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.

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 mechanism of a unit with three switches at minimum specific
gravity. To find the actuation levels for a unit with one
switch at different minimum specific gravities, refer to the
charts in Actuation Levels, Steam Service Ratings and Specific
Gravities, Section 5.2.5, on page 27.

Typical Piping Arrangement
Mounting
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
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 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 minimum 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
connection may cause the enclosing tube to loosen,
resulting in the possible leakage of the process liquid
or vapor.

Preventive Maintenance
Periodic inspections are necessary to keep your level control 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 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.

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. Switch mechanism wires move as the switch pivots; control
wires must not touch or interfere with mechanism wires.
Refer to Figures 9 and 10 on page 11 for wiring with two
different terminal block configurations.
9. Control wires should not touch moving parts in any way.
10. 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 wires.

NOTE: Care must be taken not to place side force on the float which
could bend the stem.
9. In the container that the unit is set on, raise the liquid
level sufficiently to lift the float and trip the switch mechanism. Inspect inside of chamber for any obstructions or
scale buildup. If excessive buildup is present, the interval
between inspections should be shortened. Remove old gasket 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.

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.

2. If controlled equipment responds to manual switch actuation 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 mechanism(s) and remove electrical conduit or operating medium 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.
What To Avoid
1. Never leave switch housing cover removed from 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.

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 112 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 corresponding minimum specific gravity of the three switch configuration.
