The SPLC SWICHGAGE
®
low limit contact can be bypassed for equipment
start up. A toggle switch is provided for this purpose. The toggle switch must be
manually reset when temperature rises above the low limit.
Installing a thermowell is rec-
ommended for high pressure
applications or corrosive envi-
ronments. It also allows sens-
ing bulbs to be changed or
adjusted without opening the
connection to process.
Murphy offer thermowells for
a variety of applications.
For details see Murphy
bulletin T-9003B.
