46-624 Series 3 Liquid Level Switches ASME B31.1 Construction
NOTE: HS series switches use a cylindrical spacer in place of the
baffle plate. Refer to
Figure 13
.
5. If the above wiring conditions are not met the unit should
be rewired. Proceed to step 6.
6. Disconnect power to the switch.
7. The baffle plate is notched at the front and rear for control
wires to pass through. Control wires should enter through
the conduit entry, pass under the baffle plate to the notch,
then proceed through to the terminal block. Refer to
Figure 14
.
8. Control wires should not touch moving parts in any way.
9. The control wires should be attached to the terminal block
so that they run from the terminal block, down through
the notch, and under the baffle plate.
NOTE: The control wires must not interfere with the switch mechanism.
10. Connect power supply to the control and conduct
functional test of unit as described below.
11. Replace switch housing cover and place control into service.
4.1.3 Functional Test of Unit
This procedure will assure that the complete unit is
functioning properly. This test should be conducted after
switch and wiring inspections have been completed.
1. Adjust piping as required to bring control to a vertical
position. Control must be mounted within 3° of vertical.
Installation should be checked with an indicating level on
top or sides of float chamber.
2. Check the chamber mounting within 3° of vertical after
the boiler installation.
3. Raise level in the vessel sufficient to raise the float and
trip the switch. Lower level in the vessel sufficient to
lower float and reset the switch. Confirm switch trips and
resets at expected levels (contact MAGNETROL for spe-
cific information on trip points; have the serial number of
the unit readily available).
