Description
The A20 Series (2 inch/51 mm dial) and the A25 Series (2-1/2 inch/64 mm dial) SWICHGAGE® models are diaphragm-actuated, temperature-indicating gages, with built-in electrical switches for tripping alarms and/or shutdown devices.
Ranges are available from 32-120°F (0-45°C) thru 300-440°F (160-220°C).
All models of these rugged, built-to-last instruments are fully sealed from the environment by the unique combination of a polycarbonate case and lens, a polished stainless steel bezel, and O-ring seals.
These vapor/pressure actuated gages feature a sealed capillary tube and a sensing bulb. When subjected to heat, the liquid in the sensing bulb changes to vapor creating pressure against a diaphragm mechanism. The diaphragm translates this vapor pressure into a mechanical gage reading.
For series A20T and A25T, the gage pointer acts as a temperature indicator and as one switch pole which completes a circuit when it touches the adjustable limit contact. Contact(s) are isolated from ground. They have self-cleaning motion to enhance electrical continuity.
Models A20TE and A25TE have internal snap-acting SPDT switches.
Gage-only models, without contacts (MURPHYGAGE®) are also available.
