Dwyer Instruments L8-WP FLOTECT Manuel utilisateur

Model L8 Flotect®Liquid Level Switch features a leak proof

body and float constructed from tough, durable polyphenylene sul-

fide(PPS)whichhasexcellentchemicalresistance.Becausetheliq-

uid level snap switch is magnetically actuated, there is no direct

mechanical linkage to leak or fail, assuring longer life and decreased

maintenance costs. This inexpensive unit is ideal for liquid level

alarm, indication or control. Installation is quick and easy — simply

install in a horizontal position with the index arrow pointing down.

The L8 Flotect® Liquid Level Control is UL recognized as an indus-

trial motor controller per UL standard 508, suitable for mounting in

a protected environment. This lightweight switch can be used in nu-

merous chemical process, industrial systems and similar applica-

tions where process conditions are compatible with polyphenylene

sulfide, ceramic 8 and 316 stainless steel. This liquid level switch

provides accurate setpoint control of liquids with specific gravities

as low as 0.6. This compact and reliable control is designed to han-

dle temperatures up to 212°F (100°C) and pressures to 150 psig

(10 bar).

INSTALLATION

1. The Model L8 Level Switch is designed for use in clean, com-

patible process media free from scale, debris and other for-

eign material which could collect on the float and impede its

movement. Build up from such materials will prevent proper

operation. See wetted materials list in the specifications to

assure compatibility with process liquids.

2. Unpack switch and remove any packing material from the

switch and float. Due to variations in fittings and amount of

thread engagement, float must be checked for proper oper-

ation during installation.

3. Use pipe thread sealant tape or pipe thread sealant to seal

the 1˝ NPT mounting connection. Avoid excess sealant

which could interfere with float movement. Do not exceed 50

ft/lb (40n/m) torque on the switch housing. Damage can

result.

4. Install switch in a horizontal position with index arrow point-

ing down.

5. Wire in accordance with local electrical codes. Lead wire

color codes are as follows. Black - Common, Red - Normally

Closed, Blue - Normally Open. Normal is the contact condi-

tion when liquid level is below the actuation point. Closed

contacts open and open contacts close when liquid level lifts

the float to the actuation point.

6. Switch electrical components must be protected from mois-

ture at all times. If necessary, install a lightweight, waterproof

junction box over the 1/2˝ NPT threaded stem. Do not place

mechanical loading on the switch housing. Permanent dam-

age can occur. Use flexible Romex sheathing or equivalent.

MAINTENANCE

The Model L8 Liquid Level Switch is not field serviceable and

should be returned if repair is needed (field repair should not be

attempted and may void warranty). Be sure to include a brief

description of the problem plus any relevant application notes.

Contact customer service to receive a return goods authorization

number before shipping.
