If they are not expressly listed in the installation and operating instructions, changes to an IGEMA device are carried out at the risk of the user.
2 Mounting and operating instructions 3. Important information 3.1 Intended use Magnetic level gauge NA7-45 / NA7-130: The magnetic level gauge is a liquid level gauge which can be used for steam boilers and containers. The indication is made via a float operated magnetic system.
5. Technical data 5.1 Versions NA7 (version flange/cap) > 2,6m > 6m Possible vent connections Vent cap Flange Flange with vent flange Possible drain connections Flange with drain flange Flange with drain valve...
• To indicate a range > 2,6 m it is necessary to use 2 or more superposed indicating ledges. • For level gauges longer than 6 m, the unit will be delivered in divided version with intermediate flanges. 5.2 Type of connection Standard : flanges according to DIN or ASME On request...
7.2 Version with welding end • Observe installation position! • Remove protection caps from connection flanges. Caps only serve as transport protection. • Assembly only by using welding process 111 (manual arc welding) and 141 (tungsten inert gas welding). 7.3 Heat treatment of weld seams Supplementary temper tests of weld seams are not required.
7.7 Assembly of additional equipment (for retrofitting, otherwise already pre-installed) • Remove indicating ledge before assembly of additional equipment • Magnetic switches and/or primary element are fixed without obscuring the indication by means of integrated pipe saddle Assembly of magnetic switches or sensor may only be carried out in a maximum angle of 90°...
8.1 Magnetic switch Contact position and wiring diagram: Float above the switch Float below the switch We recommend to use customary RC combinations or a suitable Varistor (e.g. 0,1 μF/100 Ω) as inductive consumer to extend the contact life of the magnetic switch. Resistance value (Ω) and power rating (W) depend on customer indications.
9.3 Commissioning of unit if boiler is already in operating condition • Close drain valve (A) / plug (6) (see sketch chapter 6). • Open slowly shutoff valve W and then shutoff valve (D) • Check position of magnetic switch (2) in operating condition and adjust the height if necessary.
If this cleaning was not sufficient, dismount bottom/cover flange (2.3) and remove float (2.1). Plant must be pressureless for disassembly works! Wait until unit has cooled! Danger • Close shutoff valves (W+D). • Open drain valve (A) / plug (6); unit is drained. •...

11.3 Commissioning Rust, sand or similar impurities inside of the medium or during first flushing can cause leakage if they remain in the area of the seat. Purging of valve: • Fully open valve for purging. The pre-pressed gland packing can lose its denseness due to a longer storage (see chapter 11.4) •...
Replacement of complete upper part: • For dismounting of component parts see “Replacement of packing” • Unscrew seat (3) with hexagon socket wrench AF11. • Grease seat thread, screw in and tighten with tightening torque M = 55 Nm. • Replace complete upper part.
The magnetic switches are wear parts and are not included in the warranty. The sealings/gland packing installed in the valves are not included in the warranty. This high-quality IGEMA product was designed, manufactured and tested with the application of the QM System guidelines in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
