Installation
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the contents of the shipping carton and
check each item against the packing list before destroying
any packing materials. If there is any shortage or damage,
report it to the factory at 1 + 215-674-1234.
2.2 Mounting the Level Control
The Z-tron IV Level Control is available with the
electronic unit and sensing element as a single integral
assembly. Extended sensing element lengths and special
mountings can be provided to fit specific applications.
• The Z-tron IV Level Control is designed for industrial
applications, but it should be mounted in a location as
free as possible from vibration, corrosive atmospheres,
or any possibility of mechanical damage.
• For convenience when adjusting, place the electronic
unit in a reasonably accessible location. Ambient
temperature should be between -40°F and 145°F (-40°C
to 63°C).
• It may be mounted either vertically or horizontally.
Conduit runs must avoid moisture infiltration into the
housing and conduit. See Figures 2-1.
Note:
The 700-0001-018 and 700-0001-022 are designed
for vertical mounting only
• Avoid mounting closer than 1 inch to any tank
structure. Material bridging from structure to sensing
element can cause false alarms. Close proximity to tank
structure also increases the sensing element’s standing
capacitance.
• When installing flange-mounted sensing elements, keep
mating surfaces and bolts free of paint and corrosion to
ensure proper electrical contact with vessel. Avoid using
excessive amounts of TFE tape when installing threaded
sensing elements.
•
When installing sensing element with threaded connection,
place the wrench on th eflats closest to the mounthing threads,
see fig 2.2. For sensing elements without wrench flats a pipe
wrench can be used. Do not turn the housing or conduit.
•
The recommended minimum Cote Shield length is to extend
2” into the vessel past the anticipated wall build-up. Consult
factory before mounting the instrument with shorter Cote
Shield lengths
• Protect the insulation on the sensing element against
cuts and scrapes during installation.
Figure 2-3 provides typical mounting dimensions.
