In this case, the displacer 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. 1 1.2 Operating Cycle The weight of the displacer ➀ is supported by the spring. Rising liquid level imparts buoyancy forces on the displacer allowing the spring to compress. The attraction sleeve ➁ attached to the spring, moves upward into the field of a permanent magnet ➂. The movement of the magnet toward the sleeve causes the switch ➃ to actuate. A nonmagnetic barrier tube ➄ provides a static pressure boundary between the switch mechanism and the displacer assembly. As the liquid level falls, the displacer lowers, moving the attraction sleeve out of the magnetic field of the switch mechanism. This allows the switch to again change position and to break or make. See Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 4 3 2 Principle of Operation 5 2.0 Installation Caution: If equipment is used in a manner not specified by manufacturer, protection provided by equipment may be impaired 1 2.1 Figure 2 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 number for future reference when ordering parts. 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. 4 46-635 External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches 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 Conduit Outlet Figure 3 shows a typical piping installation of a displacer control to a pressure vessel. 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. Pressure Vessel HL Piping LL Shut-Off Valve 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 installation 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. Drain Valve Max. 12" Figure 3 Typical Piping Arrangement DO NOT INSULATE SWITCH MECHANISM HOUSING. On controls equipped with pneumatic switch assemblies, consult bulletin on mechanism furnished for air (or gas) piping instructions. 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- Switch Series Letter Description Bulletin No. B, C, D Dry Contact Switch 42-683 F, 8 Hermetically Sealed Snap Switch 42-799 HS Hermetically Sealed Snap Switch 42-694 J Bleed Type Pneumatic Switch 42-685 K Non-Bleed Type Pneumatic Switch 42-686 trol is to equalize pressure across the device slowly. 46-635 External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches 5 2.4 Mounting 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 three degrees of vertical in all directions. A three degree slant is noticeable by eye, but installation should be checked with a spirit level on top and/or sides of float chamber. Controls should be mounted as close to the vessel as possible. 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. 2.5 Screw Set Screw Wiring Caution: All displacer actuated 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. Screw Figure 4 Housing Set Screws Displacer actuated controls are shipped with the conduit entry of the switch housing placed 180° opposite the tank connections 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. 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.

Load Figure 5 Terminal Connections DPDT Switch Mechanism Series B, C, D, F and 8 Line NOTE: For supply connections in installations with ambient temperature up to +70° C, use wire with a minimum rating of +75° C as required by the process conditions. Installations with ambient tempertures up to +80° C require wire with a minimum rating of +85° C as required by the process conditions. Use a minimum of 14 AWG wire for power and ground field wires. 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. NOTE: Housing must be grounded via protective ground screw in base of housing. 6 46-635 External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches Internal Circuit (Left) Switch Close on low level 4 1 5 2 6 3 Load Internal Circuit (Right) Switch Load Common Close on low level Common Close on high level Line 5. The switch terminals are located next to the conduit outlet to facilitate wiring. Bring supply wires through conduit outlet. Route extra wire around enclosing tube under the baffle plate, and connect them to the proper terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram, Figure 5 or 6, or your switch bulletin for this information. 6. Dress wiring to ensure no interference or contact with 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. Close on high level Load Load Line Figure 6 Terminal Connections DPDT Switch Mechanism Series HS 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 switch housing, it must be sealed at the conduit outlet with a suitable compound or non-hardening sealant to prevent entrance of air. 9. Test 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 gasketed joint is tight. A positive seal is necessary to prevent infiltration of moisture laden air or corrosive gasses into switch housing. 3.0 Preventive Maintenance Periodic inspections are a necessary means to keep your level control in good working order. This control is a safety device to protect the valuable equipment it serves. Therefore, 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. 3.1 What to do 3.1.1 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. In addition, it protects 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. 46-635 External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches 7 3.1.2 Inspect switch mechanisms, terminals, and connections monthly 1. 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. See switch mechanism bulletin supplied with control should switch adjustment or replacement be necessary. 2. DO NOT operate your control with defective or maladjusted switch mechanisms (refer to bulletin on switch mechanisms furnished for service instructions.) 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. Check wiring carefully and replace at the first sign of brittle insulation. 4. Vibration may sometimes cause terminal screws to work loose. Check all terminal connections to be certain that screws are tight. 5. On units with pneumatic switches, air (or gas) lines subjected to vibration, may eventually crack or become loose at connections causing leakage. Check lines and connections carefully and repair or replace, if necessary. NOTE: As a matter of good practice, spare switches should be kept on hand at all times. 3.1.3 Inspect entire unit periodically Isolate control from vessel. Raise and lower liquid level to check for switch contact and reset. 3.2 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 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. 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. 8 46-635 External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches 4.0 Reference Information 4.1 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. a. Fuses may be blown. b. Reset button(s) may need resetting. c. Power switch may be open. d. Controlled equipment may be faulty. e. 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. 4.1.1 Check switch mechanism 1. Pull disconnect 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 carefully 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 three degrees of vertical. Use spirit level on side of enclosing tube in two places, 90° apart. Refer to Figure 3 on page 5. 7. Check microswitch continuity with ohmmeter. If switch is damaged, replace it immediately 8. If switch mechanism is operating satisfactorily, proceed to check sensing unit. 46-635 External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches 9 4.1.2 Check sensing unit 1. Check to be certain liquid is entering float chamber. A valve may be closed or piping plugged. 2. With liquid in chamber, proceed to check level sensing action by removing switch housing assembly and enclosing tube. Caution: Unit must be normalized to atmospheric pressure before removing enclosing tube. 3. Inspect attraction sleeve and inside of enclosing tube for excessive corrosion or solids buildup which could restrict movement, preventing sleeve from reaching field of magnet. 4. Never change the settings of the jam nuts which position the attraction sleeve. 5. If control has a flanged cage, remove parting flange. Check spring and displacer assembly for freedom of movement. Check for collapsed or liquid filled displacer. If displacer is determined to be filled or collapsed, contact the factory.

Reconnect power supply and carefully actuate switch mechanism manually (using a non-conductive tool) 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. If all components in the control are in operating condition, the trouble must be (and should 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. 10 46-635 External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches 4.2 Agency Approvals Agency Approved Model Area Classification FM All with an electric switch mechanism and a housing listed as TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div 1, Groups C & D Class II, Div 1, Groups E, F & G All with an electric switch mechanism and a housing listed as TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div 1, Group B Class I, Div 1, Groups B, C & D Class II, Div 1, Groups E, F & G All with a Series HS, F, 8 or 9 electric switch mechanism and a housing listed as CSA TYPE 4X Class I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C & D All with an electric switch mechanism and a housing listed as TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div 1, Groups C & D Class II, Div 1, Groups E, F & G All with an electric switch mechanism and a housing listed as TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div 1, Group B Class I, Div 1, Groups B, C & D Class II, Div 1, Groups E, F & G All with an electric switch mechanism and an ATEX housing ATEX II 2 G EEx d IIC T6 94/9/EC IEC Ex Ex d IIC T6 IP 66 Low Voltage Directives 2006/95/EC Per Harmonized Standard: EN 61010-1/1993 & Amendment No. 1 Installation Category II Pollution Degree 2 CSA ATEX / IEC Ex ➀ CE ➀ IEC Installation Instructions: The cable entry and closing devices shall be Ex d certified suitable for the conditions of use and correctly installed.
