B40 Liquid Level Switch
DESCRIPTION
The Magnetrol B40 liquid level switch is specifically designed and constructed for high pressure, high temperature service conditions.
FEATURES
• Choices of chamber materials include carbon steel, stainless steel and chrome-moly • 300 series stainless steel float. • Choice of switch mechanism: Dry contact Hermetically sealed • Minimum specific gravity 0.65 • Choice of switch mechanism enclosure: TYPE 4X polymer coated steel TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div. 1, Groups C & D, polymer coated aluminum or cast iron TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div. 1, Group B, polymer coated aluminum or cast iron • Choice of tank connection: 1" welding nipples 1" or 11⁄2" socket welds
APPLICATIONS
• Accumulators • Receivers • Flare pots
OPTIONS
• ATEX housing
• Scrubbers • Flanged connections • Flash tanks • Temperature extensions • Knock-out drums • Low specific gravity • Storage tanks • Separators
TECHNOLOGY
B40 level switches 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 into or out of the field of a switch actuating magnet causing switch operation. A nonmagnetic barrier tube effectively isolates the switch mechanism from the controlled liquid.

IEC Installation Instructions:
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC Per Harmonized Standard: EN 61010-1/1993 & Amendment No. 1
The cable entry and closing devices shall be Ex d certified suitable for the conditions of use and correctly installed. For ambient temperatures above +55° C or for process temperatures above +150° C, suitable heat resistant cables shall be used. Heat extensions (between process connection and housing) shall never be insulated. Special conditions for safe use: When the equipment is installed in process temperatures higher than +85° C the temperature classification must be reduced according to the following table as per IEC60079-0. Maximum Process Temperature < 85° C < 100° C < 135° C < 200° C < 300° C < 450° C Temperature Classification T6 T5 T4 T3 T2 T1 These units are in conformity with IECEx KEM 05.0020X Classification Ex d IIC T6 Tambient -40° to +70° C
