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 a self-cleaning motion to enhance electrical continuity.
Coolant or Oil Temperature
- A20T and A25T Series Swichgage
For these models the gage pointer makes with an adjustable contact to complete a pilot-duty circuit. - A20TL and A25TL Swichgage instrument
For use on Ford Worldwide engines. Supplied with special sensing bulb. - A20TE (was A20ESR) and A25TE (was A25ESR) Swichgage instrument internal snap-switch
Models with internal SPDT snap-switches instead of the single pole/pointer contact(s). When the switch closes on rising temperature, it becomes set. As temperature decreases, the switch resets.
Model A25TE is CSA listed for non-hazardous areas.
Model A25TE-EX is CSA listed for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D hazardous areas. - A20TABS and A25TABS Swichgage instrument
Same as A20/A25T with internal SPDT snap-switch for pre-alarm.
Cylinder Head Temperature
- A20TH (was A20TL8133) and A25TH (was A25TL8133) Swichgage instrument
For use on air-cooled engines.
Gauge–Only Models
- A20TG and A25TG MurphyGage
Gauge without contacts.
