Page 4: Installation
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol’s electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity present in most work environments. -
Page 5: Preliminary Operational Check
Preliminary Operational Check After unpacking and before installation, perform the following operational check on the unit in a non-hazardous area. 1. Fill a suitable grounded container with water. 2. In a non-hazardous area, power the unit with proper voltage. 3. Dip the probe in the water. The relay should activate. 4. -
Page 6: Probe Length
Probe Length If the geometry of your application requires a probe shorter than 14" (356 mm), refer to the Probe Length vs. chart below. Dielectric Constant TOTAL PROBE LENGTH (Inches) A minimum probe length of 4" (102 mm) is permissible in a conductive liquid (dielectric of 24 or greater). -
Page 7: Vertical Mounting
1.6.2 Vertical Mounting As medium rises on the probe, unit will signal at a point determined by the calibration of the unit and the dielectric constant of the medium. In conductive media, the actua- tion point will be at the tip of the probe over a wide range of zero calibrations. -

NOTE: This unit is factory supplied with the jumper wire connecting LL and CM. Caution: In hazardous areas, do not power the unit until the conduit is sealed and enclosure cover is screwed down securely. 9. Installation is complete. Replace housing cover. 1.8.1 Operating Mode Selection Low Level (LL) means tank material below the... -
Page 9: Calibration
Calibration Caution: For Hazardous Locations – Extra precautions must be taken during instrument calibration. Before housing cover is removed, power MUST be turned off. 1. Turn on power to the instrument. 2. Remove housing cover. 3. Set point locations: Conductive media — The set point is located at the tip of the probe. -
