SPDT snap switch (optional DPDT on some models) for alarm or shutdown of an engine or electric motor. The LS200 connects via a thread-o-let directly into the vessel wall and can be used with a weld collar (P/N 15050375) or Murphy external float chamber. L1100 models (1-1/2” NPT) are also available.
Pneumatic media devices require clean, dry, instrument quality air or gas. This unit is supplied with a pressure regulator, filter and Murphy 20BPG pressure gage for improved system life and trouble-free operation. LS200NDVOR pneumatic level switch with dump valve operator, pressure regulator and...
LS200NDVO Pneumatic level switch with snap action Dump Valve Operator (DVO) without the pressure regulator for those applications where the system provides a filter regulator for “instrument quality” air or gas as the control medium. LS200NDVO pneumatic level switch with dump valve operator LS200N Pneumatic level switch without the DVO and filter regulator.
Screw the unit directly into the threaded connection in the wall of the pressure vessel. For LS200 and L1100, verify that the electrical connection is positioned at the bottom. For LS200N the 1/8” NPT pneumatic connection should be on top (the 3/8”...
Installation Using Murphy External Float Chamber Install the Murphy float chamber 15051098 or 15051168 on the outside wall of the pressure vessel using 1” NPT piping or use the mounting surface with a bracket. Position the 2” NPT threaded connection at the height where you want the level switch to operate.
Valve seat adjustment can be made if air/gas begins to leak. Care should be taken when adjusting as only slight movement is necessary to stop the leakage; excessive force will bind the seating mechanism. See the instruction below for adjustment. CAUTION: Avoid excessive Teflon tape which may inhibit proper operation.
Replacing and Installing the DVO Assembly NOTE: When replacing/installing the DVO assembly, tubing and fitting modifications may be required. We suggest removing the LS200NDVO/DVOR from the vessel. Relieve pressure from the vessel or use block valves before removing the LS200NDVO/DVOR. Models LS200NDVO &...

Instructions Block off and bleed the instrument gas pressure supply to the LS200NDVO/DVOR. Remove the tubing between the LS200NDVO/DVOR and the scrubber dump valve, and remove the supply gas tubing (regulator [-R-] if used). Remove the LS200NDVO/DVOR from the vessel (optional). If the LS200NDVO/DVOR was removed from the vessel, mount it in a suitable vise on a work bench (if possible).

CAUTION: Ensure that the actuator arm is not bent during reassembly. With the DVO aligned over the hex on the LS200NDVO body, tighten the valve using the 9/16” hex wrench. You may need to hold the DVO while tightening to keep it from rotating.
Electrical Replacement Parts CAUTION: LS200 Series parts are not interchangeable with other Murphy liquid level products. Damage caused by the above mentioned is not covered by our Limited Warranty. Order by part number designation. LS200 15000479: Stainless Steel float for LS200 (not interchangeable with L1200)
