Overview and
and Features
Mechanism and
Components
■ Wire type for easy installation
■ Local indication (indicator)
■ Easy maintenance
The HT-100F Series is a float-type level transmitter for continuously measuring
the liquid level in a container with buoyancy. It is mainly used to measure liquid for
purification, industrial water, sewage treatment plants, wastewater, and fuel tanks.
When the float, which is fabricated according to the specific gravity of the target to
be measured, moves up and down along the liquid surface with buoyancy, the wire
connected to the float is wound around the wire drum by the constant spring.
The rotation of the wire drum is transferred to the gear and, thus, triggers the
indicator pointer.
The magnet in the indicator pointer triggers the reed switch to change the resistance
value.
The changed resistance value is detected by the R/I converter(M-100R) in the housing
and corresponding current value (DC 4-20mA) is continuously output. The HT-100FI h
as the local indicator pointer so that it can be checked on site.

Maintenance
The HT-100F Series level transmitter requires inspection for the sensor, drive, and transmission
sections. The sensor section has REED S/W; the drive section has the wire drum, spring drum,
and spur gear; and the transmission section has the M-100R.
The service life of parts depends on the operation conditions, and regular inspection is
required to keep the optimum operation conditions. Thus, users are advised to conduct regular
inspection and maintenance at least every year. Exterior damages will be visually checked. The
M-100R can be checked using a digital multimeter.
<Checking of the Sensor>
Disconnect the sensor wire from the H, C, and L terminals of the M-100R, and meas
ure the resistance value of the sensor.
Low and Com
Resistance value of the current level
High and Com
Resistance value of the full level – Resistance value of the current level
High and Low
Resistance value of the full level
<Checking of the Drive>
1. Remove the front cover to see the gear operation.
2. Remove the rear cover to check the wire and measuring tape for any damage.
<Checking of the Transmission>
Check the output current of terminals T and – of the M-100R using the digital multimeter.
※ The output current can be checked with the test points without opening its wire.

After checking the sensor parts, the wrong connection of H, C, and L is the cause of the product failure.

Attachment and
Cautions
If it is installed on the inlet, install a guide,
or make it distanced from the inlet to
prevent malfunction.
If the liquid flows or slashes,
use the protection pipe type.
Install it on the concrete wall as shown above.
“d” diameter requires a larger diameter than
float and straight piping.

Marking
■ Check the level and presence of liquid in the tank before removing it.
■ Disconnect the power first.
■ Connect flanges with same dimensions.
■ Make sure to insert washers between bolts and nuts to prevent loosening.
■ Make sure to insert gaskets between flanges.
■ Make sure to install the product and to cover it before supplying power.
■ Do not use it for any corrosive gas.
■ Use the cable gland connection or metal pipe wiring for the inlet of wires.
Make sure it is not subject to any impact when moving it.
■ Cautions
- Make sure to connect the product and container using the required tools.
- Do not apply large impact to the product.
■ Disposal
- To dispose a waste product, separate the AMP and body first. It does not contain
any part that is harmful to the environment (e.g., mercury switch).
■ Product Identification
The product identification mark is attached onto the housing and shows the model name, serial
number, working temperature, working pressure, and matters regarding output. The serial
number is a unique manufacturing number for the identification of products.
