Murphy Electric Gage and Swichgage Switch User Manual


 
Sharper Accuracy. Higher Durability. Advanced Technology.
The EG21 Series Electric Gage and the EGS21 Series Swichgage instrument take the electric gage to new
heights with proven state of the art technology and reliability.
Electric Swichgage instrument
The EGS21 Series Swichgage instrument has all of the features of the EG21 Series Gage plus an adjustable
set point PowerHall
®
Effect switch output for operating alarms or equipment shutdown. The trip point is
adjustable over 90% of the scale and has a set point indicator visible from the gage face. Now you can have
both, the ease of electric gage installation and the reliable switching of Murphy’s famous Swichgage instrument.
