 Instruments

20, 25, A20 and A25 Series, 2 and 2-1/2 in. (51 and 64 mm) Dial Sizes

The 2 and 2-1/2 in. (51 and 64 mm) dial size Murphygage and 
Swichgage instruments are diaphragm-actuated, pressure or vacuum 
gages with a 1/8-27 NPTM pressure port connection (2 pressure 
ports for differential pressure models).
Models with face-adjustable contact(s) are rated for 2 A @ 30 V (pilot 
duty). If the gage case is steel (20P, 25P, 20DP, 25DP etc.), the ground 
path for the contact circuit is through the case. Therefore, the case 
must be installed in the ground plane of the electrical power supply.
If the case is polycarbonate (A20P, A20DP, A25P, A25DP etc.), the 
ground path is isolated and is made through the C or P terminals on 
the back of the gage case (C for A20 models; P for A25 models).
Models 20PE, 25PE, A20PE, A25PE etc. have a snap-acting switch 
instead of the face adjustable pointer type contact. Electrical rating 
is 3 A @ 30 VDC, 4 A @ 125 VAC. Reset differential for the switch is 
approximately 10% of the scale.

NOTE:

 

Select a scale so your normal operating pressure is in the 

upper middle of the scale.

Alarm Before Shutdown Models

The models 20PABS, A20PABS, 25PABS and A25PABS feature a 
front limit contact for equipment shutdown and an internal SPDT 
snap-switch for Alarm Before Shutdown. When the low side (preset 
point) of the snap-switch trips, the N.C. terminal completes a circuit 
to activate an alarm. A continued decrease in pressure will complete 
the shut-down circuit. An increase in pressure of approximately 10% 
of scale is necessary before the snap-switch (alarm) will reset and 
open the circuit. 

Description

Typical Tattletale

 Magnetic Switch

Murphy by Enovation Controls manufactures several patented 
Magnetic Switches for protection of the pilot-duty Swichgage 
contacts and to ensure positive shutdown of equipment. There are 
magnetic switches for CD ignition, Magneto, Battery systems and 
electric motor-driven equipment. Tattletale annunciators show the 
cause of shutdown. The first one to trip will lockout all other Tattletale 
annunciators. Be sure the type of magnetic switch or Tattletale 
annunciator matches the power source used to trip it.

NOTE:

 At equipment startup (for models not having a built-in time 

delay), the reset button must be held in until normal operation occurs 
or an external time delay may be used. Instructions are packed with 
each Magnetic Switch or Tattletale annunciator.

Before beginning installation of this Murphy product: 

• 

Disconnect all electrical power to the machine

• 

Make sure the machine cannot operate during installation 

• 

Follow all safety warnings of machine manufacture

Please read the following instructions and visually inspect product for shipping damage before installation.

When properly used, the Swichgage instruments, magnetic switches 
and shut-down or alarm devices are effective tools in any preventive 
maintenance program. For optimum performance, check these tools 
periodically: 

 

3

Look for frozen pointers, kinked/worn tubing, broken wiring or 
loose connections. 

 

3

Operate the contacts and watch for expected results. 

 

3

Replace damaged/worn parts; clean/repair as necessary. Check 
for correct/complete wiring, unbroken insulation and no accidental 
grounds. 

 

3

Do not run shut-down wires with ignition wiring. 

 

3

Check all tubing and connections for leaks. 

Check List

Panel Mounting

1. Remove the mounting clamp 

and fasteners.

2. Insert the gage from the front 

side of the panel. 

3. Reinstall the mounting clamp 

and fasteners. Do NOT over-
tighten.

All models can be installed in a panel from 0.032 to 0.250 in. (1 to 6 
mm) thick.  

IMPORTANT

: Mount the magnetic switches and valves 

upright to prevent moisture collection.

Certain dangers to human safety and to   

equipment may occur if some equipment is 

stopped without pre-warning.

 It is recommended that monitored functions be limited to alarm 

only or to alarm before shutdown.

Products covered by this bulletin comply with EMC Council directive 89/336/
EEC regarding electromagnetic compatibility except as noted.
