General Information

Description

The Murphy LM2000 model maintains the crankcase oil level of an engine, pump or compressor. Adjusted to the 
correct running-oil-level, the LM2000 will replenish oil as it is used. An integral, low-level switch will alarm and/or 
shutdown the equipment if supply oil is lost and the equipment continues to use oil.

Dimensions

Operating Range of the Snap-Switch

Figure 1

 shows the LM2000 dial and the operating 

range of the switch. If level is within the designated 
zones the switch will activate.
The switch activates approximately 1/4 in. (6 mm) from 
the bottom of the low zone. The dial in 

Figure 1

 shows 

that if level continues to drop into the low-low zone, a 
shutdown will occur.

 Figure 1

NOTE:

 Color zones on dial face show approximate normal operating zones. Actual 

conditions may vary depending upon operating characteristics of the engine. Placement 
of the LM2000 according to the above instructions will compensate for these conditions.
