INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR THE MAGNA-SITE

(THE MAGNETIC LEVEL GAUGE FROM KENCO)

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The Kenco Magna-Site is a magnetic liquid level gauge used to determine

the volume of liquid within a vessel. Because the Magna-Site eliminates

the need for glass, high-pressure applications and hazardous locations are

protected from the danger of a chemical spill due to glass failure.

The Kenco Magna-Site utilizes 3 major components: the gauge housing

chamber, the magnetic float, and the magnetic flag assembly.

The Gauge Housing Chamber is mounted adjacent to the side of the tank

vessel. It is constructed to withstand the same temperatures and

pressures as the tank itself. It is equipped with the appropriate tank

mounting connections for easy installation and to allow equalization of

liquid level in tank and gauge.

Inside the Gauge Housing Chamber is the magnetic float, which contains

radially positioned magnets to provide a 360 degree magnetic flux field.

Each float is internally weighted based on the liquid’s specific gravity so

that the liquid level in the gauge coincides with the location of the magnets

inside the float.

Attached to the Gauge Housing Chamber is the magnetic flag assembly.

This is the visual means of liquid level indication for the Kenco Magna-Site.

The assembly is made up of a series of bi-colored fluorescent flags. As the

magnetic float rises and falls with the liquid level in the gauge housing

chamber, a magnet embedded in each flag reacts to the 360 degree

magnetic flux of the float. This repelling magnetic force causes each flag

to rotate 180 degrees. The flags below the magnetic flux of the float will flip

to fluorescent green, while those flags above the float level will remain

white.
