1.0.0 Introduction
1.1.0 Forward
The Jogler JLT-6000 series transmitter represents the latest in magnetostrictive level transmitter
technology. Suitable for most liquid level applications, the JLT transmitter provides a very accurate and
reliable output for remote level control with zero maintenance. With greater ease of communication and
programmability, the JLT series contains the latest state-of-the-art electronics and sensor technology.
The JLT series is available in three different configurations; the ILT, LGT and MGT-6000 series. All
transmitters are factory calibrated to the specifications required with each order and installation.
The ILT-6000 series transmitter is designed for direct insertion into a storage tank, process
vessel or bypass chamber. The ILT can be top or bottom mounted and comes with a patented
thermo-well enclosure. As a result, the 316 SS waveguide probe of the transmitter is not exposed
directly to the process conditions since it is isolated within the thermowell. Only the thermowell
enclosure and level float are exposed to external process conditions. Remote mounted transmitter head
locations are available.
The LGT-6000 series transmitter is designed for installation directly into a liquid level sight
glass. The patented LGT design provides 100% confirmation between the liquid level in the gage and
the float position of the transmitter relative to the fluid level established in the sight glass. Top, bottom
or remote mounted transmitter head locations are available. The waveguide probe and float are
directly exposed to external process conditions in this configuration. The waveguide probe is not
exposed to internal process conditions.
The MGT-6000 series transmitter is designed exclusively for magnetic level indicators. The
waveguide probe is installed externally on the outside of the magnetic level gage chamber and is not
exposed to process conditions. Based on the level gage specifications, top, bottom or remote mounted
transmitter head locations are available.
1.2.0 Theory Of Operation
Magnetostrictive level transmitters operate in conjunction with a magnetic field that originates from a
liquid level float designed for the process media. A two wire waveguide probe of variable length is
connected to the transmitter sensor and electronic assembly. The two wire waveguide is housed within
a sealed ¼ inch (OD) sensor probe and receives a short current pulse at timed intervals. Disruption of
the waveguide is caused by torsion generated by the float’s lateral magnetic field at any elevation. This
torsion or deflection of the waveguide is detected by the transmitter sensor, which produces a very
accurate signal proportionate to the level elevation.

2.0.0 Preparation
2.1.0 Introduction
Jogler JLT series level transmitters are built and designed to exact customer specifications as defined
in each model number. Wiring terminations are required and need to follow proper procedures.
2.2.0 Unpacking Freight
Upon receipt, all packages containing Jogler products are to be opened carefully and inspected for
freight damages. If damage to the product has occurred due to freight, a claim needs to be made at the
point of product receipt and initial inspection within 24 hours. Jogler does not insure freight or make
freight claims on behalf of the owner. Do not discard the shipping container until all components are
accounted and inspected for.
2.3.0 Storage
If the transmitter requires storage for prolonged periods, care must be given to ensure product
protection from physical and ambient conditions. Seal the entire device completely from condensation
and store it with the shipping materials provided. Do not leave any auxiliary conduit connection open.
Recommended storage temperatures are -10 to +130° F.
2.4.0 Electronic Static Discharge
Jogler level transmitters are manufactured from the highest quality electronic components of which can
be damaged by static electricity. Care must be taken to eliminate static discharges surrounding the
transmitter upon installation. All equipment proximal to the transmitter must be grounded to a secure
source. Grounding terminals are provided both inside and outside of the instrument enclosure.
2.5.0 Equipment and Recommended Tools
To attach the JLT series transmitter to an existing piping or vessel connection, the operator will need
the following tools:
•Nut drivers for MGT attachment to piping clamps
•Phillips and flat head screwdrivers
•Wrenches for ILT and LGT installation
•Digital volt meter to verify and troubleshoot voltage

2.6.0 Temperature Ratings
The maximum ambient temperature rating of the JLT series electronics is -40 to + 160° F. The ambient
temperature range of the LED readout is -10 to +160° F. Ambient temperatures above and below that
rating may cause the LED readout to malfunction. The transmitter head may require protection from
prolonged direct sunlight exposure. Low temperature cryogenic or high temperature insulation blankets
should be installed during extreme process operating temperatures.
The maximum process temperature rating of the JLT series transmitter is -40°F to +235° F and applies
to the waveguide probe.
2.7.0 Pressure Ratings
The maximum process pressure rating of the JLT series transmitter waveguide probe is 300 PSIG.
This rating applies to LGT-6000 series which is a direct insertion model for level gage applications only.
The waveguide probe in the ILT-6000 series transmitter is protected by and contained within the
thermowell and is therefore not subject to process pressure. The MGT-6000 is an externally mounted
transmitter and is not subject to process pressure.
2.8.0 Voltage
The JLT transmitter is designed to operate at 24 Volts DC, nominal. Please ensure that the power
supply to the transmitter is the same 24 VDC voltage required. Although the voltage range of the JLT
transmitter is +12 to +30 VDC, it is highly recommended that the service voltage is established at a
stable and continuous 24 VDC. Higher voltages will damage the transmitter. Do not connect to AC
current since this will damage the transmitter and violate the transmitter warranty.

3.0.0. Mounting
3.1.0 Introduction
Determine if the installation requires a top, bottom or remote mounted location. Consideration should
be given to electrical conduit connections before the transmitter is installed. It is important to verify
chemical compatibility with all wetted components.
3.2.0 MGT – Magnetic Level Indicators
•The second bend in the waveguide should be placed at the same elevation of the centerline of
the upper or lower process connection, depending upon the preferred transmitter head location.
•The transmitter head contains a special pipe clamp groove for chamber attachment first.
•Insolating Lbrackets are supplied for the waveguide. These maintain an even distance of the
waveguide away from the magnetic level gage chamber.
•Corresponding pipe clamps are provided for each Lbracket position, which should be spaced
evenly apart throughout the waveguide.
•Secure the L brackets by tightening each pipe clamp accordingly after the transmitter head is
secured.
3.3.0 ILT – Direct Tank Insertion (Waveguide with Thermowell)
•The assembly includes a welded flanged thermo-well and float that is separate from the
transmitter head and waveguide.
•Verify if the flanged thermo-well and float assembly matches the connection flange of the tank
or vessel and is of the specified material. Please note, since the ILT transmitter head, sensor
and waveguide probe are isolated from the process environment, the material of the
thermowell assembly can be different.
•Attach the flanged thermo-well and float assembly to the vessel connection flange without the
ILT transmitter head and waveguide.
•Slip the transmitter waveguide into the thermo-well after the thermo-well flange is attached to
the vessel connection flange.
•Secure the transmitter head, sensor and waveguide by tightening the sensor thread.
3.4.0 LGT – Level Gage Insertion (Waveguide without Thermowell)
•The assembly includes the transmitter head, threaded sensor, float and waveguide.
•Verify if the material of the waveguide and float are compatible with the process service.
•Connection size and type is 0.75 inch MNPT threaded or 0.75 inch sanitary, minimum.
•Secure the transmitter head, sensor and waveguide by tightening the sensor connection.

4.0.0 Wiring
Connection to the JLT-6000 transmitter requires an electrical conduit connection of ¾ inch NPT. The
enclosure contains two conduit connection ports (Photograph No. 1). Wiring between the power supply
and the JLT-6000 transmitter should be made with 18 – 22 AWG shielded twisted pair instrument cable.
4.1.0 Connections
Once the electrical conduit is properly connected, the terminal block needs to be accessible for wiring
connections. The terminal block is located on the termination board which is attached to the enclosure
beneath the sealed transmitter puck. (Photograph No. 2) The transmitter puck plugs into the termination
board. The puck will require removal (unplugging) from the termination board in order to gain access to
the terminal block. Simply pull the transmitter puck out vertically and carefully. There are three guide
pins located on the bottom of the transmitter puck housing. These pins realign the puck perfectly into
the termination board upon reinstallation. (Photograph Nos. 3 and 4)
Wiring to the terminal block is as follows:
Terminal Block: POS (+) Positive 24 VDC Red Wire
Terminal Block: NEG (-) Negative Black Wire
Ground Screw: 8-32 NC Inside Enclosure Back Green Wire

Warning: Electrical connections may induce an explosion hazard. Do not connect or
disconnect equipment unless power has been turned off and the installation area has been
rendered non-hazardous. Determine the correct polarity before connecting.
The JLT-6000 is designed for Class 1, Division 1, Groups B, C and D hazardous locations. Explosion
proof installations could have flammable vapors and liquids present. If disconnecting, instrument covers
must remain tight until power is turned off. Make sure that power is off in any junction box if exposed to
hazardous atmospheres. Power to the instrument can only be turned on after the installation is
complete, instrument covers are tight and secure, the area is non-hazardous and the installation has
been checked by the appropriate electrical engineers.
