Installation Caution: If equipment is used in a manner not specified by manu- facturer, protection provided by equipment may be impaired. Unpacking Unpack the instrument carefully. Inspect all units for damage. Report any concealed damage to carrier with- in 24 hours. Check the contents of the packing slip and purchase order.
Mounting Caution: This instrument is intended for use in Installation Category II, Pollution Degree 2. Adjust piping as required to bring control to a vertical position. Controls must be mounted within 3° of vertical in all directions. A three degree slant is noticeable by eye, but installation should be checked with a spirit level on top and/or sides of float chamber.

3. Tighten set screw(s) at base of switch housing. 4. Unscrew and remove switch housing cover. The threads have been lubricated to facilitate removal. NOTE: For supply connections, use wire with a minimum rating of +167 °F (+75 °C) as required by process conditions. Use a minimum of 14 AWG wire for power and ground field wires.
Reference Information Description B73 and Series 75 level switches are float operated units suitable for use on clean liquid applications for level alarm, pump control and safety shutdown func- tions. Series 75 units are available with tandem floats for applications where widely spaced high and low switching are required by a single control.
Switch Differential Adjustment The standard differential of Series 75 float models with one switch may be field adjusted. Adjustment may be necessary if a wider differential needs to be set to over- come switch chatter caused by the process. NOTE: This procedure may be applied to single switch models only. The differential, or the amount of level travel between switch-on and switch-off, may be adjusted by reposi- tioning the lower jam nuts on the float stem.

5b. Close shut-off valves (if so equipped) to isolate control from tank. Drain off liquid in float chamber. 5c. On installations without shut-off valves, relieve pressure from the tank. Drain liquid in tank to a level below the connections of the float chamber. NOTE: Level control, connections and pipe lines need not be removed from the tank.
2.4.2 High Level Controls On high level controls, the switch trips on the higher actuation point and resets on the lower actuation point. Caution: On high level controls, widening the differential requires raising the trip point a proportional amount. The reset point will remain the same.
2.5.2 Differential Adjustment Caution: No differential adjustment should be made on tandem float models in the field. Switch actuation levels have been set at the factory to meet customer specifications. Variations in actual conditions, from design conditions, usually require special control modifications. Troubleshooting Usually the first indication of improper operation is fail- ure of the controlled equipment to function, i.e., pump...
Check Sensing Unit 1. Reconnect power supply. Being careful to avoid electri- cal shock, manually actuate switch mechanism (use a non-conductive tool on electrical switch mechanisms) to determine whether controlled equipment will operate. Caution: With electrical power on, care should be taken to avoid contact with switch leads and connections at terminal block.

12. Check float to be certain it is buoyant in the liquid (float chamber or vessel must have adequate liquid level). If float is determined to be filled with liquid, or it is col- lapsed, it must be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair a float.
Preventive Maintenance Periodic inspections are a necessary means to keep your level control in good working order. This control is a safe- ty device to protect the valuable equipment it serves. A systematic program of preventive maintenance must be implemented when the control is placed into service. If the following is observed, your control will provide reliable protection of your capital equipment for many years.
4.1.3 Proof Test Procedure (To be performed annually at a minimum) 1. Bypass the logic controller or take other action to avoid a false trip. 2. Perform a detailed inspection of the unit inside and out for physical damage that may impact the structural integrity, and for evidence of environmental or process leaks.
What To Avoid Caution: Operation of all buoyancy type level devices should be done in such a way as to minimize the action of dynamic forces on the float or displacer sensing element. Good practice for reducing the likelihood of damage to the control is to equalize pressure across the device very slowly.
