Murphy TATTLETALE 518E - Manual (Page 2)

Push button will not remain in the depressed position after
engine startup (wired according to Figure 2).
• Be sure oil pressure is adequate to raise pointer past SWICHGAGE ®
contact. (Not necessary if oil pressure SWICHGAGE ® is equipped with
push button lockout.)
• Visually check wiring for loose connections, frayed wiring, etc. on all
terminals and within switch loop circuit.
• Check 14 amp fuse connected to “B” terminal.
• Check for good ground on “G” terminal.
• Disconnect switch loop circuit from “SW1” and “SW2” terminals. Place
a temporary jumper between SW1 and SW2 and restart engine. If the
push button stays in with engine running, the 518PH, 518APH & 518E is
not the problem. This indicates either an open circuit, unwanted ground,
or too high resistance in switch loop circuit wiring between “SW1” and
“SW2”.
• Verify continuity by performing the following:
1. Disconnect switch loop circuit from “SW1” and “SW2” terminals.
2. Remove power from “B” terminal.
3. Use an ohmmeter to check for “good continuity” (25 ohms or less)
through switch loop circuit. If good continuity is indicated, proceed
to Step 4.
4. Adjust SWICHGAGE ® contact away from pointer. Check continuity
between one end of loop circuit, “SW1 or “SW2” and ground. Good
continuity (25 ohms or less) indicates an unwanted ground in loop cir-
cuit such as a terminal rotating against the mounting panel. Remove
ground, restore loop circuit connections to “SW1” and “SW2”.
5. Reconnect power to “B” terminal and restart engine.
6. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between one end of the loop
circuit to the other. Resistance should not exceed 25 ohms. If resis-
tance is too high, check for loose connections in loop circuit.
Otherwise select larger size wire for loop circuit.
Engine fails to shutdown when contacts close on one-wire to
ground SWICHGAGE
® controls (wired according to Figure 1).
With engine running, jumper “SW1” to “G” terminal. If switch trips and
engine shuts down, trouble could be SWICHGAGE
® contacts not making
contact, lack of good case ground on SWICHGAGE ® , or broken/cut wire.
Lack of case ground on SWICHGAGE ® .
Verify that mounting bracket on the SWICHGAGE ® has broken through
the panel paint and has made good contact with bare metal. If good con-
tact has not been made, tighten mounting stud nuts accordingly.
Failure of contacts on SWICHGAGE ® to make contact.
Adjust contacts back and forth against the pointer to give a wiping and
cleaning action on contacts. If this does not correct the problem, replace
SWICHGAGE
® .
