LMS100 Magnetic Level Gauge Switch
4.1 Standard Mounting
The following procedure outlines the steps necessary to install the switch:
1. Mount the switch to the chamber where you want the switch to trip.
The switch should be mounted 90° from the indicator assembly to
insure optimum magnetic coupling.
2.
The float must be cycled past the switch in both directions to insure
that the switch will operate properly when put into service.

Note:
1.
KM26 chambers that are furnished with factory in-
stalled insulation blankets may have switches mounted
via special rod mount brackets to a factory installed
switch mount rod that is external to the insulation. (See
section 4.2)
2.
When mounting/adjusting rod mounted LMS100,
ensure that the mounting “ears” of the switch are
flush against the float chamber to allow proper switch
function. Also, be sure to tighten all mounting bolt
hardware once switch is correctly mounted into posi-
tion (figure 4.2)
