Mobrey vertical magnetic level controls

Principle of Operation

Switching is achieved with the Mobrey “three-magnet” system, giving snap-action “latch-on” switching.

Vertical movement of the primary magnet A in a glandless pressure tube simultaneously actuates magnets B & C to switch the contacts. The “three-magnet” system enables the primary magnet to pass on and actuate switch mechanisms at other levels. Switch mechanisms already actuated can not re-set until the return of the primary magnet actuates the magnet system once again.

The primary magnet is moved vertically in the pressure tube by a float or displacer mechanism which rises and falls with the liquid level.

Identifying your control

This manual covers the three series of controls: B, X and D as shown opposite. Your control has a part number stamped on the nameplate, an example of which is shown below. From this number you can identify your control and turn to the relevant pages in this manual. As switch mechanisms are common to all three series, electrical characteristics are given on page 4.

Warning

Gold plating on the contacts of the P4 and P8 switch mechanisms may be permanently damaged if the mechanisms are used to switch circuits with values greater than those shown above.

Important wiring notes

1. To minimize the electrical shock hazard, before energizing it is essential that the equipment is connected to a protective ground using the terminals supplied.

2. Switches must not be used for the direct starting of motors. Contacts should be wired in series with the operating coils of relays, contactor starters or solenoid valves, and fused separately.

3. The temperature of the switch enclosure may at times approach the temperature of the process and suitable heat resisting cables should therefore be used, together with appropriate cable glands.

4. A sufficient length of flexible cable should be fitted to allow easy removal of the switch head and displacer assembly at any time.

Flameproof models

. Cable entry must be fitted with a flameproof cable entry device, with or

5 without thread adaptor, and should be used in accordance with a local Code of Practice subject to agreement by the local Inspecting Authority.

6. U.L. Approved Applications: Use copper conductors 60°/75°C: 140°/167°F ONLY. Torque terminals to 6kg/cm: 7lb/in.

7. Ensure the cover locking safety grub screw is replaced and tightened

before energizing.

P4, P8, H4, H8 Switch Mechanisms - Simple Apparatus

These Switch Mechanisms in a standard switch housing are classified as “Simple Apparatus” when used in Intrinsically Safe circuits. They comply with the requirements of EN60079-0, General Requirements and EN60079-11, clause 5.7 ‘Simple Apparatus’ and are not considered as a potential source of ignition for an explosive atmosphere.

They do not fulfill the definition of equipment in Article 1 (3) of Directive 94/9/EC (Equipment Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) and are therefore outside the scope this Directive and do not have a Declaration of Conformity or CE mark related to this Directive.

When used as “Simple apparatus” within a hazardous atmosphere the following should be noted:

1. The product should be installed by suitably trained personnel, in accordance with the applicable code of practice.

2. As the product has no source of internal heating, the temperature classification is dependent on the ambient air temperature and the temperature of the process vessel to which it is attached.

3. Materials of construction: Refer to product catalogue or customer drawing for actual material of level switch concerned.

Housing and Cover: Carbon Steel, or Stainless Steel 316 type, or Aluminium Alloy LM25 or LM24 or

B85 grd 360, or Cast Iron grd 250, or Gunmetal LG2

Pressure Tube & Union: Stainless Steel types 316, 321 or 304, or Carbon Steel 220M07, or Alloy NA18,

or Alloy C-276 (UNS N10276) or Alloy 625 UNS N06625, or Alloy 825 UNS N08825

If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, it is the responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.

Aggressive substances

Suitable precautions: e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or establishing from the material’s data sheet that it is resistant to specific chemicals.

Note: The metallic alloy used for the enclosure material may be at the accessible surface of this equipment; in the event of rare accidents, ignition sources due to impact and friction sparks could occur. This shall be considered when the switch is being installed in locations that specifically require group II, category 1G equipment.

4. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure: a. The joint requirements between the switch housing and vessel are compatible with the process media. b. The joint tightness is correct for the joint material used. c. That suitable temperature rated cable is used. Note: The cable entry temperature may exceed 70°C d. The float is protected from impact or friction, or static electrical build-up from fast flowing non-conductive

fluids, that could generate an ignition source.

: e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals or solvents that may affect polymeric materials.

Series B & X Installation Instructions

When installing, using or maintaining external chambers supplied compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive, refer also to the Safety Information (leaflet No. IP152/SI) supplied with the product for further details.

Installation shall be carried out by suitably trained personnel in accordance with applicable codes of practice.

1. Remove all sealing tapes, tie strings and packing from the control prior to installation.

2. Mount the control on the inlet and outlet connections, ensuring that the central line axis of the control is vertical to the

eye. Use suitable process connection gaskets and seals as dictated by the application.

3. Check bolt torques on process and switch head flange bolts are in accordance with torques shown on page 12.

Note

i) A 50mm weld bead or label on the chamber indicates the highest operating level of the control. Switch point adjustment

of 94mm is provided on multi-switch models only and is measured down from this level.

ii) Allow at least 200mm above the control for removal of cover.

3. Remove switch head cover to reveal terminal block(s) to which electrical connections are to be made.

Flameproof models: Locate and slacken off M5 socket head safety grub screw on side of cover adjacent to base joint. Place a bar across the top of the cover, locating in the castellations. The cover can now be unscrewed from the base using the bar as a lever. Weatherproof models: The cover can be removed by unscrewing the single hexagon nut at the crown of the cover.

4. Connect electrical wiring via the conduit entries using a suitable cable gland. Note that the base of the enclosure is rotatable on the pressure tube to allow the most convenient orientation of the conduit entry.

Refer to wiring notes on page 4.

On models with flameproof enclosures type ★7★ the switch mechanism may be raised on the pressure tube to ease access to the terminal block. Ensure that the switch mechanism is re-positioned to its lowest position (i.e. sitting on the limit tube around the pressure tube) after wiring.

5. Switch point adjustments may now be made if necessary. See below.

6. The lugs of the tab washer directly underneath the base must now be bent over to locate on the most appropriate flats of the hexagon union. This prevents further rotation of the switch head, and is particularly important as it will prevent rotation when the cover is removed or re-fitted.

7. Check the cover seals are present and in good condition, and then replace the cover.

(i) Before energizing flameproof / Type ★7★ models, ensure the cover locking safety grub screw is replaced and

tightened. Do not energize if the cover locking safety grub screw is missing.

(ii) Before energizing weatherproof / Type ★4★ models, ensure the weatherproofing fibre sealing washer at the crown

nut is in place.

Switching Point Adjustment Each switch mechanism is mounted on a bracket, which is secured on the pressure tube by a locking screw and lock nut. These can be loosened, allowing the bracket to be adjusted up or down as required. Always ensure that the small pressure plate between the locking screw and the pressure tube is in place before re-tightening the locking screw nut.

Important note: Switches cannot be adjusted outside of the range set by the stops on the pressure tube. Displacer operated control type ★★17D are single switch models with the switching point factory set. There is no site adjustment.

Mechanism

When fitting a spare or replacement switch mechanism

IMPORTANT NOTE

If a spare switch mechanism is fitted at any time, it is important that the magnet system is left in the correct mode.

After installation of a replacement switch mechanism, always check that the B-B contacts are made, assuming the chamber is

empty of liquid. If the chamber is full of liquid, then A-A contacts should be checked to ensure they are made.

If it is found that a switch mechanism is not in the correct mode, then the liquid level in the chamber should be raised such that

the primary float magnet passes through the switching point. Lowering the liquid level will then cause the float magnet to fall

back through the switching point, thus leaving the switch mechanism in the correct operating mode (For a control operating as

low level alarm, the liquid level should be first lowered then raised back to ensure the switch mechanism is in the correct

operating mode).

Full fitting instructions are supplied with each spare or replacement switch mechanism.

IMPORTANT:For use with carbon steel bolts only

If ordinary carbon steel or similar lower quality bolts are used the torques recommended are as shown on the left. The gasket sealing force created by the application of these torques is not sufficient to withstand full flange pressure rating. To achieve full rating, use high tensile steel bolts as above. If in doubt about your bolt/sealing application consult your engineering department or gasket manufacturer.
