BEFORE STARTING

SIERRA INSTRUMENTS appreciates your choosing our product for your liquid level or liquid/gas flow switching application. We are committed to providing reliable, quality instrumentation to our customers.

To ensure the maximum and intended benefit of this instrument, we encourage you to read this brief operation and maintenance manual in its entirety prior to unpacking and installing the unit.

The following precautions should be noted immediately:

•WHEN INSTALLING YOUR INNOVA-SWITCH™ INTO A PIPE OR VESSEL USE A 1 1/8 INCH (28.575mm) OPEN-END WRENCH TO TIGHTEN AT THE HEX FLATS OF THE MNPT OF A STANDARD SWITCH. (IF YOU HAVE A NON-STANDARD SWITCH AN ALTERNATE SIZE WRENCH MAY BE REQUIRED). DO NOT USE THE INSTRUMENT HEAD TO TIGHTEN THE SWITCH TO THE MOUNTING PORT. ROTATION OF THE INSTRUMENT HEAD WITH RESPECT TO THE SENSOR BODY CAN CAUSE INTERNAL WIRING DAMAGE (SEE FIGURES 1).

•THE SWITCH BODY MUST BE ORIENTED TO HAVE THE TWIN SENSORS PARALLEL TO THE LEVEL BEING DETECTED WHEN THE SENSOR IS INSTALLED HORIZONTALLY FOR POINT LEVEL APPLICATIONS. LIKEWISE, FOR FLOW APPLICATIONS, THE SWITCH BODY MUST BE ORIENTED TO HAVE THE TWIN SENSORS PERPENDICULAR TO THE FLOW BEING DETECTED. DUE TO THE PIPE THREAD MOUNTING, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO MAKE A TRIAL FIT, ADD OR REMOVE TEFLON TAPE OR OTHER PIPE THREAD SEALANT, AND REINSTALL TO ACHIEVE A SATISFACTORY SEAL WITH THE SENSORS PROPERLY ORIENTED. FOR VERTICAL INSTALLATION OF SENSORS FOR POINT LEVEL DETECTION THE ORIENTATION MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. PROPER ORIENTATION IS MARKED ON THE SWITCH BODY FOR REFERENCE (SEE FIGURE 5).

•A GROUND WIRE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE GROUND SCREW LOCATED INSIDE THE INSTRUMENT ENCLOSURE FOR PROPER OPERATION. FOR CENELEC/CE OPTION THE GROUND SCREW IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE BODY OF THE INSTRUMENT ENCLOSURE (SEE FIGURE 6).

•BE SURE TO APPLY THE PROPER VOLTAGE AS CONFIGURED AT THE FACTORY. DO NOT APPLY 115 VAC TO 24 VDC VERSIONS OR 24 VDC TO 115 VAC VERSIONS. (LIKEWISE 230 VAC).

•FOR OPTIMUM OPERATION, CALIBRATION MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED AT ACTUAL PROCESS TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONDITIONS IN GASES AND AT ACTUAL PROCESS TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS IN LIQUIDS.

•DO NOT SANDBLAST OR ABRASIVE CLEAN THE SENSING PROBES. THE SENSING PROBES COULD BE DAMAGED BY ABRASIVES.

•ALL DIMENSIONS GIVEN IN THIS MANUAL ARE IN INCHES (AND MILLIMETERS).

If you have any questions prior to or during installation and calibration, please do not hesitate to call the factory for assistance. We want to ensure the very best possible installation and operational results for your benefit.
