The 1100 Series Magnetic Level Indicator from SOR

represents best

in class performance and value thanks to decades of experience and

innovation. Each unit is custom engineered for your exact application

and manufactured to our rigorous quality standards. SOR level gauges

are an ideal replacement for existing process sight gauge systems and

can easily become a functional bridle system for use with level switches,

transmitters, and temperature measurement.

The 1100 Series provides visual indication of liquid level within a larger,

primary process vessel. Once the MLI is mounted to the process vessel

via the supplied process connections, the process liquid will flow freely up

and down within the MLI chamber. A specially designed float is located

inside the 1100 Series chamber and floats along with the process level.

This float contains a powerful magnet that interacts with the non-invasive

indicator assembly located on the outside of the chamber. This magnetic

coupling between the float and the indicator allows the process level to be

shown via the use of rotating flags housed inside the assembly. As the

level rises and falls, these flags will change color and provide real time

indication of the liquid level within the primary process vessel.

Installation

MOUNTING

Before assembling Level Gauge to your process, check for the following:

 Vessel nozzles should be checked for horizontal and vertical alignment.

 Vessel nozzles must be straight and even, with no bends.

 Center-to-center distance of gauge and vessel nozzles must match.

 Vessel and gauge nozzles should be free of sediment, dust and rust.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Periodic inspection will keep your level gauge operating properly for many years.

These gauges provide visual level indication on critical services, and a systematic

program of preventative maintenance will provide excellent long-term protection. Close

attention to the following “what to do” and “what to avoid” tips in your maintenance

program are necessary to ensure satisfactory service.

WHAT TO DO  Keep your Level Gauge clean inside and out.  If you have solids/debris in your process, or if it tends to build up on equipment, it will be necessary to flush the gauge periodically. How often or thoroughly will depend on the nature of your process liquid. It is important that the float can move freely inside the chamber.  If you have an externally mounted transmitter or alarm switch, it is important that all covers and conduit seals are in place and maintained.
