Fisherr 2100 Pneumatic and 2100E Electric
Liquid Level Switches
Fisher 2100 on-off pneumatic switch and 2100E
electric switch sense (shown in figure 1) high or low
liquid levels. Typically, these switches pneumatically or
electrically operate safety shutdown systems for field
processing equipment in oil and gas production
applications. 2100 and 2100E switches both use a
displacer‐style sensor located in an external cage that
mounts on the outside of a vessel.
Unless otherwise noted, all NACE references are to
NACE MR0175-2002.
Features
n Proven Rugged Construction—The switch is isolated
and sealed from the process through a
corrosion‐resistant displacer and torque tube
assembly for maximum reliability. The displacer can
withstand up to 1‐1/2 times the maximum working
pressure, allowing it to remain in the cage during
hydrostatic testing.
n Sour Service Capability—Materials are available for
applications handling sour fluids and gases. These
constructions comply with the metallurgical
requirements of NACE MR0175‐2002.
Environmental restrictions may apply.
n Application Versatility—The 2100 and 2100E switch
construction comes in a left‐hand as well as a
right‐hand mounting version. The explosion‐proof,
hermetically sealed 2100E switch is offered as both
a factory mounting and as an electric switch retrofit
to the proven 2100 switch.
FISHER 2100 PNEUMATIC LIQUID LEVEL SWITCH
n Installation Versatility—The displacer cage has two
1 NPT pipe plugs that you can remove and relocate
for horizontal instead of vertical equalizing piping,
or for installation of a bleed or drain valve.
n Easy Reversibility—Switching action for both the
2100 and 2100E switches is field‐reversible from
high‐level to low‐level or vice versa without
additional parts.

Figure 1. Fisher 2100E Electric Liquid Level Switch Principle of Operation
Figure 2 shows the 2100 switch with the nozzle,
flapper, and magnet positioned for high level
activation. When the switch is in the normal position
with the flapper against the nozzle, output pressure
cannot bleed off and remains the same as full supply
pressure. Rising liquid level exerts a buoyant force on
the displacer, producing a torque on the torque tube.
When the torque transmitted by the torque tube
exceeds the torque exerted on the flapper by the
magnet, the flapper snaps away from the nozzle,
allowing output pressure to bleed through the nozzle
faster than supply pressure can enter through the
bleed orifice. The reduced pressure in the output
signal line activates the shutdown or alarm system.
When the liquid level lowers, the falling displacer
forces the flapper into the field of the magnet, letting
the magnet snap the flapper against the nozzle and
causing output pressure to build to full supply
pressure.

Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the 2100 switch
positioned for low level activation. The nozzle, flapper,
and magnet are on the opposite side of the torque
tube, so that downward displacer travel moves the
flapper away from the nozzle.
With the 2100E switch (figure 4), rising liquid level
exerts a buoyant force on the torque tube that either
activates or deactivates an electrical SPDT or DPDT
switch depending on the switching action desired.
Falling liquid level deactivates or activates the same
switch depending on the action desired.
Installation
The forged‐in horizontal line on a 2100 or 2100E
displacer cage indicates the approximate switching
point. When mounted, the 2100 or 2100E switch is
positioned so that the horizontal line corresponds to
the level at which switching is desired. Isolating valves
should be installed in the equalizing piping between
the tank and the cage. Dimensions are shown in figure
5 and table 1.
Ordering Information
Application
When ordering, specify:
n Supply pressure (2100 switch only)
n SPDT or DPDT switch construction (2100E switch
only)
n Maximum working pressure and temperature
n Switching action for high or low level alarming
Construction
Refer to the specifications. Review the information
under each specification and in the referenced figures;
specify the desired selection whenever there is a
choice to be made. High level switching and
right‐hand mounting will be supplied automatically
unless otherwise specified. Always specify the
complete type number of the desired equipment.
