KPS - Pneumatic Oil Level Switch

KPS Pneumatic Oil Level Switch

Operating Principle

Oil Level Switches are designed as a safety device for the stationary engine or compressor. The Oil Level Switch monitors the oil in the crankcase. The level within the crankcase directly corresponds with the oil level in the oil level switch housing. The engine or compressor constantly consumes the oil from the crankcase. If the oil level in the crankcase drops past the designated level, the switch will trip sending an alarm.
