Models T5x & T6x

Product catalog summary
Description: Magnetrol® side mounting controls are designed for horizontal installation on tanks or vessels using threaded or flanged connections. Standard models feature a single switch mechanism for high or low-level alarms or control, while tandem models offer two-stage applications.
Features:
  • Body materials: Carbon steel or stainless steel
  • Float and trim: 300 series stainless steel
  • Mounting: Threaded or flanged
  • Specific gravity ratings: As low as 0.40
  • Process temperatures: Up to +540 °C (+1000° F)
  • Field-adjustable level differential
  • Switch mechanism options: Dry contact, hermetically sealed, pneumatic
  • Switch mechanism enclosure options: Weatherproof, explosion-proof, intrinsically safe
  • Optional features: NACE construction, interface calibration, special actuating levels, code compliance construction, special tank connections, extreme temperature modifications, special exterior surface preparation and finish
Applications: Suitable for use in day tanks, condensate receivers, fuel storage tanks, cooling towers, flash tanks, and interface applications. They can provide high and high/high alarms from a single tank entry.
Principle of Operation: The side mounting units use permanent magnetic force to link the float and the switching element. The float's movement due to liquid level changes actuates the switch by moving a magnetic sleeve into or out of the field of a switch actuating magnet, isolated by a non-magnetic barrier tube.
Agency Approvals: The models have various approvals including ATEX, FM, IECEx, CSA, and EAC, conforming to directives such as ATEX 2014/34/EU, PED 2014/68/EU, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, and RoHS 2011/65/EU.
Switch Mechanisms and Housings: The document details various series of switches, including hermetically sealed, pneumatic, dry contact, and inductive proximity switches, each with specific temperature ranges and contact configurations. Housing options include die-cast aluminum, cast iron, and stainless steel, with optional heaters and drains.
Selection Data: The document provides detailed specifications for single and dual switch models, including level differentials, float sizes, and pressure ratings. It also includes order codes for different models and configurations.
Specifications:
The document outlines various series of snap switches with different temperature ranges and contact types. These switches are designed for hazardous and safe areas, with weatherproof and ATEX certifications. Materials used include cast aluminum, cast iron, and stainless steel, with different thread types for connections.

Switch Series:
- Series B, C, D, F, U, W, X, R, 8, 9: Each series has specific temperature ranges and contact configurations (SPDT or DPDT). They are designed for different environmental conditions and applications, such as high temperature or hermetically sealed environments.

Physical and Electrical Specifications:
- The switches are designed to measure liquid or interface levels with a minimum specific gravity of 0.40. They are made from carbon steel or stainless steel, with various float sizes and pressure ratings depending on the temperature.
- Electrical specifications include switch ratings up to 15 A at 240 V AC and 10 A at 120 V DC, with options for dry contact, hermetically sealed, and proximity switches.

Dimensions:
- Detailed dimensions are provided for different models, indicating the necessary clearance and housing types.

Quality Assurance and Warranty:
- The document emphasizes the ISO 9001 certified quality assurance system in place, ensuring high-quality design, construction, and service. A three-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, with specific terms and conditions.

Contact Information:
- European Headquarters & Manufacturing Facility located in Zele, Belgium, with contact details provided for further inquiries.

Side mounting units employ permanent magnetic force as the only link between the float and the switching element. As the pivoted float follows liquid level changes, it moves a magnetic sleeve ➀ into or out of the field of a switch actuating magnet ➁ causing switch operation. A nonmagnetic barrier tube ➂ effectively isolates the switch mechanism from the controlled liquid. snap switch falling level return spring rising level
