Description

The Murphy L971 Series Level Switch detects

low oil level in a compressor’s crankcase.

As oil level in the crankcase depletes, the

float on the L971 switch falls, and if reaches

the predetermined limit, will trip the internal

snap-switch which in turn will initiate a

shutdown and/or alarm.

The L971 is designed for Ingersoll-Rand

Type 30, Type 40 and ESH compressors, yet

can be adapted to fit other compressors that

have an inspection plate extending below

normal operating oil level.

The L971 has a 1/2 NPT process connection

and features an explosionproof enclosure,

durable SPDT snap-switch and rigid

polyurethane foam float. A 304 stainless steel

float is available on certain configurations (see

Specifications).
