Thank you for choosing a NIVELCO instrument.
We are sure that you will be satisfied throughout its use.
1. APPLICATION
The interaction of the magnetic float and the reed relays (incorporated in the protection tube) is the basis of
the NIVOPOINT magnetic float level switch series operation. They are suitable for level indication of normal
and explosive liquids, and can be used for level control tasks. The protecting tube contains a max. of 5
relays. Parts of the instrument are: probe tube with magnetic float and housing containing the connection
terminal.
The magnetic float moves alongside the protection tube tracking the level of the liquid and activating the reed
relays. As the float passes a relay it changes the output state of the relay which retains this state latching
until the level decreases and the float moves again along the respective relay to switch its state back.

3. INSTALLATION
For mounting the unit 1", 2" BSP or NPT threads can be used. Minimal gap
diameter for the float is 55 mm. Use the M20x1.5 cable gland for electrical
connection.
The only version that can be installed without removing the float from the shaft
and reassembling it from the inside of the tank is the version with 2” (BSP or
NPT) process connection. If protection tube is used the minimum tube diameter
should be 75 mm (for insertion lenght < 1.5m and 95 mm for insertion
length > 1.5m). When using a 90 mm float the tube diameter should be min.
130 mm.
WARNING!
The sliding sleeve must not be loosened in tanks under pressure.
The unit should be mounted in vertical position via its process connection and
handled with care to avoid any damage or bend of the protection tube during
transportation or installation.
4. WIRING
Depending on the grounding system either the inner or the outer grounding
terminal should be connected to the EP network.
Standard version
Remove the cover. Feed the electrical cables through the cable gland and
connect them in accordance with the sketch on the cover where the (NO/NC)
states of the relays are marked. The terminal of the lowest switch point has to
be number 1.
„C” is common terminal.
The cross section of the connecting cable has to be between 0.5 and 2.5 mm2.
Ex version
Remove the safety clamp and screw the cover off. Feed the electrical cables
through the cable gland and connect them in accordance with the sketch on the
cover where the (NO/NC) states of the relays are marked.
Connect the grounding screw to the grounding system. Place the cover back
and fasten the safety clamp by setting it into one of the notches of the cover.
5. SET UP, ADJUSTMENT
After screwing in and before tightening the sliding sleeve the direction of the
cable gland and the position of the reed-relay set can be adjusted.
An open-end wrench should be used when loosening or screwing tight the
sliding sleeve. The position of the reed-relay set can be vertically adjusted by a
max. of 25 mm.
5.1. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF THE EX APPLICATION
The apparatus met the requirements specified for mechanical strength with
reduced impact energy (4 J = 1 kg; 0.4 m). On the basis of the above the place
and way of installation should guarantee the protection of the unit against
external mechanical impacts during service.
Before the installation of the device it must be equipped with a certified cable
gland with Ex d protection type. Prior to installing the Ex d certified cable gland
the red protection cap should be removed.
6. MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
The unit does not require regular maintenance. In some instances, however, the
probe may need occasional cleaning to remove surface deposits. This must be
carried out gently, without harming the probe.
All repairs will be carried out at the manufacturer’s premises.
7. STORAGE CONDITIONS
Ambient temperature: -20 °C ... +60 °C
8. WARRANTY
NIVELCO provides warranty of 3 (three) years in compliance with details
