Level Switches Multi-Point

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on GEMS Sensors' multi-point level switches, which are customizable for various applications. These switches are designed to monitor multiple liquid levels within a single tank, offering flexibility and efficiency in liquid level management.
Specifications: The level switches can be configured for custom lengths ranging from 1 to 7 levels, with single lengths extending over 11 feet. They are suitable for monitoring water, diesel, lube oils, chemicals, and petrochemicals. Different series of switches, including LS-300, LS-700, LS-800, and UCL-510, are outlined, each with specific features and applications.
Procedures: The document describes the process of configuring custom length switches, including selecting the appropriate mounting type, electrical connections, and float materials. Guidelines for determining actuation levels and overall unit length are provided.
Standards and Recommendations: The switches are U.L. Recognized and CSA Listed, ensuring compliance with industry standards. It is recommended to contact GEMS Sensors for specific applications, especially when dealing with challenging fluids or unique tank configurations.
Key Features: The UCL-510 series offers non-contact continuous sensing with field-adjustable actuation points. Ultrasonic monitoring technology is highlighted for its accuracy and reliability, particularly in difficult fluid measurement scenarios.
Applications: Typical applications include pump-up/pump-down operations, liquid interface monitoring, and managing chemical emulsions. The versatility of multi-station level switches in monitoring both single and multiple liquid interfaces is emphasized.
Technical Data: Detailed technical specifications for various float materials, operating temperatures, pressure ratings, and specific gravity requirements are included. Dimensional drawings and electrical connection diagrams assist in proper installation and configuration of the switches.
LS-300TFE and LS-350 Series: The LS-300TFE features all-PTFE wetted parts, low particle generation, and corrosion resistance, suitable for semiconductor process equipment and pure chemical delivery systems. The LS-350 combines a siphon tube with up to four liquid level sensors, suitable for immuno-chemistry and laboratory automation.
Mounting Types and Electrical Connections: Various mounting options and electrical connections are available, including leadwire, cable, and liquid-tight cable. Specific configurations for different mounting types are detailed.
Float Types and Electrical Specifications: Single float types are used for all actuation points, with options including PTFE and PVDF for the LS-300TFE, and Buna-N or solid foamed polypropylene for the LS-350. The switches offer SPST configurations with various VA ratings and wiring options for different actuation levels.
Ordering Information: A checklist for ordering specifies product parameters such as mounting type, electrical connections, float type, and actuation level dimensions. Online ordering is available through the Gems Sensors website.
Additional Features: The LS-700 Series offers options for temperature sensing and solid-state relays, with explosion-proof models available for hazardous areas.
LS-700 and LS-800 Series: Designed for hazardous locations, these switches offer various mounting types, float materials, and actuation levels. The LS-800PVC series is highlighted for its economical design and suitability for corrosive liquids.
Temperature Sensing: Optional integrated temperature sensors are available, including thermistors and thermostats, providing continuous indication or switch actuation for temperature control.
Additional Notes: Actuation levels are calibrated on descending fluid levels, with specific tolerances and guidelines for different configurations. Consultation with the factory is advised for specific requirements or configurations not covered in the document.

Level Switches Multi-Point-1

Float Type Multi-Point Custom Length – 1 to 7 Levels GEMS Custom Length level switches are extremely versatile. Within this section you’ll find level switches that are configured to your custom specifications at the GEMS factory. Single Actuation Levels LEVEL SWITCHES – MULTI POINT When one of our Standard Single Level switches doesn’t extend to the length you need, no problem, order a Custom Length single level switch from this section. Specify lengths to over 11 feet. These units also offer you the flexibility of mounting a low, or intermediate level switch from the tank top rather than a bottom or side mounting. Levels. As Lengths to GEMS Custom Length models can be Many as Seven over 11 Feet configured with “up to seven” independent switch actuation levels, depending on the series type. These “multi-station” units offer the most practical way to monitor multiple liquid level points within a single tank. Only a single entry point into the tank is required, and all electrical wiring emanates from a single source. In addition to tracking changing level points of a single liquid within a tank, “multi-station” level switches are ideal for monitoring liquid interfaces and emulsions in vessels simultaneously containing two or more liquids. Contact GEMS with your liquid specifications for further information on this type of application. Typical Application GEMS Custom Length Switches are used to monitor water, diesel or lube oils, chemicals and petrochemicals. Pump-Up/Pump-Down Operations Pump-Up/Pump-Down with Intermediate Level Indication ANNUNCIATOR HIGH LEVEL HIGH LEVEL CONTROLLER INTERMEDIATE LEVELS Using GEMS Custom Length level switches, junction boxes, solid-state relays and annunciators, complete liquid level control systems are easily configured. Liquid Interface Monitoring In addition to monitoring the surface level of liquids, many GEMS Level Switches can be used to sense the interface point between dissimilar liquids sharing the same tank. Monitoring water condensation in fuel storage tanks, and separating chemical emulsions in process systems are two typical application examples. Multi-station level switches can be configured to monitor this interface point in addition to high and low liquid levels. Contact Gems Sensors Inc. with your specific application.
