Description
The 45HE Series SWICHGAGE
®
is a monitoring
and alarm/shutdown device for industrial require-
ments. It combines state-of-the-art Hall effect
switching and analog indication for Pressure,
Temperature or Level applications depending on
the model used.
The 45HE is ideal for use with DC powered solid
state controllers because it operates with
Normally Open or Normally Closed Systems
from 4.5 to 28 VDC. 120 VAC On-Off control
available in Latching Control Relay (BP) models.
Most 45HE models are available in surface mount
or panel mount case designs. Dials are dual scale,
single scale, and custom dials are also available.
Basic Operation
Based on our proven OPL, SPL and OPLH Series
SWICHGAGE
®
models, the 45HE Series includes
two magnetic-field-actuated PowerHall* transis-
tors. When the magnetized indicating pointer
meets one of the
Hall effect devices,
the corresponding
alarm or shutdown
transistor output
signal becomes
active. The 45HE
trip points are fin-
gertip adjustable.
Applications
The 45HE Series SWICHGAGE
®
models accurate-
ly and reliably measure, indicate and control pres-
sure, temperature and level in applications such as
gas compressor control panels, pumping applica-
tions, industrial process applications.
45HE models are available for specific applications
such as monitoring oil well lead lines, storage tank
levels, automatic ON/OFF pump control, etc.
Features
PLC and Solid State Compatible
The Normally Open and Normally Closed ver-
sions of the 45HE Series are suitable for Murphy
(and others) solid state TATTLETALE
®
annunci-
ators and logic controllers, PLC’s and micro-
processor-based controllers.
Low Switch Start-Up Override
A standard toggle switch is provided (N.O. and N.C.
surface mounted models) to override the low switch
during equipment start-up.
Latching Control Relay (BP Model)
The 45HEBP Series includes a latching control
relay for automatic ON/OFF control, either direct-
ly or through a motor starter.
Freeze-proof Sensing (FP Model)
A freeze-proof sensing device is available for the
45LHE Series level SWICHGAGE
®
. The freeze-
proof device inserts directly into the tank wall.
The 45LHEFP sensor is stainless steel with a
Buna-N rolling diaphragm.
Optional Features
Remote Transmitter Option (-P4)
This factory-sealed, remote pressure transmitter
protects the 45PHE sensing element from line pres-
sures of highly viscous and mildly corrosive fluids.
A 5 foot (1.5 m) stainless steel capillary tube trans-
mits pressure from the diaphragm seal to the unit.
A 1 NPTM plated steel pulsation dampener is
included to help prevent damaging pulsation.
Direct Transmitter Option (-P6)
The -P6 option is the direct mounted version of the
-P4 (remote transmitter option). This factory-
sealed mechanism consists of a 2 NPTM plated
steel diaphragm housing (304 stainless steel
diaphragm housing is optional), which attaches
directly to the 45PHE pressure SWICHGAGE
®
.
Explosion-proof Option (-EX)
Most 45HE Series SWICHGAGE
®
devices are
available with an explosion-proof case for haz-
ardous applications.
Warranty
A two-year limited warranty on materials and
workmanship is given with this Murphy product.
Details are available on request and are packed
with each unit.
