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. Moisture, dust
and debris entering these electronics housings can cause permanent damage,
leading to failure.
 Inspect the float, terminals and connections monthly.
 Remove the float from the chamber once a month to check for leaks or damage.
Clean the float and reinstall it. Proper float function is critical to the operation of
your level gauge.
Check electrical terminal connections and wiring for signs of damage due to
heat or vibration. Excessive heat can cause wire insulation to become brittle and
crack or fall off. Exposed wire can cause shorts or sparks, creating a dangerous
situation. Excessive or constant vibration can cause terminal screws to loosen,
creating intermittent or lost connections. Check that all electrical connections
are tight and wires are flexible with no signs of heat damage.
WHAT TO AVOID
 Do not leave transmitter or alarm switch covers off longer than necessary to
inspect or maintain wiring and connections.
Make sure the float is installed correctly in the chamber. Do not install the float
upside down.
 Do not attempt to make adjustments to attached transmitters other than Zero and
Span adjustments. Consult the factory for additional assistanace.
