1.0 COMPLETE INSTALLATION

This section provides detailed procedures on properly installing the L505 Dip-Tape Visual Level Indicator.

CAUTION! IF THE EQUIPMENT IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, PROTECTION

PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.

1.1 UNPACKING

Unpack the instrument, carefully. Make sure that all components have been removed from the packing

material. Inspect all components for damage. Report any concealed damage to the carrier within 24 hours

of receiving. Compare the contents with the packing slip and report any discrepancies to the factory

immediately. Record the sales order number and/or serial number for future reference when ordering parts.

Before Proceeding to Installation, Complete the Following:

• Inspect all components for damage. Report any damage to the carrier within 24 hours of receiving.

• Record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts.

Serial Number

1.2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN

CAUTION! DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE L505 DIP-TAPE VISUAL LEVEL INDICATOR, THE FLOAT AREA

MUST BE KEPT FREE OF METALLIC PARTICLES THAT MIGHT BE ATTRACTED TO THE FLOAT’S INTERNAL MAGNET.

1.2.1 Site Preparation

Ensure that the length and mounting is sized correctly to accommodate the L505 Dip-Tape Visual Level Indicator.

1.2.2 Equipment and Tools

No special equipment or tools are required to install the L505 Dip-Tape Visual Level Indicator.

The Following Is Recommended:

• An Appropriately-Sized Wrench

1.3 MOUNTING

The L505 Dip-Tape Visual Level Indicator is available in a variety of threaded mounting sizes. It is

recommended that the unit is mounted vertically at the top of a tank or barrel.

Installing the L505 Threaded Mount:

1 Apply either Teon®tape or an appropriate thread sealant to the mounting threads to prevent galling.

2 Engage the thread by hand to avoid unnecessary damage.

3 Using a wrench, rotate the unit clockwise until the threads are tight within the mounting.

4 Ensure that the oat and stem are in a vertical orientation.

2.0 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Periodic inspections are necessary to maintain the proper functionality of the L505 Dip-Tape Visual Level

Indicator. A systematic program of preventative maintenance should be implemented at the time of installation.

If the following instructions are completed routinely, the indicator will provide continuous, reliable protection.

2.1 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

2.1.1 Inspect Unit Periodically

Verify that there are no dents or bends in the oat and stem. Should the unit become damaged, obtain a

replacement immediately.

2.1.2 Keep Unit Clean

Periodic cleanings of the oat and stem will ensure the continual, uninterrupted movement of the

mechanism. Always keep the areas around the unit clean and free of any potential interferences. Objects

and debris may cause systematic interruptions and a loss in equipment functionality.

2.2 WHAT TO AVOID

NEVER USE IN SYSTEMS CONTAINING IRON PARTICLES.

The magnet within the oat assembly can attract the particles and become jammed.

3.0 REFERENCE INFORMATION

This section illustrates an overview of the L505 Dip-Tape Visual Level Indicator, as

well as information on troubleshooting common problems, agency approval listings,

and detailed physical, functional and performance specications.

3.1 DESCRIPTION

The L505 is a simple and economical liquid level indicator designed for quick,

continuous readings in remote and mobile storage tanks. The unit requires no

electricity to operate and provides an accurate visual level indication within 1⁄16”.

Available construction materials include a brass/Buna-N combination and an all

stainless steel option in a variety of threaded mounting sizes. Measuring lengths

range from 6” to 6’ (15.24 cm to 1.8 m) in either customary or metric steel tapes.

3.2 THEORY OF OPERATION

The sliding steel tape magnetically interlocks with the level position of the oat.

Level measurement is obtained by sliding the tape from the stem tube and locating

the calibration mark where the interlock is felt. The oat and stem make contact

with the liquid, but the tape remains separate and clean. When the indicator is not

in use, it is safely sealed within the tube by a protective screw cap. L505

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

The L505 Dip-Tape Visual Level Indicator is designed and manufactured for trouble-free operation over

a wide range of operating conditions. Common problems are discussed in terms of their symptoms and

recommended corrective actions.

3.3.1 Unit Causes

SYMPTOM PROBLEM SOLUTION

THE OUTPUT IS INACCURATE. A COATING OR BUILD-UP IS PRESENT

ON THE FLOAT AND/OR STEM.

REMOVE THE INDICATOR FROM

SERVICE. CHECK THE FLOAT AND

STEM FOR A COATING OR BUILD-UP OF

DEBRIS. IF A COATING OR BUILD-UP IS

PRESENT, CLEAN THE STEM AND FLOAT

TO REMOVE THE CONTAMINANTS.

THE OUTPUT IS INACCURATE. LIQUID IS NOT ENTERING THE VESSEL. 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.

THE OUTPUT IS INACCURATE. THE TANK LEVEL IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH

TO HAVE THE FLOAT FUNCTION.

CHECK THE FLOAT TO MAKE SURE IT

IS BUOYANT IN THE LIQUID. THE TANK

OR VESSEL MUST HAVE AN ADEQUATE

LIQUID LEVEL.

THE FLOAT IS NOT BUOYANT. THE FLOAT IS COLLAPSED AND/OR

FILLED WITH LIQUID.

CHECK THE FLOAT FOR RUPTURES,

DEFORMATION, AND ANY LIQUID

TRAPPED INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY. IF

THE FLOAT IS FILLED WITH LIQUID

OR HAS COLLAPSED, IT MUST BE

REPLACED. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO

REPAIR THE FLOAT.

If you are still in doubt about the condition or performance of your indicator, consult the factory for further instructions.
