Table 1. Specifications
Available Configurations
Controller: Snap‐acting or throttling
Sensor: Displacer‐type liquid level sensor for
mounting to side of tank. Displacer travel is
transmitted to controller by pivotal movement of
displacer rod
Input Signal
Type: Liquid level or liquid‐to‐liquid interface
Level Change Required for Full Change in Output
Signal in 1.0 Specific Gravity Liquid, with 1.4 Bar (20
Psig) Supply Pressure, Direct Action, and Standard 48

Minimum Specific Gravity
(2)
Throttling and On/Off Controllers:
Minimum specific
gravity, or specific gravity differential for interface
applications, is 0.1 (see footnote 3)
Snap‐Acting Controllers: Minimum specific gravity, or

Ranges:
Throttling: J
0.2 to 1.0 bar (3 to 15 psig) or
J
0.4 to
2.0 bar (6 to 30 psig)
On/Off:
0 (off) or full supply pressure (on)
Action: Field‐reversible between direct (increasing
level increases output signal) and reverse (increasing
level decreases output signal)
Supply Pressure Requirements
Throttling and On/Off Controller
Throttling:
1.4 bar for 0.2 to 1.0 bar output signal (20
psig for 3 to 15 psig output signal) and 2.4 bar for 0.4
to 2.0 bar output signal (35 psig for 6 to 30 psig
output signal)
On/Off:
Any desired pressure between 1.4 and 3.4 bar
(20 and 50 psig).
Snap‐Acting Controller: Any desired pressure
between 1.4 and 5.2 bar (20 and 50 psig) direct, and
1.4 bar and 2.4 bar (20 and 35 psig) reverse
Do not use supply pressure below 1.4 bar (20 psig)

Displacer Material and Maximum Sensor Working
Pressure
(8)
PVC Displacer: Consistent with CL1500 pressure
temperature ratings per ASME B16.34 up to
maximum pressure of 258 bar (3750 psig)
For PED (97/23/EC) maximum pressure limited to 200
bar (2900 psig)
S31603 SST Displacer: CL600 pressure temperature
ratings per ASME B16.34 up to maximum pressure of
99.3 bar (1440 psig)
Note: For slip‐on flange connection, maximum sensor
working pressure must be consistent with the flange
ratings
