General Description The OMEGA® LV-1100 Series Liquid Level Switches feature a non-magnetic design suitable for application where magnetic particles (ie: rust) are present. The LV-1100 Series also feature rugged metal construction and a buoyancy adjustment to allow the unit to be used with fluids down to SP.GR. = .06. The LV-1101 features a single float design; the LV-1102 featurs a two float design.
Specifications Working Fluid Specific Gravity Range: Adjustable between 0.6 and 1.0+ Nom. Working Pressure/Temperature: 300 PSIG @ 180˚F max. Liquid Level Change To Activate Switch: 1/4 inch Relay Switch: SPDT 15A @ 125 or 250 Vac; 10,000,000 operations median Option “D”: Dual SPDT relays; nominal difference flow between the two relay actuation points is 5% Electrical Cable Fitting: Water resistant strain relief for cable diameter .250" ±.
Installation The LV-1101 Series Level Switches are supplied with a 2" x 1" TT bushing threaded in place with 2 to 3 wraps of Teflon tape, which must be intact or renewed if bushing and switch are separated before assembly in tank. Apply a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 3 wraps of Teflon tape to the male threads of the bushing. This is especially important if the unit is to be used in metal fittings where coarse threads could bind if not lubricated.
WARNING THESE DEVICES ARE NOT EXPLOSION-PROOF. IF THESE LEVEL SWITCHES ARE INTENDED FOR USE WITH FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, OR IN HAZARDOUS AREAS, THE MECHANICAL RELAY INSIDE CAN BE MADE INTRINSICALLY SAFE WHEN PROPERLY WIRED TO AN INTRINSICALLY SAFE RELAY SWITCH, SUCH AS OMEGA’S LVC 550 SERIES INTRINSICALLY SAFE RELAYS. THEY MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE (NEC) BY PERSONNEL EXPERIENCED WITH INTRINSIC SAFETY WIRING. 2.
