rigid structural member. Indicator should be located to
ensure visibility of the display with adequate overall
clearance for connections at the top and bottom of the
housing. Refer to mounting dimensions shown.
A-2. Remove front cover and discard any packing material.
A-3. Remove and discard metal seal plug from center connec-
tion. Remove white vent plug from left hand connection
and save for nal installation. Remove and discard well

Indicator Scales
Installation: Scales are furnished in pairs, one for each side
of the indicating tube, with matching serial numbers (Detail 2).
Install or align scales only after the indicator has been physi-
cally mounted.
Alignment Check: If scales have been factory installed, refer
to step C-3 below to check alignment. Disconnect signal tubing
or air supply line before making any adjustment to scale align-
ment.
C-1. Remove front cover and remove any packing material (felt
blocks, etc.)
C-2. Scales are fastened to the support brackets using small
screws and washers supplied. See Detail 5.
C-3. Align the lowest mark on the scale to coincide with level of
liquid in the glass indicating tube. Tighten screws to
secure scales once properly aligned. Any misalignment
will cause reading errors.
C-4. Replace front cover and connect signal tubing and/or air
supply line.

Signal Tube Installation
The tubing between the tank downpipe and indicator. Tubing
may be copper, nylon or polyo of the appropriate diameter
as recommended to convey the air ow to the downpipe and
resulting pressure back to the indicator.
D-1. Route tubing to avoid sharp bends and minimize exposure
to damage or high trafc areas. Recommended minimum
tubing diameters –
1/4” O.D. for distances up to 125 feet/38 m
3/8” O.D. for distances up to 550 feet/170 m
7/16” O.D. for distances greater than above
D-2. Install tube tting and connect signal tubing at indicator.
Tubing must be leak-tight for its entire run. Do not tee into
the signal tube for any equipement that consumes air.
Compressed Air Supply
Compressed air supply must be clean, dry and oil-free to en-
sure trouble free operation. Under normal operating conditions,
supply pressure should be 55-60 psig (380-420 kPa).
E-1. Install supply line at the Compressed Air Inlet connection
of the indicator.
E-2. Adjust the rotameter control so that the small internal oat
rests between the horizontal marks.
