• Record the model and serial numbers for future reference when ordering parts. 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 pre- sent in most work environments.
Before You Begin 1.3.1 Site Preparation Each Kotron Model 822, 832 and 842 switch is built to match the specific physical specifications of the required installation. Make sure the probe connection is correct for the threaded or flanged mounting on the vessel or tank where the switch will be placed.
Mounting The Model 822, 832 or 842 switch can be mounted to a tank using a variety of process connections. Generally, either a threaded or flanged connection is used. For infor- mation about the sizes and types of connections available, see Probe Brochure 50-125.
1.4.1 Horizontal Mounting Alarm (narrow differential) applications only Horizontally mounted probes provide a high degree of sen- sitivity for use with non-conductive liquids as only approx- imately 0.5 inches (12 mm) of level change is required to completely cover (or uncover) the probe. Figure 1 Recommended Horizontal Mounting Horizontally mounted probes should be installed so that...
The end of a flexible probe MUST be kept taut by attaching the anchor end at the bottom of the vessel or by using a Magnetrol supplied probe weight. Caution: Do not discard the Mylar ®...
Page 9
To install a probe: 1. Attach the weight or anchor assembly to the end of the probe. Insert the probe through the vessel’s mounting connection, and feed the cable into the CLAMP vessel. Do not allow the probe to scrape against the SET SCREW connection threads.
Installing a Remote Unit NOTE: Units with remote electronics are provided with the Main Amplifier and a preamplifier. Probe connections are made to the preamplifier. Refer to Section 1.5, Probe Installation for details in installing the probe. 3871 1.6.1 Main Amplifier Remote amplifier assemblies are normally shipped from + (Red) –...
Wiring WARNING! Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be safe. 1.7.1 Relay Wiring The recommended connection of power and control circuits is 16 AWG or 18 AWG stranded wire. To improve external noise immunity, electrical snubbers are provided on the relay contacts.
5. Replace housing cover. 6. Apply power to the unit, and proceed with calibration of instrument as described in Section 2.0, Calibration beginning on page 10. NOTE: Be certain to route all power and control wires through conduit outlet only and run probe wire up through center hole in ampli- fier housing base.
The keys and their functions are shown below. Upon power up, the LED will display the following mes- sage: Magnetrol Int’l followed by a series of walk- ing M’s (multi-point) or S’s (single point), based on the calibration configuration selected. This is the normal RUN mode.
The microprocessor-based Sentinel offers all operator func- tions and setup procedures from the three tactile-feedback keys described above. Due to the number of user program- mable features included in the unit, the calibration flow chart is extensive. The flow chart is modular, however, it can be divided into five subsections or program paths which are connected to a home base, or normal operating mode, RUN (walking M or S).
Calibration—Single Point 2.3.1 Program Path 1 — Configuration The SING (single point) program is for single point alarm applications and allows for proper calibration without level change. The MULT (multi-point) program is for all pump (wide differential) control, multiple relay applications, and single point applications where an adjustable set point is needed.
2.3.2 Program Path 2 — Single Point The single point program is for single point, alarm only applications and allows for proper calibration without level change. The following procedures must be followed if SING (single point) has been selected in Program Path 1 CNFG (configuration).

3. If not, using the arrow keys, toggle DOWN between the INS (insulated) and the BARE (bare) probe selections. 4. When the appropriate selection is displayed, press to store the value and to display TDLO. NOTE: Choice of MDIA/COND and PRBE/BARE disarms the shorted probe diagnostic check.
Page 18
FALT STEP 7: (Fault) 1. FALT (fault) refers to the choice of the alarm relay to DNRG (de-energize) or IGNR (ignore) upon diagnosing a fault. FALT STEP 7 DNRG NOTE: The dedicated diagnostic Relay 1 will always de-energize IGNR when a fault is detected. When FALT is displayed, press to display DNRG.
Calibration—Multi Point 2.4.1 Program Path 1 — Configuration The SING (single point) program is for single point alarm applications and allows for proper calibration without level change. The MULT (multi-point) program is for all pump (wide differential) control, multiple relay applications, and single point applications where an adjustable set point is needed.
2.4.2 Program Path 3 — Probe Calibration NOTES: 1. The media level must be moved to accomplish this procedure. The PRLO and PRHI points may be entered in any order; they can easily be changed in the future when the process level is at a much higher or lower point.
The display will read PRLO once again. 6. Press the arrow key to leave the CAL mode and return to the RUN mode, MAGNETROL INTL M M M. Probe calibration is complete. Proceed to Section 2.4.3, Program Path 4 — Multi-Point.
5. Return to CNFG and repeat the above procedure now choose MULT from the MODE menu. Press . Unit reads MAGNETROL INTL M M M…. 6. All of the original data has now been cleared. 7. Begin Probe Calibration procedure again from the start of Program Path 3 (page 17).
2.4.3 Program Path 4 — Multi-Point The following procedure must be follower if MULT (multi-point) has been selected in Program Path 1 CNFG (configuration). Probe calibration, Program Path 2, must also be accomplished for the Multi-Point program to operate. These two procedures, Multi-Point and Probe DISP XXXX Calibration, can be done in any order.

RLY1 STEP 3: (Relay 1) 1. With displayed, press to display FALT. In RLY1 this setting, the RLY1 is used as a dedicated, diagnostic alarm. No other relay parameters (i.e., LVLO, TDHI) are offered. The relay will now de-energize when a diagnostic problem is encountered.
The Service program path is designed to aid the customer in troubleshooting the Sentinel; it should be accessed only with the assistance from Magnetrol factory personnel. Only the TEST mode section may be utilized without SERV factory assistance.

STEP 3: (Hexadecimal) Press . Display will show a hexadecimal number related to capacitance in 0.25 pF increments. to exit HEX and return to SRVC. Press Press again to display VERS. Using the arrow key, press two times to DOWN display AVG.
Advanced Calibration Use these procedures in conjunction with standard calibra- tion procedures already observed. 2.5.1 Calibration with No Level Change 1. Single Point: Accomplished in Section 2.3.2, Program Path 2 — Single Point procedure. 2.5.2 Tank Commissioning Initial calibration in water (conductive medium) with final use in a non-conducive medium.
