Liquid Level Switch for ORCAIIA - PN 3500103

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installation:
The L-30 Liquid Level Switch is supplied with a 1-1/2 or 1-1/4 x 1 bushing threaded in place with 2 to 3 wraps of teflon
tape, which must be intact or renewed if bushing and switch are separated before assembly in tank. Care must be
exercised when threading the bushing into plastic or metal fittings. Apply a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 3 wraps of
teflon tape to threds of bushing - this is especially important if unit is to be used in metal fittings where coarse METAL
THREADS could gall plastic if not lubricated. The plastic bushing CAN BE CRACKED if the main body of the flow switch
is tightened into it FIRST. Cracking will not occur if the bushing is FIRST tightened into the pipe or tank fitting and THEN
the L-30 body is tightened into the bushing.
Thus:
1). Teflon tape thread and tighten plastic bushing into pipe or tank fitting.
2). Teflon tape thread and tighten L-30 switch into PLASTIC bushing by applying wrench to hexagon section.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until ARROW on body points to UPWARD and threas are leak tight.
Plumbers tools such as pipe wrenches are not recommended. If possible, use a Rigid type wrench where the smooth
jaws closely fit the hexagon section.

Electrical Wiring:
Step 1: Remove gland nut, grommet and switch cover.
Step 2: Strip outer jacket of electrical cord back approximately 1-1/4" inches. Strip insulation from individual
conductors back approximately 1/4 inch.
Step 3: Slip on terminals are supplied with each switch. Remove from switch terminals and crimp on or solder to
electrical leads.
Step 4: Feed electrical cable through gland nut, grommet and switch cover as shown.

Step 5: Apply slip on terminals to appropriate contacts of microswitch. Slide cover down cable and fasten to body of
switch with 4 screws provided. Slide grommet down cable until outer jacket is level with small end of grommet
per illustration page 2.Push grommet into tapered end of cover. Hold cable jacket to prevent rotation and thread
gland nut firmly onto cover.
Fig. 1: Wiring schematic for power applied to
load when liquid level is less than set point
(power to load interrupted when level
increases to above set point).

Fig 2: Wiring schematic for power applied to

load when liquid level is greater than set point
(power to load interrupted when level
decreases to below set point).
Increasing Liquid Level moves actuator in
direction shown.

Decreasing Liquid Level moves actuator in

direction shown.

Micro switch actuation point may be monitored by an audible click or with an OHM meter before connecting line power to
the terminal strip or by monitoring the voltage supplied to the load through the micro switch.
