In the case of the HR-30 Series, the FLOAT made to fit the specific gravity of the measure
object moves up and down along with the liquid surface by buoyancy; the magnet
installed in the FLOAT operates the REED S/W to generate contact points. Multiple
detection positions can be set to issue the level of the upper/lower limit alarms or
adjust the alarm levels.
■ Frequently used to measure most liquids (HH, H, L, LL)
■ Materials of the detecting element are resistant to corrosive measure objects (PVC, PTFE)
■ Have explosion-proof structures (Ex Version)
■ Durable and highly reliable structure
■ Shows high reliability in level detection

Maintenance
method
Precautions for
separation
■ The lines should be separated after checking the level inside the tank and whether or not there is
any measure object in the tank.
■ Gloves should be worn when separating the lines in the case of products for high temperatures
because burns may occur.
■ The cover of the product should not be opened in cases in which there is an explosive gas
atmosphere.
■ In the case of explosion-proof products, the SET SCREW (explosion-proof key) should be unlocked
before opening the COVER.
■ The lines should be separated after turning off the power.
■ When opening or closing the cover of the product, be attentive to prevent causing damage to the
O-ring or the gasket.
The major parts of HR-30 Series to be inspected are the FLOAT and REED S/W in the sensor element.
The life spans of major parts vary with user environments and can be used in optimum conditions
through periodic inspections.
Therefore, the user should maintain and repair the product through periodic inspections conducted
at least once per year.
The appearance of the product should be visually checked to see if there is any damage, and if there
is scale caused by measure objects, it should be removed for the smooth operation of the FLOAT. The
REED S/W can simply be inspected using a Digital Multimeter as follows.
Select the buzzer of the Digital Multimeter and connect it to one of product’s terminal blocks, E1–E4,
and the COM terminal.
When the FLOAT is moved, if the buzzer rings at the lower or upper limit contact point, the REED S/W
is normal.
When checking contact point conditions based on resistance, if the Digital Multimeter indicates 0Ω
when the FLOAT is moved, the REED S/W is normal in the NC (Normal Close). In the NO (Normal
Open) state, the Digital Multimeter indicates 0Ω when the REED S/W is normal.
Moreover, when the product is used for highly viscous liquids, the sensor element should be
periodically cleaned.
For maintenance, the power of the product should be completely turned off
before inspection.

Precautions for
installation
Precautions for
external wire lead-in
method
Precautions for
ground connection
(explosion-proof
products)
■ When flanges or screws are used for fastening, the size should be the same.
■ The user should place a washer between each bolt and nut to prevent loosening.
■ When fastening flanges to each other, gaskets should be used.
(The gaskets should be selected considering the temperature of the content and the pressure of the
container.)
■ The user should install appropriate products after judging whether the products are to be used in
explosion-proof regions.
■ The power should be supplied when the installation has been completed and the cover has been
fastened.
Great impacts should not be applied to the product when the product is moved.
■ The user should use a cable grand connection method or a metal pipe wire lead-in method on
wire inlets, and when external wires are led in for connection, products that have been certified for
at least the same explosion-proof performance as the relevant explosion-proof equipment should be
used.
■ Plugs for closing that passed safety certification tests for at least the same performance as the
relevant explosion-proof equipment should be used for external wire inlets not used.
■ Ground connections are divided into external ground connections and internal ground connections.
In the case of external ground connections, the size of ground wires should be at least 4㎟ (4mmSQ).
■ Internal ground wires should be of the same size as the power cable and the size of internal grounding
terminal lugs should be 3.1㎟ (3.1mmSQ). If the power cable is larger than 3.1㎟, the terminal lug
should be taken out before connecting the ground wire.
When connecting a ground wire to an internal grounding terminal after taking out
the terminal lug, a washer should be used without failure (to prevent loosening).

Attachment
and precautions
for attachment
Diameter “d” should be larger than the FLOAT.
The product may malfunction if the product has been
installed at the inlet through which the measure object
flows in. Therefore, a guide should be installed in such
case or the product should be installed at a
position distant from the inlet for measure
When the measure object flows or slops;
protecting tube type products should be used.
When attaching the product, the following matters should be considered.
When installing the product on a concrete wall, you
may want to install it as shown in the figure above.

The terminals of the products are composed as the following according to contact points
and shall be connected as follows.
■ Open the product COVER and insert the cables through the wire inlet.
■ Identify the contact points (E1, E2….) on the terminal block and connect the cables.
The product may be made with NO (contact point A) or NC (contact point B) as
ordered by the customer and is made with NO (contact point A) unless there is a
special request regarding contact points.
The shapes of the contact points are as shown by the following figures.

Product marking
■ Matters that require attention when the product is used
- When fastening the product to the container, make sure that the product is maximally
pressed to the container by using tools.
- The locking device should not be lost while the product is being used, and the product
should be locked without failure.
- Great impacts should not be applied to the product.
■ Matters that require attention when connecting the product
- Wire should be corrected to terminals that correspond to the locations of contact points
(refer to the connection method).
■ Disposal of the product
- When disposing of the product because it is not usable, the AMP in the product housing
shall be separated and disposed of. No special attention is required because there are no
parts that affect environments (e.g., mercury switch).

Warranty and service
The warranty period of this product is two years after the shipment of the product,
and service will be provided free of charge during this period for problems that have
occurred during normal use. If service is requested for matters other than product
issues, charges may be requested regardless of the warranty period.

The above matters should be fully understood, and the temperature of fluids in the
container where the product is used shall not exceed 80℃ in the case of general types
and 150℃ in the case of high-temperature types. In addition, temperatures around the
housing should be within the range of −20–60℃. (In the case of products with sensor
elements made of PVC, the temperature of fluids in the container is limited to 60℃.)
Because explosion-proof products are pressure-resistant explosion-proof products, their
cover should never be opened when they are in use.
Explosion-proof products have been designed pursuant to Article 34 of the Industrial
Safety and Health Act and Article 58-4 of the enforcement rules of the same act.
Products that are not explosion-proof shall not be applied to explosion-proof regions.
Explosion-proof products can be used only in places where the surrounding
environment and fluids in the container are class 1 or 2.
