Introduction

237484

Thank you for purchasing a RP Resistive Chain Continuous Level Probe from APG. We appreciate your
business! Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your RPE or RPX and this manual.

The RP resistive probes contain reed switches in a 1/2” Ø stainless steel stem and a permanent magnet

in a oat. As the oat rises or falls with the level of the liquid, the magnet inside the oat acts on the

corresponding reed switches inside the stem changing the output of the probe. The RPX carries explosion

proof, intrinsically safe, and non-incendive hazardous location approvals.

Reading your label

Every APG instrument comes with a label that includes the instrument’s model number, part number, and

serial number. Please ensure that the part number on your label matches your order.

Chapter 2: Installation and Removal Procedures and Notes

• Tools Needed

• Wrench sized appropriately for your RPE’s or RPX’s mounting

• Wrench sized appropriately for conduit connections

• Thread tape or sealant compound for threaded connections

• Physical Installation Notes

The RPE or RPX should be installed in an area--indoors or outdoors--which meets the following conditions:

• IEC-664-1 Conductive Pollution Degree 2

• IEC 61010-1 Measurement Category II

• Altitude up to 2000 meters (6560 feet)

• Relative humidity up to 100%

• DC power supply

• Ambient temperature between -40°C and 85°C (-40°F to +185°F)

• No chemicals corrosive to stainless steel (such as NH3, SO2, Cl2 etc.)

• Ample space for maintenance and inspection

Additionally, locate the probe:

• Away from strong magnetic elds, such as those produced by motors, transformers, solenoid valves,

etc.

• Away from excessive vibration.

• In a medium free from metallic substances and other foreign matter.

• Installation Notes

• Do not locate your RP series level sensor near inlets/outlets.

• If there is surface wave action, then use a time-delay relay or stilling tube. If a stilling tube is used, drill

vent holes in the tube and use a spacer to assure the oat has free travel inside the tube (See Figure

2.1).

• The RPE and RPX can be mounted up to 20° from vertical.

• Mounting Instructions

Flange Mounting

Provide the compatible mating ange on the tank and install using a suitable gasket.

Plug Mounting

Provide the compatible female boss on the tank and install the probe with thread tape.

• Electrical Installation

DANGER: Do not remove the housing cover until the atmosphere is determined safe,



and the power supply is turned o.

For RPX and RPE probes with Housings

• Install conduit and/or cable with necessary seal(s) per Drawing 9001930 or 9001932 for hazardous

locations.

• Remove housing cover.

• Check the Wire Color and Terminal Tables on page 6 before making any connections.

• Connect the wire for your system to the appropriate terminal.

• Replace housing cover.

For RPE probes with hookup wires

• Pull probe hookup wires through conduit as appropriate before attaching conduit to top of probe.

• Check the Wire Color and Terminal Tables on page 6 before making any connections.

• Connect the wires from the probe to your system appropriately.



IMPORTANT: Your RPX MUST be installed according to drawing 9001930 (IS Hazard-
ous Installation Drawing For RPX) or 9001932 (Hazardous Mounting Drawing RPX) to meet
listed approvals. Faulty installation will invalidate all safety approvals and ratings.

• Removal Instructions

Removing your RP probe from service must be done with care.

• Ensure all circuits are de-energized, and any hazardous atmosphere has dispersed.

• Disconnect wires, at terminals in RP head or at your system.

• Remove the RP with an appropriately sized wrench (per your mounting type).

• Clean the RP’s stem and oat of any debris (see General Care) and inspect for damage.

• Store your RP in a dry place, at a temperature between -40° and 40°C (-40° and 104°F).

Chapter 3: Maintenance

• General Care

Your RP series continuous level probe is very low maintenance and will need little care as long as it is

installed correctly. However, in general, you should:

• Periodically inspect the stem and oat for any trapped debris, sediment, or other foreign material.

• Avoid applications for which the RP was not designed, such as extreme temperatures, contact with

incompatible corrosive chemicals, or other damaging environments.

• If your RPX or RPE has an NPT mount, inspect the threads whenever you remove it from duty or

change its location.

• For units with housing, never leave the housing cover o. If the cover is damaged or lost, order a re-

placement immediately.

• Offset and Span Calibration (4-20 mA output probes only)

 NOTE: This procedure can be performed in a non-hazardous area, either prior to

installation, or by temporarily uninstalling your 4-20 mA RP probe.

1. Remove the housing cover.

2. Set DC power supply to 24 VDC, and connect to RP probe, with ammeter in loop.

3. Move oat to desired position for 4 mA output.

4. Using a jeweler’s screwdriver or a suitable instrument, adjust the “Oset” potentiometer until you
have a 4 mA output.

5. Move oat to desired position for 20 mA output.

6. Using a jeweler’s screwdriver or a suitable instrument, adjust the “Span” potentiometer until you have

a 20 mA output.

7. Repeat steps 3 - 6 as necessary to ne tune calibration.

SYSTEMS - FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, CERTIFIED TO U.S. STANDARDS

Class I, Division 2, Groups C, and D T3

 Float Level Sensor model RPMx and RPXx, rated 5 - 15 Vdc, 100mA, or rated 12 to 24 Vdc, 4-20mA, and

model RPAx, rated 12 to 24 Vdc, 4-20mA; max; operating ambient 85°C. Field wiring is non-incendive when
installed per drawings 9001415, 9001932 and 9002023 respectively.

Notes for Models RPMx, RPAx, RPXx:

1. The "x" in the Model designations may be any alpha-numeric character, to denote minor mechanical options,
not affecting safety.

2. The equipment is intended to be installed as required by the applicable electrical code (CEC, NEC) and as
specified by the manufacturers Installation Instructions.

3. The installation will be inspected by the authority with jurisdiction in the area where installed.
