walkthroughs.
NOTE: If you suspect that a product is defective, contact the factory or the SOR
Representative in your area for a Return Material Authorization number (RMA). This
product should only be installed by trained and authorized personnel.

Installation

 Before beginning installation, inspect the level controller for damage that may have
occurred during shipment and remove all cardboard packing material.
 The 1600 Series Level Controllers normally ship unassembled as 3 separate parts:
- The level controller body assembly.
- The displacer with swivel.
- The displacer arm.
 Thoroughly clean the vessel connection surface to remove any accumulated debris.
Threaded and gasketed surfaces on the controller's process connection should also be
cleaned before installing the level controller.
 When installing the level controller, apply PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant for units
with NPT connections. For units with flanged connections, install with a suitable gasket
between the flange faces.
Design and
specifications are
subject to change
without notice.
