High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock. Make sure the main power to the Babbitt LS7000 level switch is off and the lines to any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the instrument.
1.1 General Description The LS7000 is a point level switch that detects the presence or absence of material in a bin, silo, tank or other container. The basic unit is made up of a solid stainless-steel probe attached to an explosion proof housing.
MUST BE MADE AFTER the unit is installed where it will be used. 3.3 Physical Installation 1) The LS7000 is installed into the vessel wall using a 1” NPT process connection. This can be either a threaded coupling or a tapped entry such as a flange.
On gravity filled vessels, take into consideration the angle of repose formed by the product. d) On dry product that flows like water (starch), when using the LS7000 to stop the flow by means of a butterfly valve or knifegate, make sure the probe is long enough to allow time to close these slow moving valves.
5 AMP RELAY CONTACTS SUPPLY VOLTAGE *NOTE: EACH LS7000 POWER SUPPLY IS INTENDED FOR ONLY ONE SUPPLY VOLTAGE. THIS VOLTAGE IS PRINTED ON THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD. FOR 115 VAC OR 230 VAC UNITS, HOOK UP THE HOT LEAD TO L1 AND THE NEUTRAL TO L2, WITH APPROPRIATE GROUND.
Reference Manual 2021 4. CALIBRATION PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE BEFORE CALIBRATING THE LS7000. 4.1 Time Delay The time delay is adjustable between 1/8 second to 2 hours. If no time delay is required, turn the time adjustment pot completely CCW and set S1 down, S2 up. The potentiometer has 20 turns and freewheels at the end of its travel without damage.
4.4 Sensitivity Calibration The LS7000 should be calibrated when no material is touching the probe, when the unit is installed where it will be used. 1. Observe the Red LED. If it is on, go to Step 3 2.
No routine maintenance is required other than keeping the interior of the unit clean and free of dirt, dust and other contaminants. The LS7000 consists of two main sub-assemblies. These are the enclosure with the probe assembly and the power supply board. The following troubleshooting guide will assist in determining how to correct most of the problems which may occur in the field.
