Product catalog summary
Agency Approvals
The Magnetrol Model J52 refrigerant level switches have received approvals from CSA and FM for non-hazardous environments (TYPE 4X) and specific hazardous classifications.

Description
The J52 model is a float-actuated switch designed for liquids with a specific gravity of 0.60 and above, utilizing Magnetrol's magnetic principle for reliable performance.

Features
  • Temperature range: -50° to +100° F (-46° to +38° C)
  • Maximum working pressure: 400 psig (28 bar)
  • Moisture-sealed housing to prevent frost
  • Field adjustable switch actuation between 0.50 and 1.50 inches
  • Vibration-resistant switch mechanism
  • Various housing options including TYPE 4X steel and TYPE 4 Lexan
  • Compatible with most commercial refrigerants
  • Optional cryogenic insulation available

Model Selection
Models are available for quick shipment through the Expedite Ship Plan (ESP). Connection options include 3/4" NPT and 3/4" Socket Weld with different housing and switch types.

Specifications
  • Rotation clearance for TYPE 4X and TYPE 4X/7/9
  • Actuating liquid specific gravity levels provided
  • Basic electrical ratings for dry contact non-inductive applications

Warranty
Magnetrol offers a five-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship, with repair or replacement provided at no cost other than transportation.

Technology
The switch mechanism involves a permanent magnet attached to a pivoted switch actuator. As the float rises with the liquid level, it actuates the switch by interacting with the magnet, providing a static pressure boundary between the switch mechanism and the process.

Model J52-1

Magnetrol J52 Refrigerant Level Switches DESCRIPTION The Magnetrol Model J52 refrigerant level switches are float actuated units designed for use on liquids with 0.60 specific gravity and above. They utilize the Magnetrol magnetic principle to assure dependable performance. • Temperatures from -50° to +100° F (-46° to +38° C) • Maximum working pressure to 400 psig (28 bar) • Housing is completely sealed against entrance of moisture, preventing internal frost formation • Conduit seal with 24-inch (610 mm) lead wires prevents entrance of moisture laden air into the switch housing • Float chamber is a welded assembly fabricated from two low carbon steel sections and finished with an epoxy coating • High and low level switch actuation is easily field adjustable between 0.50 and 1.50 inches (13 and 38 mm), factory set for 1.50 • Vibration resistant switch mechanism has been specifically developed to provide reliable and trouble free operation Housing cover seal of Viton® A o-ring is used between housing cover and base to provide an air tight seal Housing base can be rotated 360° Baffle plate provided with the switch mechanism to prevent electrical wiring interference Housing choices of TYPE 4X steel, TYPE 4X/7/9 explosion proof, and TYPE 4 transparent Lexan® Used with most commercial refrigerants including ammonia, freon, methyl chloride and sulphur dioxide Models available for quick shipment, usually within one week after factory receipt of a complete purchase order, through the Expedite Ship Plan (ESP). MODEL SELECTION Housing Optional cryogenic insulation available. See bulletin 41-106.

A permanent magnet © is attached to a pivoted switch actuator and adjustment screw ©. As the float © rises following the liquid level, it raises the attraction sleeve © into the field of the magnet, which then snaps against the non-magnetic enclosing tube ©, actuating the switch ©. The enclosing tube provides a static pressure boundary between the switch mechanism and the process. On falling level, a spring retracts the magnet, deactivating the switch. Actuating Levels NOTE: Actuating levels are factory set for maximum differential between switch actuation. Internal adjustment provided for reduced...
