Ensure that the length and inside diameter of the mounting nozzle are sized correctly for the TUFFY II model and the required actuation levels. Maximum nozzle lengths for each model are specified in Figure 1. 2. Ensure that the mounting nozzle or coupling is within 3° of horizontal. If mounting the TUFFY in an external cage, ensure that the cage is mounted within 3° of horizontal and that the top/bottom piping is within 3° of vertical in all directions. 3. Ensure that the area is free of metallic particles which might be attracted to the magnet holder/counterbalance and interfere with the function of the TUFFY II. 1.2.2 Equipment and Tools • • • • 4 No special equipment or tools are required to install the TUFFY Liquid Level Switch. The following items are recommended: Wrenches, flange gaskets and flange bolting appropriate for process connection(s). Pipe wrench Level Flat head screwdriver 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 1.3 Mounting The TUFFY II Liquid Level Switch is available with a 2" NPT mounting bushing, a variety of flange mountings and external cages for mounting outside of the vessel. Caution: This instrument is intended for use in Installation Category II, Pollution Degree 2. 1.3.1 Mounting an NPT Tuffy® II Conduit Entry (down) 1. Apply either Teflon® tape or appropriate lubricant to the mounting threads to prevent galling. 2. Engage the 2" NPT by hand to avoid damaging threads. 3. Using a pipe wrench, rotate the unit clockwise until threads are tight in mounting. Ensure that the conduit entry points down. See Figure 2. Figure 2 NPT Mounting Orientation Caution: The TUFFY II must be installed with the conduit connection pointing downward to ensure correct switching action. 1.3.2 Mounting a Flanged Tuffy® II 1. Have proper flange bolting and gasket on hand. 2. Cut and remove plastic shipping straps. 3. Carefully align TUFFY flange raised face (cladding) with the face of the vessel mounting flange. Slide the flange on the control to the vessel mounting flange and align bolt holes. Ensure that the conduit entry is pointing down. Conduit Entry (down) Figure 3 See Figure 3. Flanged Mounting Orientation 4. Ensure that the flange gasket is seated properly. Install flange bolts and nuts. 5. Tighten alternating flange bolts in a star pattern. Caution: The TUFFY II must be installed with the conduit connection pointing downward to ensure correct switching action.

Use pipe of sufficient size and strength to support the control. Provide a hanger or stand to help support the weight of the cage if necessary. 4. All piping should be straight and free of low spots or pockets. Lower liquid line should drain toward vessel and upper line toward control. 5. Shut-off valves are recommended for installation between the vessel and the cage assembly. 6. Once external cage is mounted, install TUFFY II into cage per Section 1.3.1 or Section 1.3.2 on page 5. 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 control is to equalize pressure across the device very slowly. 1.4 Wiring 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 the equipment. NOTE: For supply connections in installations with ambient temperature up to +158° F (+70° C), use wire with a minimum rating of +167° F (+75° C), as required by 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 minimum of 14 AWG wire for power and ground field wires. On high temperature applications above +250° F (+120° C) process temperature, a suitable heat resistant covered wire should be used between the TUFFY II and the first junction box located in a cooler area. On non-hazardous applications, flexible conduit may be used between TUFFY II and the first junction box. Conduit should have sufficient slack to permit removal of the switch assembly. 1. Unscrew and remove switch cover. 2. Pull in supply wires and connect to the proper terminals, Figure 5, 6, 7 & 8. Please note that some switches are reverse acting. Be sure to connect to proper terminals according to wiring diagrams. NOTE: Ensure that excess wire does not interfere with replacement of the switch cover or movement of the switch mechanism. NOTE: The ground screw (green head) is located to the right of the switch. Housing must be grounded via protective ground screw in base of housing. Hazardous locations require a conduit seal within 18" (457 mm) of the conduit connection, and the conduit must be screwed into the housing a minimum of 5 times. 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 7 NOTE: For ATEX Flameproof Installations, the cable entry device must be certified in type protection flameproof enclosure “d”, suitable for the conditions of use and currently installed. For ambient temperatures above +55° C, suitable heat resistant cables must be used. 3. Replace the switch cover. NOTE: Hand-tighten cover. Then using a persuader, tighten 1⁄4 turn more. This entire process should take approximately 61⁄2 turns. 4. To prevent the entrance of air, seal housing at the conduit outlet with a suitable pipe compound. 5. Connect power supply to TUFFY and test switch action by varying level in vessel. NOTE: If the switch mechanism fails to function properly, ensure that the conduit connection is vertically aligned and pointing down. 1.5 Adjustable Differential The Adjustable Differential TUFFY II, model T3C, may be set in the field for one of a variety of level differentials. By specific placement of the stops in the holes of the adjustment plate, the level differential may be changed. D C L B K A H E J F G Figure 9 Adjustment Plate Stop Position To determine the best placement of the stops for your application, refer to Figures 9 and 10. By subtracting the actuating level of the lower hole on the adjusting plate on falling level from the actuating level of the upper hole on the adjusting plate on rising level, the total level differential between the switch actuating and resetting can be calculated. Example 1: To determine the level differential of a unit with a 7.50" stem and stops positioned in holes L & B, subtract the actuating level of stop position B with a 7.50" stem from the actuating level of stop position L. 6.01" - 4.51" = 1.50" level differential Example 2: The level differential of a unit with a 12.25" stem and stops positioned in holes C & G is as follows: 7.20"- (-8.06") = 15.26" Stem Length 3.75 Rising 7.50 12.25 3.75 Falling 7.50 12.25 A +0.16 -0.12 -0.43 +1.51 +1.98 +2.61 Pin Position B C D E F G +1.84 +3.54 +4.87 -1.47 n/a n/a +2.49 +5.14 +7.20 -2.65 n/a n/a +3.36 +7.20 +10.20 -4.12 n/a n/a +3.14 n/a n/a -0.39 -1.87 -3.21 +4.51 n/a n/a -0.99 -3.29 -5.37 +6.28 n/a n/a -1.69 -5.04 -8.06 H J K L -1.65 n/a +1.52 +4.10 -2.94 n/a +1.99 +6.01 -4.54 n/a +2.62 +8.46 0.16 -2.44 +3.32 n/a -0.12 -4.16 +4.80 n/a -0.44 -6.31 +6.71 n/a Figure 10 Stop Position Actuation Levels (Inches (± 0.25) at minimum S.G.) 8 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch Once the desired stop positions are determined, remove the cotter pins holding the stops in the adjusting plate holes. Move each stop to the desired location on the adjusting plate and replace the cotter pins. Ensure that the float stem is positioned between the two stops. When determining stop positions, please note that some stop position combinations are impossible due to the diameter of the float stem. The following combinations are not possible: Stop positions A & B, A & E, A & H, A & K, B & C, B & K, C & D, C & K, C & L, D & L, E & F, E & H, F & H, F & J, F & G and G & J. 1.6 Interface Each interface unit is calibrated at the factory by precise positioning of the calibration weight on the float stem. Do not attempt to adjust calibration in the field. Calibration weight should not be moved. If unit does not function properly in interface service, consult factory. 2.0 Reference Information This section presents an overview of the operation of the TUFFY II Liquid Level Switches, including information on troubleshooting common problems, maintenance procedures, listings of agency approvals, lists of replacement and recommended spare parts, and detailed physical, functional, and performance specifications. 2.1 Description The TUFFY II Liquid Level Switches are float actuated devices designed for horizontal mounting in a tank or vessel through threaded or flanged pipe connections. The compact size allows for installation in small vessels while its many features provide a variety of application uses. The single switch mechanism is available in SPDT or DPDT forms on units designed for fixed or adjustable, narrow or wide differential, interface service and offset levels. This manual covers TUFFY II level switches that have electric switches. For TUFFY with a pneumatic switch, see bulletin 44-606. 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 9 2.2 Theory of Operation The TUFFY II achieves switching action through the use of a magnetic switch mechanism and a magnet attached to the float assembly. Separating the two magnets is a non-magnetic pressure barrier. The float along with the float magnet moves as the liquid level changes. The float and switch magnets repel each other causing movement of the switch magnet assembly, tripping the switch and making or breaking an electrical circuit. See Figure 11. Float Magnet Non-magnetic Float holder (pressure boundary) 2.3 Troubleshooting The TUFFY II Liquid Level Switch is designed and engineered for trouble-free operation. Common problems are discussed in terms of their symptoms and corrective actions as recommended. Switch Magnet Assembly Figure 11 2.3.1 External Causes Magnet/Switch Action Actuating Arm • • • • • 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 the time of installation or during routine service thereafter, check for the following potential external causes first: Blown fuses Tripped reset button(s) Open power switch Faulty equipment controlled by level switch Defective wiring to level switch 2.3.2 Tuffy® II Causes Magnet Figure 12 Switch Actuating Arm and Magnet Assembly 10 1. 2. 3. 4. If a thorough inspection of these possible conditions fails to locate the cause of the problem, proceed to a check of the TUFFY II switch mechanism. Disconnect power to the level switch. Remove switch housing cover. Disconnect power wiring from switch mechanism. Examine the switch actuating arm and magnet assembly for evidence of binding or wiring interference. See Figure 12. The switch and magnet assembly must move throughout its entire range of motion without interference. If there is any binding, the ENTIRE switch mechanism (switch and magnet assembly) must be replaced. 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 5. If the switch mechanism does move freely, use an electrical continuity checker to determine if the switch is electrically functional. Refer to Figures 5, 6, 7 & 8 on page 6 for the appropriate wiring diagram. If the switch operates properly when moved mechanically but not when electrically activated, the switch must be replaced. 6. If the switch functions properly both mechanically and electrically but does not activate when the float changes position, remove level switch from service. Check the float assembly for obstructions or accumulation of particles which may cause binding. If binding is present in the float assembly and cannot be cleared by normal cleaning procedures, the entire control must be replaced. 7. If the complete TUFFY II level switch operates properly when removed from service, check to ensure that liquid is entering the tank or vessel. A closed valve or clogged pipeline may prevent movement of the liquid in the vessel. 8. Check the float to make sure it is buoyant in the liquid (tank or vessel must have adequate level). 9. If the float is determined to be filled with liquid or is collapsed, the entire level switch must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the float. If all the components of the level switch are in operating condition, the trouble is located external to the level switch. Repeat inspection of external conditions as described in Section 2.3.1, External Causes. NOTE: When in doubt about the condition or performance of a TUFFY II control, consult the factory for further instructions. 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 11 2.4 Preventive Maintenance Periodic inspections are a necessary means to keep your level control in good working order. This control is a safety device that protects the valuable equipment it serves. A systematic program of preventive maintenance should be implemented when the control is placed into service. If the following instructions are observed, your control will provide reliable protection of your equipment for many years. 2.4.1 What to Do 1. Keep control clean. Be sure the switch housing cover is always in place. This cover is designed to keep dust and dirt from interfering with the switch mechanism operation. It also protects against damaging moisture and acts as a safety feature by keeping bare wires and terminals from being exposed. Should the housing cover become damaged or misplaced, obtain a replacement immediately. 2. Inspect switch mechanisms, terminals, and connections monthly. TUFFY II level switches may at times be exposed to excessive heat or moisture. Under such conditions insulation on electrical wires 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. Vibration may sometimes cause terminal screws to loosen. Check all terminal connections to ensure that screws are tight. Check wiring carefully and repair or replace if necessary. NOTE: It is recommended that spare switches, housing covers and O-rings be kept on hand at all times. 3. Inspect entire TUFFY II unit periodically. A periodic cleaning of the float and counterweight assembly will ensure continued free movement of the mechanism. 12 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 2.4.2 What to Avoid 1. NEVER leave the switch housing cover off of the control longer than is 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, ensure that it is removed before placing the control into service. 3. NEVER attempt to make adjustments to or replace switches without reading instructions carefully. When in doubt, consult the factory or your local representative. 4. NEVER use in systems containing iron particles. The magnet in the float assembly can attract the particles and become jammed. 5. NEVER put insulation over the switch housing. 2.4.3 Switch Mechanism Replacement 1. Have the proper replacement switch mechanism on hand. See Section 2.6.1 on page 14 for replacement parts. 2. Remove housing cover. 3. Remove the four screws in the corners of the switch mounting bracket and remove switch mechanism and magnet assembly. 4. Place new mechanism into the housing. NOTE: Looking into the switch housing with the conduit connection pointing downward, the correct orientation of the switch mechanism is with the green head ground screw on the right hand side of the enclosure. 5. Once it is properly placed, secure the mechanism into the housing by replacing the four screws in the corners of the mounting bracket. 6. By moving the level in the vessel or by moving the float by hand, ensure that the switch actuates properly. 7. Replace housing cover. 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 13 2.5 Agency Approvals AGENCY APPROVED MODEL PROTECTION METHOD AREA CLASSIFICATION FM T3X-XXXX-XXA T3X-XXXX-XXB Explosion Proof Class I, Div 1; Groups B, C, D Class II, Div 1; Groups E, F, G Class III, Type 4X IP66 CSA T3X-XXXX-XXC T3X-XXXX-XXD Explosion Proof Class I, Div 1; Groups B, C, D Class II, Div 1; Groups E, F, G Class III, Div 1; Type 4X ATEX T3X-XXXX-XX1 T3X-XXXX-XX2 T3X-XXXX-XX3 T3X-XXXX-XX4 Flame Proof Certificate ISSeP10ATEX032, applied standards EN60079-0:2009, EN60079-1:2007 and EN60079-26:2007 II 1/2 G Ex d II C T6 Ga/Gb IP66 T3X-XXXX-XXM T3X-XXXX-XXN T3X-XXXX-XXP T3X-XXXX-XXR Certificate ISSeP00ATEX010X applied standards EN50014:1999, EN50020:1994 and EN50284:1999 T3X-XXXX-XX1 T3X-XXXX-XX2 T3X-XXXX-XX3 T3X-XXXX-XX4 Certificate BKI13.0006 applied standards IEC60079-0:2011, IEC60079-1:2007, IEC60079-26:2006 IEC CE T3X-XXXX-XXX Intrinsically Safe ➀ Flame Proof Low Voltage Directives 2006/95/EC Per Horizontal Standard: EN 61010-1/1993 & Amendment No. II 1G EEx ia II C T6/T4 IP66 Exd IIC T6 Ga/Gb IP66 Installation Category II Pollution Degree 2 Special conditions for safe use: ➀ When the material is equipped with an aluminum enclosure, all precautions shall be taken to avoid all impacts or frictions which can result in the ignition of the potentially explosive atmosphere. 2.6 Parts 2.6.1 Replacement Parts Switch Mechanisms SPDT silver contacts DPDT silver contacts SPDT gold contacts DPDT gold contacts HS SPDT silver contacts HS SPDT gold contacts 31-5144-001 31-5146-001 31-5144-002 31-5146-002 31-5145-001 31-5145-002 Housing Cover FM/CSA XP Cast Aluminum FM/CSA XP Cast Iron ATEX XP Cast Aluminum ATEX XP Cast Iron ATEX IS Cast Aluminum ATEX IS Cast Iron 089-6609-001 089-6609-002 089-6609-003 089-6609-004 089-6609-005 089-6609-006 Cover O-ring 2.6.2 Item 1 14 12-2201-240 Recommended Spare Parts Description Part Number Switch Mechanism See replacement parts chart. 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 2.7 Specifications 2.7.1 Functional Output Type Switch closure, SPDT or DPDT Ratings Up to 10 amps @ 120 or 240 VAC, 50–60 Hz Up to 6 amps @ 24 VDC Up to 0.6 amps @ 120 VDC Contacts Silver, gold plated, hermetically sealed silver, hermetically sealed gold plated Housing Material Polymer coated cast aluminum or cast iron Cable entry 3 4 ⁄ " NPT Process Connections Materials Carbon Steel 316/316L stainless steel Hastelloy C 316/316L stainless steel clad carbon steel Hastelloy C clad carbon steel Configurations Tank 2" NPT, 3", 4", 5" & 6" ANSI Flange Chambered: 1" top-bottom NPT Wetted parts Float & Trim 316/316L stainless steel or Hastelloy C Process Conditions Process temperature range -40° to +750° F (-40° to +400° C) with ambient temperature within range specified below Maximum process pressure 2630 psig @ +100° F (181 bar @ +38° C) Liquid specific gravity 0.40 or greater Environmental Ambient temperature range 0° to +100° F (-18° to +38° C) For ambient temperature outside this range, derate maximum process temperature per charts on pages 16–18. 2.7.2 Performance Repeatability 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch ± 0.25" (± 6mm) 15 2.7.3 Switch Temperature Ratings Process Temp Range: Cast Iron Housing Cast Aluminum Housing HS with silver contacts -65° to +750° F (-54° to +399° C) -65° to +650° F (-54° to +343° C) HS with gold contacts -65° to +750° F (-54° to +399° C) -65° to +650° F (-54° to +343° C) Snap with silver contacts -40° to +750° F (-40° to +399° C) -40° to +650° F (-40° to +343° C) Snap with gold contacts -40° to +375° F (-40° to +190° C) -40° to +325° F (-40° to +162° C) 150 16 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 2.7.3 Switch Temperature Ratings (continued) 350 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 17 2.7.3 Switch Temperature Ratings (continued) 18 44-607 Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switch 2.7.4 Physical Dimensional Specifications – inches (mm) 8.29* (211) C 3.29 (84) 4.39 (112) D F G 2" NPT ¾" NPT 2" NPT Narrow Differential Unit (T31, T35) 8.23* (209) E 3.35 (85) 4.39 (112) D F G ¾" NPT Flanged Narrow Differential Unit (T31, T32, T33, T34, T35) 8.23* (209) E 3.35 (85) 4.39 (112) D F ¾" NPT G Interface Unit (T3B) * This dimension is specific for cast iron housing.

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: 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. 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. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Company Name Description of Material Serial Number Reason for Return 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. 705 Enterprise Street • Aurora, Illinois 60504-8149 • 630-969-4000 • Fax 630-969-9489 [email protected] • www.magnetrol.com Copyright © 2016 Magnetrol International, Incorporated.
