Carlo Gavazzi PD30 Photo Electric Switch

Anderson-Bolds provides Carlo Gavazzi PD30 Photo Electric Devices

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce the expansion of the popular range of PD30 miniature photoelectric sensors. The PD30 Basic Series features improved accuracy and a simplified set-up via potentiometer. It also adds a background suppression version for diffuse sensing applications.

The background suppression version uses a brand new Active Pixel Sensor 64x1 CMOS array which improves the accuracy of the detection of different colors by measuring the angle of the returned light, rather than the strength. This allow for a tighter gap between the sensing target and the background. These sensors are designed for applications where high precision detection in a compact area is required, thus allowing users to obtain an excellent size to performance ratio.

The PD30 Basic Series fits seamlessly into most material handling, packaging, pharmaceutical and parts detection applications, providing a high quality, economical solution. The PD30 Basic Series shares many of the same great features of the PD30 ‘Teach-in” Series, including:

Industry standard 10x20x30 mm housing
Excellent sensing distance in a small housing, with ranges up to 15 meters
PNP/NPN & normally open/normally closed outputs
Robust IP67 rating
Dual LEDs for power and signal indication
Simplified set-up via potentiometer

Copper Sheath Immersion Heaters

Screw Plug Immersion Heaters with Copper Sheath for Heating Water.

Anderson-Bolds has been providing electric heating elements for heating water since 1934.  The first choice in heaters for industrial accounts to heat water tanks are screw plug electric immersion heaters.  The Screw Plug is easily installed via an NPT fitting in the tank wall.  The heater should be located near the bottom of the tank as when the heater is on it creates a convection within the tank.  The heater heats by conduction, or contact with the media.  But as water is heated or warmed by the immersed elements the warm water rises to the top of the tank.  The water below the heating element in a tank will not be heated.  Copper is the preferred sheath material for heating water.  Copper has the best heat transfer capability but also the lowest max temperature of about 750 degrees F.  Level control and temperature control can be critical to keeping the elements from burning out.  If the tank drains to expose the heaters and they are energized, they will fail quickly.  Air is a poor heat conductor and thus the elements will quickly heat up to over 350 degrees.  An element on an electric range is made of Incoloy, when the element turns red, the temperature is about 1250 degrees F.

Screw plug immersion heaters consist of tubular elements in a threaded hex plug. Some models are provided with a thermowell for the temperature control sensor and a variety of electrical enclosures for electrical connections. They screw directly through threaded openings in tank walls to heat liquids, viscous fluids, forced air, and gases by direct contact.

Chromalox MT and ARMT series Screw Plug Immersion heaters ( 2-1/2 inch plugs) with copper sheath are available in the below types or styles.

Screw Plug Immersion Heaters can have NEMA 1 housing or general purpose housing for in plant use.
Screw Plug Immersion Heaters can have Moisture resistant housing for wet locations, indoors or outdoors.
Screw Plug Immersion Heaters can have Explosion Resistant housing for hazardous rated areas.

Screw Plug Immersion heaters can also have Thermostats built into the enclosure.  the Thermostats can handle up to 22 AMPS.  If three phase or above 22 amps, a three pole contactor will be required to switch on the heating elements.

“CONCENTRIC MAGNETIC” DESIGN is a Penberthy ADVANTAGE !!

Rugged, Versatile Options for a Wide Range of Applications

Penberthy MULTIVIEW™ Magnetic Liquid Level Gages utilize a communicating chamber constructed of 2-1/2" pipe which is connected to the process tank with either side or end connections. A float with a self-enclosed magnet is custom sized and weighted to float at the surface of the process liquid to be monitored. The float is then installed in the communicating chamber.

The industry-unique concentric magnet in Penberthy MULTIVIEW™ gages provides a more consistent magnetic field than conventional magnet designs.

Penberthy offers a wide range of materials, including:

• 304/304L STS
• 316/316L STS

Follower Style Indicator by Penberthy

In MG Follower-Type models, the unit consists of a hermetically-sealed tube in a protective view housing. Within this tube is a gold anodized aluminum follower which will mirror level changes in the process tank. This entire assembly is attached to the communicating chamber where the follower is magnetically coupled with the float. Because the follower and float are magnetically linked, liquid level changes in the process tank will cause both float and follower to rise and fall in unison. The result is a precise indication of the liquid level within the vessel.

Flag Style Indicator by Penberthy

MG Flag-Type monitors provide a more secure link between the indicator and float. The view housing is sealed and consists of a single column assembly of aluminum flags within an extruded aluminum channel. These flags are anodized with black on one side and gold on the other. Each flag houses a small magnet and is assembled on a single, individual axle. As the float in the communicating chamber rises and falls, the magnetic interaction between float and flag magnets cause the flags to rotate 180°. These changes are shown through contrasting colors – black above and gold below the liquid level.  To insure trouble-free operation, Penberthy's flags are magnetically interlocked and utilize mechanical stops. This prevents over-rotation. Penberthy's redundant axle system prevents binding, with each flag allowed to rotate on the axle and each axle free to rotate in the channel. This method of indication is always accurate, regardless of the speed of process level change or vibration.

THE FOLLOWING MAGNETIC LEVEL INDICATOR FEATURES PROVIDE APPLICATION VERSATILITY THAT OTHER PRODUCTS CAN NOT MATCH:

• PRESSURES: FULL VACUUM TO 2250 PSIG (900# ANSI)

The Penberthy MULTIVIEWTM unit consists of three major sections:

Communicating Chamber

The standard chamber consists of 2 1⁄2" Schedule 10 or Schedule 40 pipe constructed of 304/304L STS, 316/316L STS, Alloy 20®, Monel®, Hastelloy C®, PVC, CPVC, PVDF or Halar® lined. Other chamber materials such as Inconel® 625 and Titanium may also be used.

Float

The float is constructed of 316L STS, Titanium, Alloy 20®, Monel®, Hastelloy C®, PVC, CPVC, PVDF or Halar® coated. It is specifically weighted for the specific gravity of the process media.

Indicator

You have three indicator options available. The type you receive was determined at the time of purchase.

A. Follower style with stainless steel housing. This indicator consists of a hermetically sealed borosilicate tube contained in stainless steel housing. A gold colored follower is located inside the tube.

The scale assembly is an integral part of the stainless steel housing. The scale can be specified to indicate any unit of measure.

B. Follower style with extruded aluminum housing

This indicator consists of a hermetically sealed borosilicate tube contained in extruded aluminum housing. A gold colored follower is located inside the tube.

The scale assembly is a separate aluminum extrusion attached to the indicator. It is possible to receive an indicator with no scale attached. If a scale is specified, it can indicate any unit of measure and be mounted on either side of the indicator.

C. Flag style

This indicator consists of a series of magnetically interlocked flags. The flags are black on one side and gold colored on the other. As the float rises the flags rotate, turning from black to gold. The flag assembly is sealed within extruded aluminum housing.

The scale assembly is a separate aluminum extrusion attached to the indicator. It is possible to receive an indicator with no scale attached. If a scale is specified, it can indicate any unit of measure and be mounted on either side of the indicator.

Basic Mag Gage Installation Instructions

2.1 General Length:  

Minimum is 20 7/16th inches and maximum is 258 inches overall, centers are 4.25 min and 236 max.

3.1 Unpacking

Upon receipt of your Penberthy MULTIVIEWTM unit, check all components carefully for damage incurred in shipping. If damage is evident or suspected, do not attempt installation. Notify the carrier immediately and request a damage inspection. Check each item against the packing list.

The float is not in the communicating chamber when shipped. Make sure that you do not throw the float away with the packing materials. The float should not be installed until the communicating chamber has been mounted to the process vessel.

To install the float, remove the bottom flange from the communicating chamber. Insert the float top first. That end of the float has been identified with a piece of removable orange tape and the word "top" etched into the float. Place the gasket over the spring on the bottom flange and reinstall.

3.2 Mounting

1. To operate properly, the magnetic liquid level meter must be vertical.

2. Check the vessel connections with a plumb line to verify alignment. The vessel must be free from dirt and debris to avoid malfunction of the level indicator.

3. A minimum distance of 8" (203 mm) should be maintained from the centerline of the communicating chamber to the nearest source of ferromagnetic material.

4. Special handling and installation precautions must be used with long magnetic level gages. This applies to any magnetic gage 10 feet (3 meters) or more in length. Do not attempt to handle or move with single point suspension or by both end suspension (such as two people picking up a gage by the ends). The standpipe must be supported along its entire length.

"Whipping" is highly probable unless the standpipe is supported along its entire length during handling/installation. Raising a long standpipe from the horizontal (shipping) to vertical (installation) plane will cause elastic bending unless additional support is provided.

Typical damages to the visual indicators caused by mishandling

Follower style The glass tube can be stressed beyond its tensional limits and break or shatter if the standpipe is allowed to whip or bend.

Flag style The component parts of this indicator have close tolerances. If the standpipe is allowed to whip or bend during handling and/or installation, there is an extremely high probability that certain flags will 'hang up' (not rotate properly) thereby providing incorrect indication.

5. PVC, CPVC & PVDF magnetic liquid level meters are shipped without the indicator attached. This is done to prevent damage to the indicator. DO NOT attempt to install the communicating chamber with the indicator attached.

6. It is strongly recommended that shutoff devices (gagecocks, sliders, cocks) be installed between the vessel and the communicating chamber to allow the magnetic gage to be isolated for cleaning.

7. Before start-up verify that the communicating chamber is free of any particles.

3.3 Indicator Alignment

To change the direction the indicator is facing, loosen the clamps holding the indicating to the communicating chamber, rotate the indicator to the position desired, and tighten the clamps. To align the indicator use the following procedure:

Follower Style

1. Loosen the clamps holding the indicator to the communicating chamber. Move the indicator down as far as it will go.

2. Lower the liquid level in the communicating chamber until: a. Side Connection

the liquid is at the bottom feed level. b. End Connection

the indicator stops moving. Then add liquid to the chamber until the float just becomes buoyant (the indicator will start to move upward).

3. Move the indicator so that the centerline on the magnetic follower is aligned with "zero" on the calibrated scale. If you do not have a scale the bottom of the follower should just touch the cushion in the bottom of the hermetically sealed tube.

4. Tighten the clamps.

Flag Style

1. Loosen the clamps holding the indicator to the communicating chamber. Move the indicator down as far as it will go.

2. Lower the liquid level in the communicating chamber until: a. Side Connection

the liquid is at the bottom feed level. b. End Connection

the indicator stops moving. Then add liquid to the chamber until the float just becomes buoyant (the indicator will start to move upward).

3. Move the indicator until the last visible gold flag has rotated to black. This will be the third flag from the bottom. (two flags are hidden behind the nameplate) Be careful not to raise the indicator too far.

4. Tighten the clamps.

4.0 Start-Up

1. Check the connections between the communicating chamber and the vessel to insure proper mating.

2. Close the drain plug (or drain cock if applicable).

3. Open the shut off valve at the top connection.

4. Slowly open the shutoff valve at the bottom connection to allow for a gradual equalization of level in the communicating chamber.

5. Check for any leaks at the connections. If none are observed, the unit is ready for use.

5.0 Periodic Maintenance

Your Penberthy Magnetic Level Meter is designed to give you years of reliable service. However, equipment failure can occur. Sound maintenance practices require periodic inspection of the gage to ensure it is in good working order.

The end user must determine the appropriate maintenance schedule based upon his or her experience for the specific application. Realistic maintenance schedules can only be determined with full knowledge of the services and applications involved.

Do not proceed with any maintenance if the magnetic gage is still at operating pressure or temperature. Relieve the unit of pressure or vacuum, allow it to reach ambient temperature, and purge or drain it of all fluids. Failure to follow instructions could result in severe personal injury or property damage.

If the process liquid is dirty or contains deposits, it is recommended to flush the instrument periodically.

To flush the communicating chamber, close the shutoff valves, open the drain plug (or drain cock), and flush. If the float requires cleaning, the bottom flange must be removed after the shutoff devices are closed.
