Rod extensions for type A 01 04

Depending on the tank design the level switch type A 01 04 can be equipped with rod extension Type G1 or G2 for side mounted switches. For top mounting type G3 is used. Since rod extensions add-on weight to the float, the minimum value for the density will change according to the following tables:

Counterflanges
The simplest method of installing the TriMod BESTA level switches with the square flange (standard range) is to use the BESTA standard weld-on counterflanges. These are available in two different nozzle and/or stud lengths in carbon steel (C22.8) or in stainless steel 1.4401 (316 equiv.).

Float chambers
Wherever it is not possible or desirable to install float switches directly to the vessel, horizontal TriMod BESTA level switches can be mounted externally in a float chamber. This type of installation allows functional checks and servicing to be carried out without interrupting operation, provided that isolation and drain valves are included in the process connections. Materials: carbon steel, high and low temp. carbon steel, stainless steel. Manufacturing approvals: Swiss-SVTI and German-TV Procedure Qualification Record: SVTI 505, AD-HP 2/1, ASME Code Sec. IX.

Adjustment of switching differential

The switching differential can be set by inserting pegs in holes 1 to 9 of the adjustment block (see sketch). The resulting differentials, the position of the switching points and the overall swept arc of the float can be seen in the table below. The values are in mm and are referenced to water at 20C and density of 1.0 kg/dm3.

1. For pump control (2 switch points) The required differential is set by fixing the two stop collars in the appropriate positions on the rod. The counterweight has to be adjusted to compensate for the rod weight (without float), until the cross arm is balanced. The float slides up and down the rod with the liquid level and actuates the switch at the set position of the stop collars. The switch remains latched between the two positions, which are for applications such as pump control where the contactor coil would need to remain energized throughout the pumping cycle. 2. For alarm operation (1 switch point) Only the lower collar is fixed on the for (below the float). Within the limit of the rod length, the height of the alarm point can be chosen as required. The counterweight has to be set, to outweigh the rod (without float). The alarm switching differential is 12 mm.

Installation

Over open tanks or sumps on a bracket. On closed tanks on the manhole covery with the float mounted from the inside. In the absence of a manhole, i.e. the float can not be mounted from the inside, an intermediate flange with an inside diameter of min. 125 mm of flange modules acc. to DIN DN125 or ANSI DN5" should be used. If turbulence occurs, the rod should be guided loosely at the lower end.

The simplest method of installing the TriMod BESTA level switch types A 01 140 and A 01 141 is to use the BESTA standard weldon counterflanges. These are available in carbon steel C22.8 (A105 equiv.) and in stainless steel 1.4401 (SS316 equiv.). If the float can be mounted from the inside, the counterflange can be welded directly to the tank. Otherwise the counterflange has to be welded to an intermediate flange (I.D. min. 125 mm).
