Page 7: Product Description
III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FUNCTION The LP II Series is an electronic, vibratory level control designed for use in powders and granular solids. A vibrating rod is ® used to sense the presence of material. The rod contains two piezoelectric crystal assemblies. The Piezo crystals convert electrical signals to mechanical movement, and vice versa.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT. REMOVE POWER FROM THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING, OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. WARNING: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SAFE OPERATION IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, THE INTEGRITY OF THE ALUMINUM CASTING AND THE ENVIRONEMENTAL SEALS MUST BE MAINTAINED. THE USER/INSTALLER MUST AVOID INSTALLATIONS WHERE AGGRESSIVE SUBSTANCES MAY BE PRESENT AND COULD AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE MATERIALS.
Page 10 CAUTION: THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DOWNWARD FORCE ON THE ROD IS 700 IN. LBS. CAUTION: PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION REQUIRES THE UNIT TO BE SECURELY MOUNTED TO THE VESSEL AND WRENCH TIGHTENED. THE COVER MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED WHEN POWER IS SUPPLIED.

Page 18: Set-Up
SET-UP WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE PRESENT. REMOVE POWER FROM THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING, OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF IGNITION IN HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES, DISCONNECT THE EQUIPMENT FROM SUPPLY CIRCUIT BEFORE OPENING. KEEP ASSEMBLY TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN IN OPERATION.
Page 19 FAIL-SAFE SELECTION The LP II is factory set for high level fail-safe operation. The Fail-Safe is controlled by SW1, position 1 on Standard units; SW5, position 1 for Advanced units. Refer to Figure 13 to determine the Fail-Safe mode that suits your application.
Page 20 TIME DELAY SETTINGS - STANDARD MODEL This setting will delay the time between when the LP II senses material and the main relay changes state. The delay is only in this direction, regardless of fail-safe setting. There is no added delay when the material leaves the rod. Duration of the delay is determined by SW1 positions 2, and 3 as described in the table below.
Page 21 SENSITIVITY SETTINGS - STANDARD MODEL There are two (2) different sensitivity ranges on the LP II that can be selected using SW1 Position 4. The unit is factory set for the lowest sensitivity. The table below is for illustration purposes, of a vertically mounted unit only, and results will vary depending on material properties and conditions.

VII. MAINTENANCE WARNING: TO AVOID IGNITION HAZARD DUE TO ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, CLEAN ONLY WITH A DAMP CLOTH. WARNING: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SAFE OPERATION IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, THE INTEGRITY OF THE ALUMINUM CASTING AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL SEALS MUST BE MAINTAINED. THE USER/INSTALLER MUST AVOID INSTALLATIONS WHERE AGGRESSIVE SUBSTANCES MAY BE PRESENT AND COULD AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THSE MATERIALS.
