1.1 Unpacking

Unpack the instrument carefully. Inspect all units for damage. Report any concealed damage to carrier within 24 hours. Check the contents against the packing slip and purchase order. Check and record the serial number for future reference when ordering parts. Caution: Do not discard the shipping container until all parts are accounted for.

1.2 Critical Alarm Function

It is recommended that for critical alarm functions, an additional level switch be installed as a high–high or low–low level alarm for maximum protection.

1.3 Piping

An instruction tag secured to the control gives dimensional data on switch actuating levels referenced from center line of upper side tank connection. Position control so that actuating levels correspond with the desired liquid level trip points in process vessel. Use pipe of sufficient strength to support the control. If necessary, provide a stand or hanger to help support its weight. All piping should be straight and free of “low spots” or “pockets” so that lower liquid line will drain towards the vessel and upper vapor line will drain toward the control. Shut-off valves are recommended for installa- tion between the vessel and the control. If control is to be used with a low temperature liquid (one which will “boil” in the float chamber if outside heat is absorbed), the chamber and piping should be insulated. Such boiling in the chamber will cause false level indications. Caution: DO NOT INSULATE SWITCH MECHANISM HOUSING. For controls equipped with pneumatic switch assemblies, consult bulletin on mechanism furnished for air (or gas) piping instructions.

1.4 Mounting

Caution: This instrument is intended for use in Installation CategoryII, Pollution Degree 2 locations. Adjust piping as required to bring control to a vertical position. Magnetrol controls must be mounted within 3° of vertical in all directions. A three-degree slant is notice- able by eye, but installation should be checked with a spirit level on top and/or sides of float chamber. Caution: Never insulate the switch housing of the level control. Installation and maintenance of tandem float models are accomplished in much the same manner as described for standard models. Additional consideration must be given to the piping arrangement to allow for alignment of the two switch actuating level marks on the float chamber with the desired levels in the vessel. Caution: Operation of all buoyancy type level devices should be done in such a way as to minimize the action of dynamic forces on the float or displacer sensing element. Good practice for reducing the likelihood of damage to the con- trol is to equalize pressure across the device slowly.

1.5 Wiring

Caution: All Flanged Float Cage units are shipped from the factory with the enclosing tube tightened and the switch housing set screw locked to the enclosing tube. Failure to loosen the set screw prior to repositioning the supply and output connections may cause the enclosing tube to loosen, resulting in possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor. Flanged float cage controls are shipped with the conduit entry of the switch housing placed 180° opposite the tank connections to simplify most installations. If this configu- ration is appropriate to the installation, proceed to Step 4 to begin wiring the unit. If another configuration is desired, the switch housing can be easily rotated by first following Steps 1, 2, and 3. NOTE: A switch or circuit breaker shall be installed in close proximity to equipment and within easy reach of operator. It shall be marked as the disconnecting device for equipment. 1. Loosen set screw(s) at base of switch housing. Refer to Figure 1. 2. Switch housing may be rotated 360° to allow correct positioning of conduit outlet. 3. Tighten set screw(s) at base of switch housing. Set Screw Screw Figure 1

2.1 Description

Flanged External Cage liquid level switches are completely self-contained units designed for side mounting to a vessel or tank with threaded or flanged pipe connections.

2.2 Theory of Operation

The design of float-operated level switches is based upon the principle that a magnetic field will not be affected by non-magnetic materials such as 316 stainless steel The float moves a magnetic attraction sleeve within a non-magnetic enclosing tube and actuates a magnetic switch mechanism. The enclosing tube provides a pressure seal to the chamber and therefore to the process.

2.3 Operating Cycle

As the liquid level rises in the chamber, the float moves the magnetic attraction sleeve up within the enclosing tube and into the field of the switch mechanism magnet. As a result, the magnet is drawn in tightly to the enclosing tube, causing the switch to trip making or breaking an electrical circuit. Refer to Figure 3. As the liquid level falls, the float drops and moves the attraction sleeve out of the magnetic field, releasing the switch mechanism magnet. The tension spring ensures the return of the switch in a snap action. Refer toFigure 4. Tandem float units incorporate two floats which operate independently. They are arranged so that the lower float actuates the upper switch mechanism while the upper float actuates the lower switch mechanism. The upper float is attached to the lower attraction sleeve by means of a hol- low stem. The lower float attaches to the upper attraction sleeve with a solid stem which extends upward through the upper float and stem assembly.

2.4 Switch Differential Adjustment

The standard differential of Flanged Cage float models with one switch may be field adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if a wider differential needs to be set to overcome switch chatter caused by the process. NOTE: This procedure may be applied to single switch models only. Enclosing tube (non-magnetic) Sleeve (magnetic) Float Normal operating level Magnet Return Spring Pivot Figure 3 Low level Swing out position Figure 4

8 46-605 Flanged External Cage Float Actuated Liquid Level Switches The differential, or the amount of level travel between switch-on and switch-off, may be adjusted by repositioning the lower jam nuts on the float stem. This adjustment is different for high level and low level controls. Refer to the appropriate section below for adjustment instructions. NOTE: Maximum differential adjustment is 1 inch. Caution: Differential adjustments should NOT be made in the field on tandem float models. Switch actuation levels have been set at the factory to meet customer specifications. Variations in actual conditions from design conditions, usually require special control modifications. Consult the factory or your local representative for assistance.

2.4.1 Low level controls

On low level controls the switch trips on the lower actua- tion point and resets on the higher actuation point. Widening the differential will allow the switch to trip on the original actuation point and reset at a later or higher point. The differential on low level controls may be adjusted by repositioning the lower jam nuts on the float stem. The standard factory setting is for a minimum amount of play (gap) between the top jam nuts and the attraction sleeve. Refer to Figure 6. 1. Determine what change in differential is necessary. NOTE: To widen the differential by one inch, the lower jam nuts must be set proportionately lower on the stem (i.e., in this example by 1 inch). 2. Make sure power source is turned off. 3. Unscrew and remove switch housing cover. 4. Disconnect power supply wires from switch mechanism. Pull wires out of conduit connection opening in housing base. Refer toFigure 7. 5a. Perform system shut-down procedures as required to relieve pressure from float chamber of control. Allow unit to cool. 5b. Close shut-off valves (if so equipped) to isolate control from tank. Drain off liquid in float chamber. 5c. On installations without shut-off valves, relieve pressure from the tank. Drain liquid in tank to a level below the connections of the float chamber. NOTE: Level control, connections and pipe lines need not be removed from the tank. 6. Loosen enclosing tube nut with a15⁄16 " wrench. Unscrew enclosing tube counterclockwise (switch and housing base will rotate also), until it is free. Refer toFigure 7. Figure 6 Differential adjustment For access to bottom jam nuts, remove top jam nuts, washer, and attracting sleeve.

Measure the distance “D” from the top edge of the upper jam nuts to the top of the float stem. Refer toFigure 6. Record this measurement. 9. Loosen and remove upper jam nuts, guide washer and attraction sleeve. 10. Loosen and adjust lower jam nuts to the desired position. Tighten lower jam nuts securely. Refer toFigure 6. 11. Replace attraction sleeve on stem. 12. Replace upper jam nuts and guide washer on the stem in the position previously noted. Tighten upper jam nuts securely. Refer toFigure 6. NOTE: Use a new enclosing tube gasket when reassembling enclos- ing tube to the chamber. Make certain that all gasket surfaces are thoroughly cleaned to allow proper gasket seating. Coat enclosing tube threads with anti-seizing compound. 13. Replace enclosing tube, switch, and base on chamber. Screw tube clockwise until tightened to 200–225 foot- pounds of torque. 14. Loosen the set screws at the base of the switch housing. Rotate switch housing to correct position and tighten set screws. Refer to Figure 1on page 5. Caution: After increasing gap setting, be certain to check for proper operation of switch mechanism by raising and lowering float assembly. Magnet must snap cleanly. Additional float movement will be available after magnet snaps. 15. Bring supply wires through conduit outlet. Follow steps 5 through 10 inWiring, Section 1.5. 16. T est switch action by varying liquid level in float chamber. NOTE: If switch mechanism fails to function properly, check vertical alignment of control housing and consult installation bulletin on switch mechanism. If the unit still fails to function properly, consult the factory.

2.4.2 High level controls

On high level controls the switch trips on the higher actuation point and resets on the lower actuation point. Caution: In high level controls, widening the differential requires raising the trip point a proportional amount. The reset point will remain the same. T o widen the differential by raising the trip point, follow steps 1 through 16 inLow level controls, Section 2.4.1.

  1. Disconnect wiring or medium lines from control and per- form system shutdown. SeeTroubleshooting, Section 3.0. 2. Remove switch housing assembly from float chamber at head flange. 3. Remove sleeve stop strap from the underside of the head flange and slide the float stem assembly out of the enclos- ing tube. NOTE: New float and stem kits are supplied unassembled. Refer to Figure 8for standard jam nut settings (Dimension A). 4. Check new float and stem assembly to be certain it is the correct replacement unit: a. Float should be of same physical size and shape. b. Stem length should match closely. c. Set attraction sleeve per Dimension A as shown in Figure 8. NOTE: If differential adjustment has been altered in the field, disregard Dimension A and readjust new assembly to the previously determined level differential settings. See Switch Differential Adjustment, Section 2.4. 5. Replace new float and stem assembly into head flange and install new stop strap with screws included. 6. Remount head flange on float chamber using new gasket provided. Tighten flange nuts evenly, using an alternating pattern typical of standard industry practice. NOTE: Care must be taken during installation to be certain float stem does not bend. 7. With control assembly in place, test switch actuation by varying liquid level in float chamber. NOTE: When reassembling the enclosing tube or the upper flange assembly to the control, tighten according to the following torque values. 0.03" Minimum gap setting Top jam nuts Bottom jam nuts Attraction sleeve Enclosing tube (ref.)

3.0 Troubleshooting

Usually the first indication of improper operation is failure of the controlled equipment to function, i.e., pump will not start (or stop); signal lamps fail to light, etc. When these symptoms occur, whether at time of installation or during routine service thereafter, check the following potential external causes first. Fuses may be blown. Reset button(s) may need resetting. Power switch may be open. Controlled equipment may be faulty. Wiring leading to control may be defective. If a thorough inspection of these possible conditions fails to locate the trouble, proceed next to a check of the switch mechanism.

3.1 Check Switch Mechanism

  1. Pull switch or otherwise disconnect power to the control. 2. Remove switch housing cover. 3. Disconnect power wiring from switch assembly. 4. Swing magnet assembly in and out by hand to check care- fully for any sign of binding. Assembly should require minimal force to move it through its full swing. 5. If binding exists, magnet may be rubbing enclosing tube. If magnet is rubbing, loosen magnet clamp screw and shift magnet position. Retighten magnet clamp screw. 6. If switch magnet assembly swings freely and mechanism still fails to actuate, check installation of control to be certain it is within the specified 3° of vertical. 7. Check microswitch continuity with ohmeter. if switch is damaged, replace immediately. 8. If switch mechanism is operating satisfactorily, proceed to check sensing unit. NOTE: As a matter of good practice spare switches should be kept on hand at all times.

3.2 Check Sensing Unit

  1. Reconnect power supply. Carefully actuate the switch mechanism manually (use a non-conductive tool on electri- cal switch mechanisms) to determine whether controlled equipment will operate. Caution: With electrical power on, care should be taken to avoid contact with switch leads and connections at terminal block. 2. If controlled equipment responds to manual actuation test, trouble may be located in the level sensing portion of the control, float(s), stem(s), and magnetic attraction sleeve(s). 3. Check to be certain liquid is entering float chamber. A valve may be closed or piping may be plugged. Caution: Be certain to pull disconnect switch or otherwise ensure that electrical circuit(s) through control is deactivated. Close operating medium supply valve on controls equipped with pneumatic switch mechanisms. 4. Disconnect wiring from supply side of switch mechanism(s) and remove electrical conduit or operating medium line connections to switch housing. 5. Perform system shutdown to relieve pressure from float chamber of control. Allow unit to cool. 6. Close shutoff valves (if equipped) to isolate control from vessel. Drain off liquid in chamber if necessary. 7. On installations without shutoff valves, relieve pressure from vessel and drain off liquid head above control mounting level. NOTE: Control chamber, connections, and pipe lines need not be removed from vessel or boiler. 8. Remove switch housing assembly by loosening hex nut, which is located immediately below housing base. 9. With switch housing assembly removed, inspect attraction sleeve(s) and inside of enclosing tube for excessive corro- sion or solids buildup. Such buildup could restrict move- ment, preventing sleeve(s) from reaching field of switch magnet(s). 10. If differential has been changed in the field by reposition- ing the lower jam nuts on the float stem, check tightness and position of the jam nuts. NOTE: Differential adjustment affects a change in the amount of level travel between switch-on and switch-off actuations.Do not attemptadjustment without first consulting factory for assis- tance in computing level differential change for your control.

46-605 Flanged External Cage Float Actuated Liquid Level Switches 13 11. Check float to be certain it is buoyant in the liquid (float chamber or vessel must have adequate liquid level). If float is determined to be filled with liquid, or it is collapsed, it must be replaced immediately. Caution: Do not attempt to repair a float.See Replacement of Standard Float and Stem Assembly, Section 2.5. If all components in the control are in operating condition, the trouble is likely located external to the control. Repeat inspection of external conditions as previously described. NOTE: If difficulties are encountered which cannot be identified, consult the factory or your local representative for assistance. A complete description of the trouble should be provided along with information concerning your piping and mounting arrangement, plus a description of your operating sequence. Sketches or photographs showing the installation are also beneficial. When inquiring about your control, be certain to always specify the complete Model and Serial numbers. Periodic inspections are necessary to keep your level control in good working order. This control is a safety device to protect the valuable equipment it serves. A systematic program of “preventive maintenance” must be implemented when the control is placed into service. If the following sections on “what to do” and “what to avoid” are observed, your control will provide reliable protection of your equipment for many years.

4.1 What To Do

4.1.1 Keep control clean

Be sure the switch housing cover is always in place on the control. This cover is designed to keep dust and dirt from interfering with switch mechanism operation. It also pro- tects against damaging moisture and acts as a safety feature by keeping bare wires and terminals from being exposed. Should the housing cover or any seals become damaged or misplaced, obtain a replacement immediately.

  1. Dry contact switches should be inspected for excessive wear on actuating lever or misalignment of adjustment screw at point of contact between screw and lever.

14 46-605 Flanged External Cage Float Actuated Liquid Level Switches Such wear can cause false switch actuating levels. See switch mechanism bulletin supplied with control should switch adjustment or replacement become necessary. 2. DO NOT operate your control with defective or malad- justed switch mechanisms. Refer to bulletin on switch mechanisms furnished for service instructions. SeeSwitch and Housing Reference, Section 6.2.2. 3. Level controls may sometimes be exposed to excessive heat or moisture. Under such conditions, insulation on electrical wiring may become brittle, eventually breaking or pealing away. The resulting “bare” wires can cause short circuits. NOTE: Check wiring carefully and replace at the first sign of brittle insulation. 4. Vibration may cause terminal screws to loosen. Check all terminal connections to be certain that screws are tight. 5. On units with pneumatic switches, air (or gas) lines sub- jected to vibration may eventually crack or become loose at connections causing leakage. Check lines and connec- tions carefully and repair or replace if necessary. NOTE: As a matter of good practice, spare switches should be kept on hand at all times.

4.1.3 Inspect entire unit periodically

Isolate control from vessel. Raise and lower liquid level to check for switch contact and reset.

4.2 What To Avoid

  1. Never leave switch housing cover off the control longer than necessary to make routine inspections. 2. Never place a jumper wire across terminals to “cut-out”the control. If a “jumper” is necessary for test purposes, be cer- tain it is removed before placing control into service. 3. Never attempt to make adjustments or replace switches without reading instructions carefully. Certain adjustments provided for in level controls should not be attempted in the field. When in doubt, consult the factory or your local representative. 4. Never use lubricants on pivots of switch mechanisms. A sufficient amount of lubricant has been applied at the factory to ensure a lifetime of service. Further oiling is unnecessary and will only tend to attract dust and dirt which can interfere with mechanism operation.

All rights reserved. Printed in the USA. Service Policy Owners of Magnetrol may request the return of a control or any part of a control for complete rebuilding or replacement. They will be rebuilt or replaced promptly. Controls returned under our service policy must be returned by Prepaid transportation. Magnetrol will repair or replace the control at no cost to the purchaser (or owner) other than transportation if: 1. Returned within the warranty period; and 2. The factory inspection finds the cause of the claim to be covered under the warranty. If the trouble is the result of conditions beyond our con- trol; or, is NOT covered by the warranty, there will be charges for labor and the parts required to rebuild or replace the equipment. In some cases it may be expedient to ship replacement parts; or, in extreme cases a complete new control, to replace the original equipment before it is returned. If this is desired, notify the factory of both the model and serial numbers of the control to be replaced. In such cases, credit for the materials returned will be determined on the basis of the applicability of our warranty. No claims for misapplication, labor, direct or consequen- tial damage will be allowed. Return Material Procedure So that we may efficiently process any materials that are returned, it is essential that a “Return Material Authorization” (RMA) number be obtained from the factory, prior to the material's return. This is available through Magnetrol’s local representative or by contacting the factory. Please supply the following information: 1. Company Name 2. Description of Material 3. Serial Number 4. Reason for Return 5. Application Any unit that was used in a process must be properly cleaned in accordance with OSHA standards, before it is returned to the factory. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must accompany material that was used in any media. All shipments returned to the factory must be by prepaid transportation. All replacements will be shipped F .O.B. factory. ASSURED QUALITY & SERVICE COST LESS Hastelloy® is a registered trademark of Haynes International, Inc.
