ASME B31.1 Construction
4 46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction Swing in position Switch Return spring Enclosing tube (non-magnetic) Attraction sleeve Magnet HL Magnetrol's Series 3 level switches are float operated units suitable for use on clean liquid applications for level alarm, pump control and safety shutdown functions. Units are designed, fabricated and certified to compliance with ASME B31.1 specifications.
1.1 Principle of Operation
The design of Magnetrol float-operated level switches is based upon the principle that a magnetic field will pene- trate non-magnetic materials such as 316 stainless steel. The float moves a magnetic attraction sleeve within a non- magnetic enclosing tube and actuates a switch mechanism. The enclosing tube provides a pressure seal to the chamber and therefore to the process.
1.2 Operating Cycle
As the liquid level rises in the chamber (refer toFigure 1), the float moves the magnetic attraction sleeve up within the enclosing tube and into the field of the switch mecha- nism 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. As the liquid level falls, the float drops and moves the attraction sleeve out of the magnetic field, releasing the switch at a predetermined “low level” (refer to Figure 2). The tension spring ensures the return of the switch in a snap action.
2.1 Unpacking
Unpack the instrument carefully. Inspect all units for damage. Report any concealed damage to carrier within 24 hours. Check the contents of the packing slip and purchase order. Check and record the serial numbers and model numbers for future reference when ordering parts. Figure 1 Switch Tripped Swing out position LL Figure 2 Switch Released

2.2 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.
2.3 Piping
Figure 3 shows a typical piping installation of a Magnetrol Series 3 control to a pressure vessel. Level decals on control identify the actuation levels for the bottom switch mecha- nism of a unit with three switches at minimum specific gravity. T o find the actuation levels for a unit with one switch at different minimum specific gravities, refer to the charts inActuation Levels, Steam Service Ratings and Specific Gravities, Section 5.2.5, on page 27. 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. DO NOT INSULATE SWITCH MECHANISM HOUSING. On controls equipped with pneumatic switch assemblies, consult bulletin on mechanism furnished for air (or gas) piping instructions. Refer to the chart on page 7 for bulletin numbers for pneumatic switches.
2.4 Mounting
Caution: If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Caution: This instrument is intended for use in Installation Category II, Pollution Degree 2. Adjust piping as required to bring control to a vertical position. Magnetrol controls must be mounted within 3° of vertical. A 3° slant is noticeable by eye, but installation should be checked with a spirit level on top and/or sides of float chamber. Shutoff valve Drain valve Conduit outlet Switch actuating level reference marks Max. 12" Pressure vessel Figure 3 Typical Piping Arrangement
6 46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction Controls should be mounted as close to the vessel as possi- ble. This will result in a more responsive and accurate level change in the control. Liquid in a long line may be cooler and more dense than liquid in the vessel causing lower level indication in the control than actual level 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.
2.5 Wiring
NOTE: A switch or circuit breaker shall be installed in close proximi- ty to equipment and within easy reach of operator. It shall be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment. NOTE: For supply connections in installations with ambient tempera- ture up to +158° F (+70° C), use wire with a minimum rating of +167° F (+75° C) as required by the process conditions. Installations with ambient temperatures up to +176° F (+80° C) require wire with a minimum rating of +185° F (+85° C) as required by the process conditions. Use a mini- mum of 14 AWG wire for power and ground field wires. Caution: Level controls are shipped from the factory with the enclosing tube tightened and the middle set screw, on the housing base, locked to the enclosing tube. Failure to loosen the set screw prior to repositioning the conduit con- nection may cause the enclosing tube to loosen, resulting in the possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor. Series 3 controls are shipped with the conduit entry of the switch housing placed 180° opposite to the tank con- figurations to simplify installation in most cases. If this configuration 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. 1. Loosen set screw(s) at base of switch housing. Refer to Figure 4. 2. Switch housing may be rotated 360° to allow correct posi- tioning of conduit outlet. 3. Tighten set screw(s) at base of switch housing. 4. Unscrew and remove switch housing cover. The threads have been lubricated to facilitate removal. NOTE: On high temperature applications (above +250° F [+121° C] in float chamber), high temperature wire should be used between control and first junction box located in a cooler area. On non-hazardous applications, flexible conduit may be used between the control and the first junction box.

Route extra wire around enclosing tube under the baffle plate and connect them to the proper terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram in your switch bulletin for this information. Refer to chart below for switch instruction manual numbers. NOTE: For models with a Series HS or H1 switch with high tempera- ture lead wire, the leads are routed out through the conduit opening by the factory. A suitable conduit box should be pro- vided for the connection of the leads to the control wiring. 6. Dress wiring to ensure no interference or contact with actuation of switch, or replacement of switch housing cover. OBSERVE ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES AND PROPER WIRING PROCEDURES. Prevent moisture seepage into the enclosure by installing approved seal-drain fittings in the conduit run leading into the unit. Caution: In hazardous areas, do not power the unit until the conduit is sealed and the enclosure cover is screwed down securely. 7. Replace housing cover. 8. If control has been furnished with an explosion proof or moisture proof (gasketed) switch housing, it must be sealed at the conduit outlet with a suitable compound or non-hardening sealant to prevent entrance of air. 9. 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 furnished. 10. Check cover-to-base fit to be certain that gasketed joint is tight. A positive seal is necessary to prevent infiltration of moisture-laden air or corrosive gasses into switch housings.

8 46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction The standard differential of Series 3 float models with only one switch mechanism may be field-adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if a wider differential needs to be set to overcome switch chatter caused by the process. 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. Caution: Maximum differential adjustment is 1 inch (25 mm).
3.1 Low Level Controls
On low level controls the switch trips on the lower actuation 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 as shown in Figure 7on page 9. 1. Determine what change in differential is necessary. NOTE: To widen the differential one inch, the lower jam nuts must be set proportionately lower on the stem (i.e., in this example 1 inch). 2. Make sure power source is turned off. 3. NEMA 4X/7/9—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 6. 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. Refer to Figure 3on page 5. 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.

46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction 9 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 6on page 8. 7. Lift enclosing tube, switch, and base off float chamber. Jam nuts and attraction sleeve are now accessible. 8. Measure the distance “D” from the top edge of the upper jam nuts to the top of the float stem. Refer toFigure 8. 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 8. 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 8. NOTE: Using a new enclosing tube gasket when reassembling enclosing 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. Rotate switch housing to correct position and tighten set screw at base of switch housing. Refer toFigure 4on page 6. 15. Bring supply wires through conduit outlet. Follow steps 5 through 10 inWiring, Section 2.5on pages 6 and 7. 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.
3.2 High Level Controls
On high level controls the switch trips on the higher actu- ation point and resets on the lower actuation point. Caution: On high level controls, widening the differential requires raising the trip point a proportional amount. The reset point will remain the same. Slight play (gap) Must be allowed (0.03" typical) Position of bottom jam nuts (normal factory setting) Replace in same position Maximum gap setting (applies to models having a single switch mechanism with a single magnet actuator only) 1.00 (25 mm) Drop bottom jam nuts to increase gap setting (refer to above instructions) Figure 7 Figure 8 D
10 46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction T o widen the differential by raising the trip point, follow steps 1 through 16 inLow Level Controls, Section 3.1on pages 8 and 9. Caution: After increasing gap setting, be certain to check for proper operation of switch mechanism by raising and low- ering float assembly. Magnet must "snap" cleanly with additional float movement available after magnet snaps. Periodic inspections are necessary to keep your level con- trol 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 implement- ed 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 equip- ment for many years.
4.1 What To Do — Every 6 Months (minimum)
4.1.1 Switch Corrosion Inspection
For every 6 months in service, conduct the following maintenance and inspection checks. NOTE: Conduct this inspection every 3 months for applications where the switches are exposed to corrosive environments. Some environments may cause accelerated corrosion on the switch mechanism. T o identify switch corrosion prior to failure: 1. Disconnect power to the switch. 2. Remove switch housing cover to inspect switch mecha- nisms for visible signs of corrosion on terminals and wires. NOTE: When removing switch housing cover, secure housing base to prevent rotation of the base and enclosing tube. If cover proves difficult to remove, loosen housing base set screws before using a crossbar to free the cover. Loosening the set screws will prevent accidental rotation of the enclosing tube and possible leakage of process media. 3. 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. Such wear can cause false switch actuating levels. Adjust switch mechanism to compensate (if possible) or replace switch.
46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction 11 4. Controls may sometimes be exposed to excessive heat or moisture. Under such conditions, insulation on electrical wiring may become brittle, eventually breaking or peeling away. The resulting bare wires can cause short circuits. Check wiring carefully and replace at the first sign of brittle insulation. 5. Vibration may sometimes cause terminal screws to loosen. Check all terminal connections to be certain that screws are tight. 6. Conduct a continuity test for switch contacts using a low voltage DC circuit with an indicator. 7. Switches that are corroded or that failed the contact continuity test should be replaced. DO NOT operate your control with defective or maladjusted switch mechanisms (refer to bulletin on switch mechanisms for service instructions.) 8. Verify that switch housing cover and conduit seal are properly closed after each inspection of the switch mechanism(s). NOTE: In applications with presence of salt-laden air or corrosive vapors, contact Magnetrol for possible alternate switch mechanisms.
4.1.2 Switch and Wiring Inspection
The switch mechanism and supply wiring need to be in proper position to assure correct switch operation. 1. Remove switch housing cover to inspect the supply wires. 2. Check that the supply wires are attached to the terminal block and run under the baffle plate. Be certain that excess wire does not interfere with the actuation of the switch and that adequate clearance exists for replacement of switch housing cover. 3. Manually push on the magnet of the switch mechanism to confirm that the mechanism pivots freely. If it does not, the switch mechanism should be replaced. 4. Make sure the switch mechanism is seated all the way down on the baffle plate. Refer toFigure 11. Check that the mechanism clamping screw is tightened to assure that the mechanism is secured to the enclosing tube and in proper position on the baffle plate. Refer to Figure 12on page 12. The baffle plate should rest on the housing base casting hub.

12 46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction NOTE: HS series switches use a cylindrical spacer in place of the baffle plate. Refer toFigure 13. 5. If the above wiring conditions are not met the unit should be rewired. Proceed to step 6. 6. Disconnect power to the switch. 7. The baffle plate is notched at the front and rear for control wires to pass through. Control wires should enter through the conduit entry, pass under the baffle plate to the notch, then proceed through to the terminal block. Refer to Figure 14. 8. Control wires should not touch moving parts in any way. 9. The control wires should be attached to the terminal block so that they run from the terminal block, down through the notch, and under the baffle plate. NOTE: The control wires must not interfere with the switch mechanism. 10. Connect power supply to the control and conduct functional test of unit as described below. 11. Replace switch housing cover and place control into service.
4.1.3 Functional Test of Unit
This procedure will assure that the complete unit is functioning properly. This test should be conducted after switch and wiring inspections have been completed. 1. Adjust piping as required to bring control to a vertical position. Control must be mounted within 3° of vertical. Installation should be checked with an indicating level on top or sides of float chamber. 2. Check the chamber mounting within 3° of vertical after the boiler installation. 3. Raise level in the vessel sufficient to raise the float and trip the switch. Lower level in the vessel sufficient to lower float and reset the switch. Confirm switch trips and resets at expected levels (contact Magnetrol for specific information on trip points; have the serial number of the unit readily available).

4.2.3 Control Head Removal and Installation
Inspection of the interior of the chamber is possible on flanged cage models. T o do this, the control head must be removed to provide proper access to the chamber. This procedure will assure that the head assembly is removed and reinstalled properly. 1. Vessel should be at a safe temperature and pressure before opening the pressure boundary. 2. Power down all wiring to the unit. 3. Remove all wiring and conduit from the unit. 4. Remove flange bolts. 5. Prepare an area where the head assembly can be placed such that it rests on the flange in its normal orientation (two 2×4 boards placed across an open drum work well). Refer toFigure 19. 6. Carefully lift the head assembly by holding the sides of the flange. Maintain the head assembly as much as possible in the vertical position.
16 46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction NOTE: Care must be taken not to place side force on the float which could bend the stem. 7. With the unit resting in its temporary fixture in an upright position, it can now be inspected or repaired. Caution: Do not place the unit on its side — this could result in damage to the stem. 8. Conduct a check for float stem straightness as follows:
8.1 Remove the stem assembly including attraction sleeve
from the head assembly by removing the two screws holding the stop strap to the bottom of the flange. See Figure 20for assembly schematic.
8.2 Check the stem straightness by aligning the stem
against a straight edge. Stems that are bent in excess of1⁄8 inch over any 6 inch length should not be used in this condition. Replace any bent stems. See Replacement Parts, Section 5.3.
8.3 Ensure that the components in the stem assembly are
in good condition and surfaces are clear of potential obstructions. The stem assembly is reinstalled by securing the stop strap to the flange. Ensure that the attraction sleeve moves freely through the enclosing tube and that the stem assembly surfaces are smooth. NOTE: Care must be taken during the straightness check to ensure the attraction sleeve is not removed from the stem and the jam nuts settings are not changed. 9. In the container that the unit is set on, raise the liquid level sufficiently to lift the float and trip the switch mecha- nism. Inspect inside of chamber for any obstructions or scale buildup. If excessive buildup is present, the interval between inspections should be shortened. Remove old gas- ket such that mating flange surfaces are completely clean. Position new gasket on chamber flange before replacing the head assembly. NOTE: The float is restricted from moving laterally by the chamber, in the test configuration the float and stem can move further off center than possible under normal operation. Avoid excess movement in this lateral direction during the test. If switch trips, the unit may be reassembled. 10. Replace the assembly keeping it as vertical as possible. Carefully lower the assembly into the chamber making sure that the stem does not become bent during installa- tion. Refer to Figure 19on page 15. 11.

4.2.4 Functional Test of Unit
This procedure will assure that the complete unit is functioning properly. This test should be conducted after switch and wiring inspections have been completed. 1. Adjust piping as required to bring control to a vertical position. Control must be mounted within 3° of vertical. Installation should be checked with an indicating level on top or sides of float chamber. 2. Check the chamber mounting within 3° of vertical after the boiler installation. 3. Raise level in the vessel sufficient to raise the float and trip the switch. Lower level in the vessel sufficient to lower float and reset the switch. Confirm switch trips and resets at expected levels (contact Magnetrol for specific information on trip points; have the serial number of the unit readily available).
4.3 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 control's switch mechanism.

4.3.1 Check Switch Mechanism
- 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 continuity of switch with ohmmeter. 8. If switch mechanism is operating satisfactorily, proceed to check sensing unit. NOTE: Spare switches should be kept on hand at all times.
4.3.2 Check Sensing Unit
- Reconnect power supply and carefully, manually actuate switch mechanism (use a non-conductive tool on electrical 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 switch actua- tion 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 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 mecha- nism(s) and remove electrical conduit or operating medi- um line connections to switch housing. 5. Perform system shutdown to relieve pressure from float chamber of control and allow unit to cool. 6. Close shutoff valves (if equipped) to isolate control from vessel. Drain off liquid in chamber if necessary. Optional blow-down or drain valve Shutoff valve (if used) Conduit outlet Switch actuating level reference mark Optional liquid leg connection to vessel Shutoff valve (if used) Figure 21
46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction 19 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 enclosing tube hex nut, which is located immediately below housing base. Refer toFigure 6on page 8. 9. With switch housing assembly removed, inspect attraction sleeve(s) and inside of enclosing tube for excessive corrosion or solids buildup, which could restrict movement, prevent- ing 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. 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. SeeSection 5.3, Replacement Parts. If all components in the control are in operating condition, the trouble must be located external to the control. Repeat inspection of external conditions 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 communicating about your control, be certain to always specify the complete Model and Serial numbers.
4.4 What To Avoid
- Never leave switch housing cover removed from the con- trol 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 certain 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.

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.

5.2.5 Actuating Levels*, Steam Service Ratings and Specific Gravities
For float operated units, minimum specific gravities and actuating levels vary depending upon the material of construction code used with the unit. NOTE: The minimum specific gravities and actuating levels shown are for single switch units with 1" process connections only. Minimum specific gravities and levels will change for multistage units and levels will change for units with 11⁄2 or 2" process connections. Consult factory for these changes. *The level decals on the control identify the actuation levels for units with three switches at the corre- sponding minimum specific gravity of the three switch configuration.

Consult factory for two or three stage units. Models are limited to maximum temperature rating of selected switch mechanism. Models Z3F & K3F contain 7–17 ph stainless steel floats. Codes for a 16 inch center to center dimension are applicable to models G3F and Z3F with 600# flanges only. Codes for an 18-inch center to center dimension are applicable to K3F model only. Process temperature based on +100° F (+38° C) ambient. For models built to ASME B31.1 in applications over +750° F (+399°C), 100% radiographic examination is required. Consult factory for pricing. HS & H1 switches can be used with only materials of construction code 1 on all models with 600# or 900# ANSI rating.

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 replace- ment. 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, cred- it 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
