OPERATION
The variations of level are followed by the internal float that, by means of a magnetic field, acts on the indicator.
RECEPTION
The LT/LTL series are supplied suitably packed for transport. They are supplied with the float blocked in its bottom position by means of a stop introduced into the lower side coupling.
BEFORE MOUNTING ON THE TANK, THIS STOP MUST BE REMOVED.
INSTALLATION
Important: Check that the maximum working pressure is below the limit shown on the
identification label of the equipment. Check that the maximum working temperature of the
!
liquid is within the limits given in the following table.
MATERIALS
EN 1.4404 (AISI-316L) -20 ºC…...150 ºC
PVC 0 ºC…...45 ºC
PP -10 ºC…...90 ºC PVDF -20 ºC…...135 ºC PTFE -60 ºC…...150 ºC
LIQUID TEMPERATURE
RANGE
The working temperatures are given for an ambient temperature of 20ºC. The fittings to the tank must be ALIGNED and PERPENDICULAR. Flange bolts should be tightened progressively in a criss-cross manner to avoid creating tensions. With threaded connections, they should be tightened progressively and together.

For the LT series levels (with a glass tube), it is recommended to remove this tube before mounting the level to the tank. Next, fill the glass tube. On ce t he level is f i tted to the tank, rein stal l the glass tube to the level.
This process should be done using the following instructions: INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING THE GLASS TUBE (fig. 1):
1. Remove the Allen screw (1).
2. Withdraw the glass tube from its support and remove the plug at the top (3).
3. Fill the glass tube (4) with the liquid supplied with the level.
4. Insert the plug (3) in the tube and maintain in a vertical position,
MOUNTING THE GLASS TUBE (fig. 1):
1. Check that the rubber seating (5) is in its position.
2. The bottom of the glass tube (4) should rest on the rubber seating (5).
3. Mount the spacer (2, rubber washer) in its position.
4. Assemble the glass tube in its position and screw the Allen screw (1) into the plug (3).
5. The Allen screw should not be very tight, it is sufficient to tighten until a slight resistance is noted.

LEVEL READING
For levels with a glass tube the value of the level is read on the scale at the height of the top of the external float. For levels with indication by means of magnetic strips, the reading is taken where the strips change from red to white.
MAINTENANCE No specific maintenance is required.
