LS200NDVOR LS200NDVOR is a float-activated, pneumatic-vent level device used to operate dump valves or similar devices. The LS200NDVOR provides a 2-inch NPT mounting with a pneumatic output for interfacing with pneumatic devices such as our Murphy pneumatic dump valve or with other pneumatic instrumentation.
LS200NDVO Shown below is the Pneumatic level switch with Dump Valve Operator (DVO) without the pressure regulator (for those applications where the system provides a filter regulator for instrument-quality air or gas as the control medium). LS200NDVO pneumatic level switch with dump valve operator LS200N Shown below is the Pneumatic level switch without the DVO and filter regulator.
Pressure Vessel Installation: LS200 and LS200N Direct Installation into the Wall of the Pressure Vessel CAUTION: Determine that the float travel is not obstructed by the coupling in the vessel wall, internal baffles, etc. Refer to tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 for application data. Make certain the float and extension are tight.
Installation with a Weld Collar The weld collar, P/N 15050375, must be welded into the wall of the pressure vessel according to code standards and good welding practices. Follow above instructions for installation directly into the wall of the pressure vessel. NOTE: Weld collar 15050375 can be used ONLY with model LS200.
Installation and Adjustment for Pneumatic Models All pneumatic models operate on the vent principle. The pneumatic signal source must be clean, dry, instrument-quality air or natural gas. The input pneumatic signal must be regulated between 30 and 70 psi (207-483 kPa) [2 -4.83 bar]. If produced gas is used as the signal source, it should be taken after gas passes through the final scrubber.
Replacing and Installing the DVO Assembly NOTE: When replacing/installing the DVO assembly, tubing and fitting modifications may be required. We suggest removing the LS200NDVO/DVOR from the vessel. Relieve pressure from the vessel or use block valves before removing the LS200NDVO/DVOR. Models LS200NDVO &...
