764,766,768 (F) Mounted Switches

Overview

764,766,768 (F)

For refinery and petrochemical operators, terminal automation teams, chemical and wastewater plant engineers, pump control system designers, and EPC firms who require two independent level switching points in a single external chamber, the Omnitrol 764 / 766 / 768 (F) provides a dual-actuator displacer switch designed for high-pressure service, clean alarm logic, and reliable pump start/stop control.
Unlike alternatives that require two vessel penetrations, complex wiring, or electronic tuning, the 76xF series combines:

The result is a maintenance-friendly, flanged chamber level switch that provides predictable HI/LO or pump control points in a compact, rugged design—ideal for pressurized and safety-critical applications across upstream, midstream, downstream, and industrial process facilities.

Details

The Omnitrol 764 / 766 / 768 (F) series offers dual-actuator mechanical displacer level switching in a flanged chamber body, providing two independent switch points without two nozzles or complex system plumbing.

Ideal where:

The chamber mounts externally to a pressurized vessel or bypass column and can be isolated for service without breaking the pressure seal to the tank.

Choose model 764F / 766F / 768F depending on switching gap and chamber body size.

FAQs

We have tried to answer the most common questions we are asked here.

When you need two setpoints in one nozzle — for HI/LO alarms or pump start/stop.

The spacing and chamber size — select based on desired differential and vessel dynamics.

No — it ships factory-calibrated to your specific gravity and switching differential.

Yes — available with UL/CSA explosion-proof approval.

Specify 76xW for welded-chamber configurations; use 76xF for flanged.

Yes. The 764F/766F/768F features a configurable switching gap (approx. 2–6 inches), which is the difference between the high and low setpoints. This adjustability allows engineers to deliberately set a wider differential to prevent the pump from “short-cycling” during process surge conditions.

Yes. The unit is factory-calibrated to the specified SG of the fluid. While the switch will work across a range, the mechanical design ensures that the buoyant force needed for actuation remains consistent. By knowing the fluid’s SG, the factory ensures the physical switching points are accurate, eliminating a major source of error common in level switches.
