6.1 Environmental Safety Skip 6.2 Product Installation EF By-Pass Level Indicator Chamber Installation: Firstly read and understand “Product Safety Installation Precautions” Before installation remove from the top and bottom flanges. Please ensure the flange hole position and diameter is in similar position with the flange of the tank extension pipe.

After welding, dismantle indicator for check-up, cleaning etc, then add gasket between flange before re-installing By-Pass Level Indicator. Before opening hole and welding, please measure all the every dimension of By-Pass indicator. Please ensure that top & bottom holes are identical in a straight line and perpendicular to ground.

If the float specific gravity is not changed together with liquid, calibration is required for minimum and maximum level. This will solve the problem of over indication or incomplete indication of flags. But this will not overcome the issue of flag indication ahead or lag behind real liquid level.
Firstly tight M6 screw and then fix Magnetostrictive sensor with M4 screws. Please ensure the metallic belt is in the right position and tightly holding the chamber, indicator and EG sensor.

Please ensure not to open the housing, which can affect the accuracy of the sensor. By-Pass Level Indicator (EF): By-Pass Indicator must be installed vertical with the vessel, and vertical deviation must be less than 3°...
7. Operation Instructions 7.1 EG Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter Wiring Connection Considerations During wiring connection, please check that power supply is disconnected. During peeling of wire, please ensure that there is no naked wire which can touch other wires resulting in signal short circuit. For safety of the sensor, please check there is no naked wire touching any other metallic object near the sensors.
Start 7.3 Operation Procedure Provide EG Power Supply Connect with RS-485 Start Calibration Program MLMAS.EXE Set Connection Parameters Move Float with Reference Point (Zero point) Read Reference Point (Zero point) Distance for float Whether reference point Compensate enter Float match (or 0 mm) Adjustment Set SPAN value (correspond to full scale current)
9. Functions 9.1 Quick Installation Introduction Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter (EG) calibration process and setting program Provide power supply and connect RS-485 wires Start calibration program MLMAS.exe Input setting Address, BaudRate and Port. Please refer to below picture (Default Address=1,BaudRate=9600,COM1) Click connect. Step 3.

10. Storage & Transportation Requirements 10.1 Environmental Requirements Skip 10.2 Transportation Requirements Package box must be carefully handled during transportation. High pressure or throwing can damage the product. Mishandling or collision can damage floats, glass indicator or deformation of brackets, may affect flags smooth movement and can also damage magnetic switches.
11. Maintenance 11.1 Regular Maintenance Regular inspection is required to check if magnetic belt is lose or fix indicator, transmitter, magnetic switch in case deviated from actual position. Regular inspection and fixing required for lose screw or flanges. During draining of sewage and cleaning process, also clean the floats for any sticky impurities.
12. Trouble Shooting Symptom Possible cause Action 1. Flag Display & Real 1. Check float S.G is lower than Float S.G must be lower than fluid medium, so level not consistent fluid? that it can operate normally. If not then replace float.
