The T21 Point Level Switch is a state-of-the-art in liquid level and interface measurement
and control. Level detection is accomplished by using a high-resolution thermal differential
technique. The sensor wetted parts are of durable 316L series stainless steel, all-welded
construction and contain no moving parts. The switch is easy to install and adjustable
providing reliable, low-maintenance performance in the most demanding applications.

    Differential Switch General Instructions The T21 Point Level Switch is a state-of-the-art in liquid level and interface measurement and control. Level detection is accomplished by using a high-resolution thermal differential technique. The sensor wetted parts are of durable 316L series stainless steel, all-welded construction and contain no moving parts.

    Mechanical Installation The T21 has a 3/4-inch MNPT mount (standard), designed for easy installation through a threaded port. Conduit is recommended for all wiring to the switch. Due to the pipe thread mounting, it may be necessary to make a trial fit, add or remove teflon tape or other pipe thread sealant and reinstall to achieve a satisfactory seal with the sensor properly oriented.

    Remove the instrument enclosure lid by turning it counterclockwise. Apply power to the T21. Allow 5 minutes for the T21 to warm up. Verify J1 jumper is in the level position (Factory Default). Ensure that the tank liquid level is below the probe sensor tips and the tips are dry.

    Remove instrument enclosure lid by turning it counterclockwise. Apply power to the T21. Allow 5-minute warm-up. Verify J1 jumper is in low flow setting if air/gas flow rate is approximately 20 f/s and below (factory default). For liquid or high air/gas flow rates, the jumper should be in high flow/level position.

    Lime deposits can be safely removed by soaking in 20% hydrochloric acid. Warming to 150°F is permissible to speed this process. For unusual cleaning problems, contact the SOR factory to determine the exact materials of construction and chemical compatibility before using strong acids or unusual cleansers.
  • Page 12 • If all else fails, check the integrity of the sensor and boards (for step-by-step instructions see the Thermal Differential Point Switch_1024 General Instruction Manual on sorinc.com) Power and Continuity Verification Turn the power off to the T21 Switch. Remove the instrument enclosure cover. Loosen the PC board capture screws. (See , page 4) Unplug the PC board from the instrument enclosure by pulling straight out on the transformer.
