2.1 Unpacking
Unpack the instrument carefully. Take care not to bend the displacer stem or enclosing tube. Ensure all components have been removed from the packing material. Check all the contents against the packing slip and report any discrepan- cies to the factory. Before proceeding with the installation, do the following:
- Inspect all components for damage. Report any damage to the carrier within 24 hours.
- On chambered units, remove the shipping strap and wire assembly holding the displacer in place. This assembly must be removed through the bottom chamber connection before start-up. Caution: If reshipping to another location, the displacer must again be secured using the same strap and wire assembly.
- Check that the model number on the nameplate matches the packing slip and purchase order.
- Record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts. Model Number Serial Number
2.2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Magnetrol electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components which may be damaged by static electricity present in most work environments. The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge.
- Ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. If an anti- static bag is not available, wrap the board in aluminum foil. Do not place boards on foam packing materials.
- Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing circuit boards. A grounded workstation is recommended.
- Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch components or connector pins.
- Ensure that all electrical connections are completely made and that none are partial or floating. Ground all equipment to a good, earth ground.

2.3 Before You Begin
2.3.1 Site Preparation
Each E3 Modulevel transmitter is built to match the physi- cal specifications of the required installation. Ensure that the process connection(s) on the vessel matches the Modulevel’s process connection(s). SeeMounting, Section 2.4. Ensure that the wiring between the power supply and Modulevel transmitter are complete and correct for the type of installation. SeeWiring, Section 2.5. When installing the Modulevel transmitter in a general pur- pose or hazardous area, local, state and federal regulations and guidelines must be observed. SeeWiring, Section 2.5.
2.3.2 Equipment and Tools
No special equipment or tools are required to install the Electronic Modulevel. The following items are recommended:
- Wrenches, flange gaskets and flange bolting appropriate for process connection(s)
- Flat-blade screwdriver
- Level
- 1 ⁄8" Allen wrench
- Power supply
- Multimeter
- 250 to 450 ohm resistor for transmitters with HART communication
2.3.3 Operational Considerations
The Modulevel transmitter should be located for easy access for service, configuration, and monitoring. There should be sufficient headroom to allow installation and removal of the transmitter head and, in cases of tank top configuration, the displacer. Special precautions should be made to prevent exposure to corrosive atmosphere, excessive vibration, shock, or physical damage. The operating temperature range for the transmitter elec- tronics is -40° to +176° F (-40° to +80° C). The operating temperature range for the digital display is -5° to +160° F (-20° to +70° C). 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 very slowly.
948-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter
2.4 Mounting
The E3 Modulevel transmitter can be mounted to a tank using a variety of configurations and process connections. Generally, either a threaded, welded or flanged connection is used with an external cage. A flanged connection is always used on a tank top model. For information about the sizes and types of connections available, seeModel Numbers, Section 3.7. Ensure all mounting connections are in place on the tank and properly sized for the specific unit being installed. Compare the model on the nameplate with the product information to ensure the Modulevel transmitter is correct for the intended installation. If the Modulevel must be insulated, DO NOT insulate the transmitter head, e-tube or finned extensions.
2.4.1 Tank Top Installation (E3A & E3B)
Figure 5 illustrates a typical tank top installation. Before installing, ensure that:
- There is adequate headroom for the installation of the Modulevel head and displacer and that it has unobstructed entry into the vessel.
- Using a level, the mounting flange is level within 3° in all directions.
- If the adjustable hanger assembly (P/N 32-3110-001) is used, it is cut to the required length and attached to the displacer stem. NOTE: The adjustable hanger assembly is used when the top of the displacer and, therefore, the top of the measurement range must be positioned in the vessel more than 9.31" below the mounting flange. The standard hanger cable length is 8 feet. Consult factory for longer cable.

- A stilling well is installed for applications where continuous agitation is present. The stilling well must be vertically level so as not to restrict displacer movement. See Figure 6 for a typical stilling well installation.
- The process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are within the unit’s specifications for installation. SeeSpecifications, Section 3.6. T o install: 1. Position the head flange gasket on the vessel flange and gen- tly lower the displacer into the vessel. T o prevent damage to the stem/spring assembly, avoid tipping the unit or, in any way, putting lateral forces on the stem. 2. Align the flanges and ensure that the gasket is seated properly. 3. Install the flange bolts and nuts and tighten alternating nuts in a star pattern. Flange bolting torque specifications are listed on page 9. Caution: All Modulevels are shipped from the factory with the enclosing tube tightened and the transmitter head set screws locked to the enclosing tube. Failure to loosen the set screws prior to repositioning the supply and output con- nections may cause the enclosing tube to loosen, resulting in the possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor. 4. Loosen the transmitter head lock screws (socket type) and position conduit outlet in the desired direction. See Figure 7. 5. Retighten lock screws. NOTE: Since the transmitter head is rotatable through 360º, it is impor- tant to make certain that the controller locking screws are tight before making electrical connections.
2.4.2 External Chamber Installation (E3C, E3D, E3E & E3F)
The chamber type Modulevel is mounted on the side of the vessel with either a side/side or side/bottom connection, as furnished. Figure 8 on page 11 illustrates a typical chamber type installation. Before installing, ensure that:
- There is adequate room for installation of the Modulevel.
- Using a level, the vessel mounting connections are level within 3° in all directions.
- The process temperature, pressure and specific gravity are within the unit’s specifications for installation. SeeSpecifications, Section 3.6.
- If not already done, remove the shipping strap and wire assembly holding the displacer in place in the chamber. This assembly must be removed through the bottom chamber connection or drain before start-up.

1148-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter T o install: 1. Align the Modulevel process connections with those on the vessel and attach accordingly, based upon the connection type. Appropriate gaskets and bolting will be required for flanged connections. Install the flange bolts and nuts and tighten alternating nuts in a star pattern. Flange bolting torque specifications are listed on page 9. NOTE: It is recommended that shut-off valves be installed in each equalizing line to the chamber, along with a drain valve (refer to Figure 8). Equalizing lines should be sized at least as large as the connections provided at the chamber. 2. Make sure that the chamber is vertically level within 3° in each direction to ensure frictionless operation of the internal displacer. Caution: All Modulevels are shipped from the factory with the enclosing tube tightened and the transmitter head set screws locked to the enclosing tube. Failure to loosen the set screws prior to repositioning the supply and output con- nections may cause the enclosing tube to loosen, resulting in the possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor. 3. Loosen the transmitter head lock screws (socket type) and position conduit outlet in the desired direction. See Figure 7. 4. Retighten lock screws. NOTE: Since the transmitter head is rotatable through 360º, it is impor- tant to make certain that the controller locking screws are tight before making electrical connections.
2.5 Wiring
Caution: All versions of the E3 Modulevel transmitter operate at voltages of 11–36 VDC. Higher voltage will damage the transmitter. Wiring between the power supply and the E3 Modulevel transmitter should be made using minimum of 18 AWG shielded twisted pair instrument cable. Wiring must be suit- able for temperatures up to at least +85° C. Within the transmitter enclosure, connections are made to the terminal strip and the ground connections. When installing a remote mount E3 transmitter, refer to Figures 11 & 12 on page 14 for wiring connections. The directions for wiring the E3 transmitter depend on the application:
- General Purpose or Non-incendive (Cl I, Div. 2)
- Intrinsically Safe • Explosion Proof WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. Liquid Level Figure 8 Chamber Type Installation Side-Side Process Connections
12 48-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter 2.5.1 General Purpose or Non-Incendive (Cl I, Div. 2) A general purpose installation does not have flammable media present.

2.5.3 Explosion Proof
Explosion Proof (XP) is a method of designing equipment for installation in hazardous areas. A hazardous location is an area in which flammable gases or vapors are, or may be, present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explo- sive or ignitable mixtures. The wiring for the transmitter must be contained in Explosion Proof conduit extending into the safe area. See Agency Approvals, Section 3.4. To install Explosion Proof wiring – Integral mount: Due to the specialized design of the integral E3 transmitter, no Explosion Proof conduit fitting (EY seal) is required within 18" of the transmitter. An Explosion Proof conduit fitting (EY seal) is required between the hazardous and safe areas. 1. Install Explosion Proof conduit from the safe area to the conduit connection of the E3 transmitter (refer to local plant or facility procedures). 2. Remove the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter. 3. Connect shield to an earth ground at the power supply. 4. Connect an Earth ground wire to the nearest green ground screw per local electrical code. Use a minimum 18 AWG rated up to 85° C. 5. Connect the positive supply wire to the (+) terminal and the negative supply wire to the (-) terminal. 6. Replace the cover to the wiring compartment of the transmitter before applying power.

2.6 Configuring the Transmitter
The E3 Modulevel transmitter comes calibrated from the factory. Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART communicator is given inConfiguration Using HART , Section 2.7.
2.6.1 Operating Parameters
Some key information is needed to configure the E3 trans- mitter. Complete the configuration information table.See Configuration Information, Section 1.1.2.
2.6.2 Transmitter Display and Keypad
The E3 transmitter has a liquid-crystal display (LCD) capa- ble of showing two lines of 8 characters each. T ransmitter measurements and configuration menu screens are shown on the LCD. The transmitter default display is the measurement screen. It cycles every 5 seconds to display STATUS, LEVEL, %OUTPUT , and LOOP information. The transmitter defaults to this display after 5 minutes of keypad inactivity. The keypad has three butons used to scroll through the dis- plays and to calibrate the transmitter – the and keys and the key. Function in Function in Arrows Display Mode Configuration Mode Up and Down Moves forward and backward Increases or decreases the in the configuration program value displayed or moves to from one display to another. another choice. NOTE: Hold arrow key for rapid scrolling. Enter Enters the configuration mode Accepts a value and returns (noted by an exclamation point to the display mode. as the last character in the top display line).
16 48-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter
2.6.3 Password Protection (Default = 0)
The E3 transmitter is password protected to restrict access to certain portions of the menu structure that affect the operation of the system. When the proper password is entered, an exclamation point (!) appears as the last charac- ter of the first line of the display. The password can be changed to any numerical value up to 255. The password is required whenever configuration values are changed. The default password installed in the transmitter at the fac- tory is 0 (password disabled). The last step in the configura- tion menu provides the option to enter a new password. If 0 is entered as a password, the transmitter is no longer pass- word protected and any value in the menu can be altered (except factory diagnostic values) without entering a con- firming password. NOTE: If the password is not known, the menu item New Password displays an encrypted value representing the present pass- word. Call the factory with this encrypted value to determine the actual password.
2.6.4 Calibration Defaults
The E3 Modulevel transmitter comes from the factory already calibrated. The default configuration is set up such that the level range is the length of the displacer with the 4 mA set point at the bottom of the range and the 20 mA point at the top. Field calibration is not required, but each unit must be configured for the process operating condi- tions. Level measurement applications require that the operating temperature and operating specific gravity be entered via the keypad and LCD display. For Interface and Density measurement applications, only the operating temperature must be entered. While not necessary nor recommended, the E3 Modulevel can be calibrated in the actual process. This is accom- plished by selecting the User Calibration rather than the Factory Calibration. Once in the User Calibration, liquid level can be moved to the low and high calibration points and the sensor values for the low and high calibration points can be captured. See procedure on page 36.
2.6.5 Menu: Step-By-Step Procedure
The following table provides a complete explanation of the software menus displayed by the E3 transmitter. Use this table as a step-by-step guide to configure the transmitter. The second column presents the menus shown on the transmitter display. The displays are in the order they would appear if the arrow keys were used to scroll through the menu.

2.7 Configuration Using HART
Since E3 transmitter supports the HART (Highway Addressable Remote T ransducer) communication protocol, configuration tools, such as a HART 375 handheld com- municator, can be used to provide a communication link to the E3 transmitter. When connected to the control loop, the same system measurement readings shown on the trans- mitter are shown on the communicator. In addition, the communicator can be used to configure the transmitter. The HART communicator may need to be updated to include the E3 software (Device Description). Contact your local HART Service Center for additional information.
2.7.1 Connections
A HART communicator can be operated from a remote location by connecting to a remote junction or by connect- ing directly to the terminal block in the electronics housing of the E3 Modulevel transmitter. HART uses the Bell 202 frequency shift key technique of high-frequency digital signals. It operates on the 4–20 mA loop and requires a minimum of 250Ω load resistance. A typical connection between a communicator and the E3 Modulevel transmitter is illustrated.
2.7.2 HART Display Menu
For detailed operating information for the 375 Field Communicator, refer to the instruction manual provided with it. The E3 transmitter online menu tree is shown in the fol- lowing illustration. Open the menu by pressing the alphanumeric key 0, Device Setup, to display the second- level menu.

2748-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter This section presents an overview of the operation of the E3 Electronic Modulevel Displacer Level T ransmitter, information on troubleshooting common problems, listings of agency approvals, lists of replacement and recommended spare parts, and detailed physical, functional, and perform- ance specifications.
3.1 Description
The E3 Modulevel is a loop-powered, two-wire, 24 VDC level transmitter which utilizes simple buoyancy principles in combination with a precision range spring and a highly accurate LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) to detect and convert liquid level movement into a stable 4–20 mA output signal. The electronics are housed in an ergonomic, dual-compartment enclosure which is angled for ease of wiring and calibration.
3.2 Theory of Operation
The Electronic Modulevel Displacer Level T ransmitter relies on the principles of buoyancy to convert mechanical move- ment to an electronic output. See Figure 14.
3.2.1 Displacer/Range Spring
According to Archimedes principle, the buoyancy force act- ing on an object immersed in liquid is equal to the mass of the liquid displaced. As the level changes, the volume of displacer submerged in the liquid changes, thus varying the buoyancy force acting on the displacer. This change is detected by the precision range spring from which the dis- placer hangs, causing it to elongate or compress. The change in spring length causes movement of a special LVDT core which is mounted on a rigid stem attached to the spring.
3.2.2 LVDT
E3 Modulevel utilizes highly precise LVDT technology to convert the movement of the LVDT core within the LVDT to a stable 4–20 mA output signal. The position of the core with respect to a primary and two secondary windings with- in the LVDT , induces a voltage in each winding. The com- parison of the induced voltages within the microprocessor of the E3 results in very accurate level output. Moving LVDT Core Range Spring Displacer External cage Electronics Enclosure Printed Circuit Board Wiring Board LVDT Stem Keypad Display Enclosing Tube Figure 14 Electronic Modulevel Components
28 48-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter
3.2.3 Interface
E3 Modulevel is capable of tracking the interface level of two immiscible liquids with different densities. Each unit is custom-made with a displacer specially designed for the user’s application. This allows it to detect the position of a clean interface or an emulsion layer and convert it into a stable 4–20 mA signal. Contact the factory for assistance in specifying an E3 for interface service. Note that for proper interface detection, the entire displacer must always be immersed in liquid.
3.2.4 Density
Yet another capability of E3 Modulevel is to track the changing density of a liquid over a known density range and convert that into a stable 4–20 mA output signal. As the density of the liquid changes, so does the mass of the liquid displaced by the specially designed displacer. The resulting change in buoyancy force on the displacer causes the move- ment of the LVDT core necessary to convert the density change to the 4–20 mA signal.
3.3 Troubleshooting
The E3 Modulevel displacer transmitter is designed, engi- neered and constructed for trouble-free operation over a wide range of operating and application conditions. Below, common transmitter problems are discussed in terms of their symptoms and corrective actions. WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not remove covers unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non- hazardous. Use of the included PACTware™ PC program is highly recommended and invaluable for troubleshooting and advanced calibration. A HART RS232 or USB modem (purchased separately) is required. See Magnetrol PACT ware ™ bulletin 59-101. WARNING! Other than operation of the push-buttons to enter param- eter data, live maintenance is not permitted.
2948-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter Symptom Problem Solution No loop current. Power supply not turned on.Turn on power. Insufficient source voltage.E3 requires a minimum of 11 VDC at the wiring board. Verify supply voltage. Improperly wired or damaged wiring. Check wiring and connections. Defective electronics. Replace PC board assembly or wiring board as required. LEVEL, % OUTPUT and LOOP values are all inaccurate. Basic configuration data is questionable. Verify Level Offset values. If using factory calibration, verify that Process SG and Operating Temperature values are accurate. Verify/confirm that Model Parameters are accurate. Confirm set points are as expected. Transmitter does not track level. Model incompatible with process liquid Verify model in use is appropriate for process liquid SG. Possible damage to unit.Check displacer, spring, stem and enclosing tube for damage. Replace all damaged parts. Possible material buildupCheck displacer, spring, stem, enclosing tube and displacer for buildup of process material. Clean any fouled parts. Displacer, spring or stem dragging on inside of chamber, e-tube. Verify proper and level installation (within 3 degrees of plumb in all directions). Level reading on display is correct, but loop value is stuck at 4 mA. Invalid poll address. Set poll address to 0 if not using multi-drop. LEVEL, % OUTPUT and LOOP values fluctuate. Liquid turbulence. Increase damping until output stabilizes or install stilling well. Power supply unstable. Repair or replace power supply. Electrical interference (RFI).Consult factory for assistance. HART device only: Handheld will only read Universal Commands Most current Device Descriptors are not installed in handheld. Contact local HART service center for the latest DDs. Cannot set high level to 20 mA Incorrect power supply. Check power supply. Excessive loop resistanceIncrease power supply voltage or decrease loop resistance (max 620 ohms @ 24 VDC). Loop current less than 4 mA Liquid level less than 0%.No action required. Supply voltage out of limits at transmitter. Adjust power supply or reduce loop resistance. 4 mA output does not match display 4 mA may need to be trimmed. Use Trim 4 mA to adjust output to match display. Loop current exceeds 20 mA Liquid level greater than 100%. No action required. Supply voltage out of limits at transmitter. Adjust power supply or reduce loop resistance. Wired incorrectly. Check power supply (+) and (-) for reverse wiring. 20 mA output does not match display 20 mA may need to be trimmed. Use Trim 20 mA to adjust output to match display. Output jumps quickly over wide range Bent stem impeding smooth core movement Review Status History for Surge event. Inspect stem and replace if damaged. Non-linear output. Excessive loop resistance.Increase power supply voltage or decrease loop resistance. Displacer hanging up. Verify proper and level installation (within 3 degrees of plumb in all directions.) Bent stem. Check stem. Replace if damaged.

3.5.2 User Calibration Procedure
The E3 Modulevel is calibrated at the factory, so it normally requires only configuration by the user in the field. Should the E3 require replacement of any parts in the field, a user calibration must be per- formed after changing out any of the following original parts: Bezel assembly, LVDT assembly, range spring, stem assembly, or displacer. The following procedure should be followed when performing a user calibration in the field. Note: User calibration should be performed at normal operating conditions. 1. Move liquid level on displacer to desired low level point. Using keypad and LCD display, scroll down to DispFact. 2. Press to access data entry mode, down arrow until “Yes” is displayed and Enter again. The factory menu is now accessible. 3. Scroll down to CalSelct. 4. Press , then until “User” is displayed and again. 5. Scroll down to SnrCalLo. 6. Press , then and simultaneously and again. The current liquid level has been captured as the low level point. 7. Scroll down to LvlCalLo. The default value is 0.00. If a different level value is desired at this point, press , use the and keys to choose the desired value and press again. 8. Move the liquid level on displacer to the desired high level point. Scroll to SnrCalHi. 9. Press , then and simultaneously and again. The current liquid level has been captured as the high level point. 10. Scroll down to LvlCalHi. The default value is the displacer length. If a different level value is desired at this point, press , use the and keys to choose the desired value and press again. The user calibration is complete. Cage Pressure Rating Temp.

Glossary
4748-635 E3 Modulevel Displacer Level Transmitter Intrinsic SafetyA design or installation approach that limits the amount of energy that enters a hazardous area to elimi- nate the potential of creating an ignition source. Level The present reading of the height of material in a vessel. LinearityThe worst case error calculated as a deviation from a perfect straight line drawn between two calibration points. Line PoweredSee Four Wire. Loop The present reading of the 4–20 mA current output. Loop Powered See Two Wire. Loop ResistanceThe total value of the resistance in a two- wire loop including equipment and wiring. Low Voltage DirectiveA European Community require- ment for electrical safety and related issues of devices using 50–1000 VDC or 75–1500 VAC. LVDT Linear Variable Differential TransformerThis is the mechanism by which the Electronic Modulevel measures liq- uid level. This type of transformer compares the currents induced in two secondary windings to determine the position of the transformer core and, therefore, the liquid level. Measured Value The typical measurement values used to track the level of a process: Level, % Output and Loop. Media The liquid material being measured by the level transmitter. Multidrop The ability to install, wire, or communicate with multiple devices over one cable. Each device is given a unique address and ID. Non-hazardous AreaAn area where no volatile mixtures of vapors/gas and oxygen will be found at any time.Also called General Purpose Area. Non-incendiveA circuit in which any arc or thermal effect produced, under intended operating conditions of the equip- ment or due to opening, shorting, or grounding of field wiring, is incapable, under specific test conditions, of igniting the flammable gas, vapor, or dust-air mixture. Password A numerical value between 0 and 255 that pro- tects stored configuration data from unauthorized manipula- tion. Percent (%) Output The present reading as a fraction of the 16mA scale (4–20mA). Poll Address (HART ID) A number between 1 and 15 which sets an address or location of a device in a multi-drop loop. Poll address for single device configuration is 0. Primary Winding The inductor within a transformer to which the voltage source is connected and which, as a result, produces the magnetic field. QuickStartThe essential information needed for the E3 Modulevel to be installed, wired and calibrated. Range The maximum value to which the control may sense level. In the case of the Modulevel, this value is limited to the physical size of the displacer. RepeatabilityThe maximum error between two or more output readings of the same process condition. RFI Radio Frequency InterferenceElectrical noise that can have an adverse affect on electrical circuits, particularly low- power devices. Secondary Winding The inductor within a transformer in which current is induced by the magnetic field of the primary winding. Span The whole or some portion of difference between the upper and lower limits of the range, which is chosen by the user. Specific Gravity (SG)The ratio of the density of a material to the density of water at the same conditions. StatusThe current state of the transmitter’s diagnostics; screen updates every 10 seconds. Stilling WellA device, usually a tube or pipe, which encloses the sensing element of a level control in order to protect it from and minimize the effects of turbulence in the vessel. T o ensure that the level in the well is identical to that outside the well, it must have vent holes included near the top to allow escape of vapor trapped above the liquid level. T ransformerAn electrical device which transfers electrical energy from a primary winding to one or more secondary windings by magnetic induction (no electrical contact) T rim 4/T rim 20 Built-in system capability to fine tune the 4 mA and 20 mA points so the transmitter output corresponds exactly to user’s meter, DCS input, etc. T wo Wire An electrical instrument design that uses one set of wires to provide both the supply power and process meas- urement signal. The process measurement is achieved by vary- ing the current of the loop. Also calledLoop Powered. Units The engineering units used to measure the level in the system. Warning (message)The second level in the hierarchy of Diagnostics annunciating conditions that are not fatal but may affect measurement. A message will occur on the main (rotating) screen when a Warning is detected but will not affect output current. Further information can be obtained by viewing the Status or Diagnostic screens.
BULLETIN: 48-635.2 EFFECTIVE: July 2011 SUPERSEDES: June 2009 Service Policy Owners of Magnetrol controls 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 control; 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 consequential damage will be allowed. For T echnical Support contact one of the offices listed below. 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 a Magnetrol 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. NOTE: See Electrostatic Discharge Handling Procedure on page 7. NOTE: If unit needs to be returned, the displacer must be secured to prevent damage in transit.
