Caution: If equipment is used in a manner not specified by manu-
facturer, protection provided by equipment may be
impaired.

1.1 Unpacking

Unpack the instrument carefully. Inspect all units for

damage. Report any concealed damage to carrier within
24 hours. Check the contents against the packing slip and
purchase order. Check and record the serial number for
future reference when ordering parts.

Caution: Do not discard the shipping container until all parts are
accounted for.

1.2 Critical Alarm Function

It is recommended that for critical alarm functions, an

additional level switch be installed as a high–high or low–
low level alarm for maximum protection.

Caution: This instrument is intended for use in Installation

Category II, Pollution Degree 2 locations.
Adjust piping as required to bring control to a vertical
position. Magnetrol® 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.
Caution: Never insulate the switch housing of the level control.
Installation and maintenance of tandem float models are
accomplished in much the same manner as described for
standard models. Additional consideration must be given
to the piping arrangement to allow for alignment of the
two switch actuating level marks on the float chamber
with the desired levels in the vessel.
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 con-
trol is to equalize pressure across the device slowly.

1.5 Wiring

Caution: All Flanged Float Cage units are shipped from the factory
with the enclosing tube tightened and the switch housing
set screw locked to the enclosing tube. Failure to loosen
the set screw prior to repositioning the supply and output
connections may cause the enclosing tube to loosen,
resulting in possible leakage of the process liquid or vapor.
Flanged float cage controls are shipped with the conduit
entry of the switch housing placed 180° opposite the tank
connections to simplify most installations. If this configu-
ration is appropriate to the installation, proceed to Step 4
to begin wiring the unit. If another configuration is
desired, the switch housing can be easily rotated by first
following Steps 1, 2, and 3.
NOTE: A switch or circuit breaker shall be installed in close proximity
to equipment and within easy reach of operator. It shall be
marked as the disconnecting device for equipment.

 NOTE: Housing must be grounded via protective ground screw in the
base of the housing.

NOTE: On high temperature applications (above +250 °F [+121 °C] in

float chamber), high temperature wire should be used
between control and first junction box located in a cooler area.
On non-hazardous applications, flexible conduit may be used
between the control and the first junction box.

 2.0 Reference Information

2.1 Description

Flanged External Cage liquid level switches are completely

self-contained units designed for side mounting to a vessel
or tank with threaded or flanged pipe connections.

2.2 Theory of Operation

The design of float-operated level switches is based upon

the principle that a magnetic field will not be affected
by non-magnetic materials such as 316 stainless steel
The float moves a magnetic attraction sleeve within a
non-magnetic enclosing tube and actuates a magnetic
switch mechanism. The enclosing tube provides a pressure
seal to the chamber and therefore to the process.

Pivot
Enclosing tube 2.3 Operating Cycle
(non-magnetic)
Return
Spring Magnet
Sleeve (magnetic) As the liquid level rises in the chamber, the float moves the
magnetic attraction sleeve up within the enclosing tube
Float and into the field of the switch mechanism magnet. As a
result, the magnet is drawn in tightly to the enclosing
Normal tube, causing the switch to trip making or breaking an
operating level electrical circuit. Refer to Figure 4.
As the liquid level falls, the float drops and moves the
attraction sleeve out of the magnetic field, releasing the
Figure 4
switch mechanism magnet. The tension spring ensures the
return of the switch in a snap action. Refer to Figure 5.
Tandem float units incorporate two floats which operate
independently. They are arranged so that the lower float
actuates the upper switch mechanism while the upper float
actuates the lower switch mechanism. The upper float is
attached to the lower attraction sleeve by means of a hol-

The standard differential of Flanged Cage float models

with one switch may be field adjusted. Adjustment may be
Figure 5 necessary if a wider differential needs to be set to overcome
switch chatter caused by the process.

2.4.1 Low level controls

On low level controls the switch trips on the lower actua-
tion point and resets on the higher actuation point.

properly, consult the factory.

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: In high level controls, widening the differential requires
raising the trip point a proportional amount. The reset
point will remain the same.

To widen the differential by raising the trip point, follow

steps 1 through 16 in Low level controls, Section 2.4.1.

 3.0 Troubleshooting

Usually the first indication of improper operation is failure

of the controlled equipment to function, i.e., pump will
not start (or stop); signal lamps fail to light, etc. When
these symptoms occur, whether at time of installation or
during routine service thereafter, check the following
potential external causes first.
✔ Fuses may be blown.
✔ Reset button(s) may need resetting.
✔ Power switch may be open.
✔ Controlled equipment may be faulty.
✔ Wiring leading to control may be defective.

If a thorough inspection of these possible conditions fails

to locate the trouble, proceed next to a check of the
switch mechanism.

3.1 Check Switch Mechanism

1. Pull switch or otherwise disconnect power to the

control.
2. Remove switch housing cover.
3. Disconnect power wiring from switch assembly.
4. Swing magnet assembly in and out by hand to check care-

 3.2 Check Sensing Unit

1. Reconnect power supply. Carefully actuate the switch

mechanism manually (use a non-conductive tool on electri-
cal 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.

2. If controlled equipment responds to manual actuation test,

trouble may be located in the level sensing portion of the
control, float(s), stem(s), and magnetic attraction sleeve(s).
3. Check to be certain liquid is entering float chamber.
A valve may be closed or piping may be plugged.
Caution: Be certain to pull disconnect switch or otherwise ensure
that electrical circuit(s) through control is deactivated.
Close operating medium supply valve on controls
equipped with pneumatic switch mechanisms.

4. Disconnect wiring from supply side of switch mechanism(s)

and remove electrical conduit or operating medium line
connections to switch housing.
5. Perform system shutdown to relieve pressure from float
chamber of control. Allow unit to cool.
6. Close shutoff valves (if equipped) to isolate control from
vessel. Drain off liquid in chamber if necessary.
7. On installations without shutoff valves, relieve pressure
from vessel and drain off liquid head above control
mounting level.
NOTE: Control chamber, connections, and pipe lines need not be
removed from vessel or boiler.

8. Remove switch housing assembly by loosening hex nut,

which is located immediately below housing base.
9. With switch housing assembly removed, inspect attraction
sleeve(s) and inside of enclosing tube for excessive corro-
sion or solids buildup. Such buildup could restrict move-
ment, preventing sleeve(s) from reaching field of switch
magnet(s).
10. If differential has been changed in the field by reposition-
ing the lower jam nuts on the float stem, check tightness
and position of the jam nuts.
NOTE: Differential adjustment affects a change in the amount of level
travel between switch-on and switch-off actuations. Do not
attempt adjustment without first consulting factory for assis-
tance in computing level differential change for your control.

4.0 Preventive Maintenance

Periodic inspections are necessary to keep your level
Float and stem control in good working order. This control is a safety
assembly
device to protect the valuable equipment it serves. A
Figure 11 systematic program of “preventive maintenance” must be
implemented when the control is placed into service. If
the following sections on “what to do” and “what to avoid”
are observed, your control will provide reliable protection
of your equipment for many years.

4.1 Recommended Practice

4.1.1 Keep control clean

Be sure the switch housing cover is always in place on the
control. This cover is designed to keep dust and dirt from
interfering with switch mechanism operation. It also pro-
tects against damaging moisture and acts as a safety feature
by keeping bare wires and terminals from being exposed.
Should the housing cover or any seals become damaged or
misplaced, obtain a replacement immediately.

4.1.2 Inspect switch mechanisms, terminals, and

connections monthly

1. Dry contact switches should be inspected for excessive

wear on actuating lever or misalignment of adjustment

46-605 Flanged External Cage Float Actuated Liquid Level Switches 13

 screw at point of contact between screw and lever.Such
wear can cause false switch actuating levels. See switch
mechanism bulletin supplied with control should switch
adjustment or replacement become necessary.
2. DO NOT operate your control with defective or malad-
justed switch mechanisms. Refer to bulletin on switch
mechanisms furnished for service instructions. See Switch
and Housing Reference, Section 6.2.2.
3. Level controls may sometimes be exposed to excessive heat
or moisture. Under such conditions, insulation on electrical
wiring may become brittle, eventually breaking or pealing
away. The resulting “bare” wires can cause short circuits.
NOTE: Check wiring carefully and replace at the first sign of brittle
insulation.

4. Vibration may cause terminal screws to loosen. Check all

terminal connections to be certain that screws are tight.
5. On units with pneumatic switches, air (or gas) lines sub-
jected to vibration may eventually crack or become loose
at connections causing leakage. Check lines and connec-
tions carefully and repair or replace if necessary.
NOTE: As a matter of good practice, spare switches should be kept
on hand at all times.

4.1.3 Inspect entire unit periodically

Isolate control from vessel. Raise and lower liquid level to

check for switch contact and reset.

4.2 What To Avoid

1. Never leave switch housing cover off the control longer

than necessary to make routine inspections.
2. Never place a jumper wire across terminals to “cut-out”the
control. If a “jumper” is necessary for test purposes, be cer-
tain it is removed before placing control into service.
3. Never attempt to make adjustments or replace switches
without reading instructions carefully. Certain adjustments
provided for in level controls should not be attempted in
the field. When in doubt, consult the factory or your local
representative.
4. Never use lubricants on pivots of switch mechanisms.
A sufficient amount of lubricant has been applied at the
factory to ensure a lifetime of service. Further oiling is
unnecessary and will only tend to attract dust and dirt
which can interfere with mechanism operation.
