Magnetic, Float Operated, Guided Level Switch -"FGSO", "FGSI" with Control unit "TLCF"

SINCE 1984

It is an established and reliable technique in industry for single / multiple liquid level sensing and control in open or pressurized vessels. It offers trouble free service in conductive / non-conductive liquids under widely varying temperatures, pressures, liquid viscosity and corrosive conditions. Besides, it provides high repeatability, and effects of shocks / vibrations are minimal.

CONSTRUCTION & OPERATION :

Simple & sturdy construction, consisting of a float and guide tube, made of nonmagnetic material to achieve undisturbed magnetic flux (Fig.1). The float has a magnetic system within it and moves freely along the guide tube, which contains glass encapsulated hermetically sealed reed switches, located at preset positions. Float follows liquid level and magnetically actuates reed switch at preset positions to give a change over contact. Single / multiple switching is effected through single or multiple floats as required by application. Model "FGSO" is fitted with Cast Al. enclosure to Weather proof IP-66 or Ex-proof to Gr. IIA & IIB or IIC to suit outdoor installations. Model "FGSI" is fitted with Nylon plug-in connector or epoxy potted to suit indoor installations only. Both models are available with "Techtrol Zener Barrier" for intrinsic safety. The switch rating can be increased by connecting it in series with TLCF (Techtrol Level Controller) to operate high electric loads. Techtrol Level Controller "TLCF" are available in : Panel (WP IP-41) / Wall (WP IP-65) / Wall (Exproof Gr. IIA-IIB) enclosure

INSTALLATION & WIRING :

Mounted internally or externally through a chamber as shown in (Fig 3).For installations without float removal, insure 'Nozzle & Cage pipe' nominal bore is greater than float diameter. External mounting is adopted to overcome limited space within the tank or where mechanical devices like stirrers operate or where isolation tank is required for regular servicing. It can be mounted vertically from top. The level switch can be wired directly in series to operate electric loads like audio / alarm, annunciation, mimic indication, which match the low switching capacity of reed contacts. However, high loads like contactor, solenoid / motorised valve should be connected through a Techtrol Level Controller (TLCF) to prevent overloading by surge or inrush current and isolate reed contacts from the electrical power system, to ensure their long life.
