Zone 1, gas group EExd IIC T6 construction, should not be dropped or subjected to any
Gas group 1 (mining) T6 mechanical abuse that could cause damage.

The switches should be stored on suitable racking in


clean and dry conditions, and the factory packing and/or
boxes should not be removed until the switch is ready for
installation. The storage area should not experience
ambient temperatures below 10C, or above 60°C, and/or
70% humidity (RH).

These switches contain strong permanent magnets, so


they should not be stored in close proximity to sources of
electro magnetism or other strong magnets.
Switches in boxes may be stacked together without
damage, but stacks must be such that the boxes are not
crushed or damaged.

Solartron Mobrey switches have a shelf life in excess of


10 years provided the above precautions are followed.

When the switch is called for installation, it is essential


that this manual is kept with the switch to guide the user
in correct installation, resulting in a long and trouble free
operation.

This product contains no asbestos or other harmful


material which require notification or controlled disposal.

moved from around and inside the chamber and switch
before the assembly is bolted down and in accordance
with the torque settings given on page 2-3.

Correct bolt tightening sequence :- This product contains or is fitted with non asbestos
gaskets in accordance with BS7531 Grade X, which
specifies maximum operating temperatures as follows:
Gas/steam/vapour : 250oC
Liquid : 400oC
If your application is in excess of these limits, a suitable
alternative gasket should be fitted. You may consider
compressed asbestos fibre (CAF) or, if your policy is one
of non-asbestos, then a spiral wound gasket with a non
asbestos filler may be suitable.

Adjustments : Switches for horizontal mounting - pump control duty.
Switches fitted with F68 type float unit may be adjusted
on site to meet pump control differential requirements.
The F68/4 has pre-drilled holes along the rod to allow the
user to achieve the /2 and /3 differentials in the table
below.
Simply cut the rod to the required length as shown on the
drawing below:-

The operating levels and differentials may be varied by
locating the stops in accordance with the details shown
in the table below.
Positive dimensions give the switch change-over position
above the centre line. Negative dimensions give the
switch change-over position below the centre line. To
alter stop positions: withdraw split pin, move stop to new
location, re-insert split pin and open out to lock. These Allow an extra 12mm for clearance on X, Y & Y1

Adjustments: Switches for vertical mounting; pump control or alarm duty

Switches with F21 type float unit must be set on site to


perform either alarm or pump control duty.
Stops on the float rod are moved up or down to set the
levels at which the switch contacts change over.
The position of the balance weight should be adjusted as
follows:

Level alarm LOW LEVEL ALARM


The switch can be used for either high or low level alarm, Normal (left) and alarm position
but one switch cannot perform both functions.
To provide both high and low level alarm, two switches
must be fitted. The float rod has two adjustable stops;
the lower stop should be positioned on the float rod at
about 100mm below the required switching point.
The upper stop must be positioned at the top of the float
rod (it is not used in alarm mode).
Without the weight of the float bearing on the stop, the LOW LEVEL ALARM
counter-balance weight is down, holding the float rod in Normal (left) and
the up position. For low level alarm the weight of the alarm positions
float bearing on the stop will cause the switch to change
over.

For high level alarm the float lifting off the stop will allow HIGH LEVEL ALARM
the counter balance weight to raise the float rod, so Normal (left) and alarm positions
causing the switch to change over.
The switch will revert to the normal position as soon as
the liquid level withdraws from the alarm point.

HIGH LEVEL ALARMS


Normal (left) and
alarm positions

Pump control PUMP CONTROLS


The counter balance weight balances out the weight of Low level (left) and high level (right)
rod and stops, excluding the float. At low level, additional
weight of float bearing on bottom stop operates switch.
At high level, bouyancy of the float lifting against top
stop operates the switch. The switch remains in its
switched position until the liquid level alters to the
opposite extreme.
Note: This arrangement must not be used for level alarm PUMP CONTROL
duties. Low level (left) and high level

On no account should the float rod be cut shorter, as the

Operation
Once installed in accordance with section 2.0, the
Mobrey magnetic level switch is ready for operation.

A test may be made by lifting the float by hand to check


that the float moves freely and the relevant alarm or
pump control relays operate. On no account try to
