Operation and MaintenanceSeries 1001A and 1001XL Liquid Level ControllersINSTALLATION AND STARTUP – STARTUPNorriseal level controllers are normally shipped in threepieces. Therefore, some assembly is required. Thefollowing sections will lead you through assembly andrecommended start-up procedure.Assembly Steps:1. Screw displacer arm into controller body.2. Screw displacer onto displacer arm.Arm Adjustment:Rock Torque Bar by hand to verify Arm is NOT restingagainst vessel nozzle. (Arm must be reasonably centeredin connection opening). Turn Adjusting Knob underBalance Spring to position Arm.To Lower Level:Turn Adjusting Knob CLOCKWISE to increasecompression on Balance Spring.To Raise Level:Turn Adjusting Knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE todecrease compression on Balance Spring.To Adjust Proportional Band (Span):Loosen Screw in Sensitivity Fulcrum and slide Fulcrumalong Flapper Bar. To DECREASE Proportional Band(INCREASES SENSITIVITY) slide Fulcrum towardSnap Ring. To INCREASE Proportional Band(DECREASES SENSITIVITY) slide Fulcrum awayfrom Snap Ring.Maintained by: Sales Department Page 9 of 21 Doc.

Series 1001A and 1001XL Liquid Level ControllersOperation and MaintenanceOPERATION – PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONPrinciple of OperationA spring balances theweight of a displacementtype sensing element. Asliquid rises around thedisplacer, the amount offorce made available tothe pilot is proportional tothe volume of liquiddisplaced by the displacer.The higher the liquidlevel, the greater the forceavailable to the pilot thrustpin. This direct-acting force is easily reversed in the field.The force available is transmitted to the pilot thrust pinthrough a lever and fulcrum. The control is direct acting(rising level increases pilot output) when the pivot point ofthe lever is on the spring side of the control case.The control is reverse acting when the pivot point is on theopposite side of the control case from the spring (rising leveldecreases pilot output).Adjusting Proportional Band:Moving the fulcrum closer to the pivot point increases theproportional band*; moving the fulcrum toward the snapring decreases the proportional band. A 3-15 psi or 6-30 psioutput signal may be obtained over any portion of thedisplacer by adjusting the fulcrum as described.Top Level Control:With spring force heldconstant, the higher theliquid level on the displacer,the greater becomes theforce available to the pilot.When spring force isreduced (by decompressingthe spring), a higher levelon the displacer is requiredto produce the same force asbefore.Liquid Interface Control:Spring compression can bereduced to a further positionwhere a hydrocarbon liquidlevel will rise above thedisplacer.This wide spring rangemakes the control of aliquid interface possiblewith the standard displacer.The adjustment is usuallymade as the lighter liquidrises on the displacer.After the spring is adjustedso the lighter liquid will notoperate the control, there isadequate spring force inreserve to enabledisplacement of the heavierliquid to actuate the pilot.• Proportional band is the ratio of used displacerlength to total length of displacer. Example: If sixinches of level change will develop a 3-15 psioutput signal with a 12" long vertical displacer, thelevel controller is said to have a 50% proportionalband.Maintained by: Sales Department Page 10 of 21 Doc.

Operation and MaintenanceSeries 1001A and 1001XL Liquid Level ControllersOPERATION – PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION, SNAP PILOT, RELIEF PILOT AND THROTTLE PILOTSnap PilotThe snap pilot is comprisedof two metal seated valves -one at "D" to admit pilotsupply pressure, and one at"C" to exhaust pressure.Ball "A" controls the flow ofinstrument air into the pilotat seat "D" and is heldclosed with force exerted bysupply pressure on theseating area of the ball.When the upwardmechanical force transmittedto thrust pin "B" is sufficientto overcome the forceholding ball "A" seated, "A"snaps upward allowinginstrument air to flow past "A" and to the output port "H" ofthe pilot.The spherical end of thrust pin "B" closes the exhaust port at"C" the instant ball "A" snaps upward. The exhaust portseating area is smaller than the seating area of the supplyport; therefore, the push rod must remain seated againstsupply pressure until force on the thrust pin "B" diminishes.As the force acting on thrust pin "B" is reduced the supplypressure acting downward on ball "A" overcomes theupward force at thrust pin "B" and reversing action occurs.ball "A" closes the supply pressure at valve "D" andsimultaneously opens the exhaust port at valve "C"; thusventing gas from port "H". The Snap Action results from thedifferences in seating areas of the two internal pilot valves.Relief PilotThe relief pilot used in Block &Bleed systems operatesidentically to the snap pilot,except with two differences.Seat "D" has an added resilientseat "F" and flow passage at "G"is enlarged. The seat seal "F" isan elastromeric o-ring whichgives air absolute "zero leakage"seal of the supply pressure at ball"A". Just as in the snap pilot,when mechanical forcetransmitted through thrust pin"B" exceeds the downward forceof the supply pressure at seat"D", ball "A" snaps upwardallowing instrument air to flow past ball "A" and to port "H".The flow passage at "G" has a 43% larger flow capacity thanthe snap pilot; thus permitting instrument supply air to ventat a faster rate. The pilot valves will reset when mechanicalforce is reduced.The relief pilot cannot be converted into snap or throttleapplication.Throttling PilotThe throttle pilot, used formodulating control, also utilizestwo internal valves ("D" and "C")to admit and exhaust air pressure.A diaphragm "E" used inconjunction with the valve at "C"creates a chamber for sensingpressure/force feedback.When a mechanical force pushesupward on thrust rod at "B", thevalve at "C" is closed andsimultaneously opens valve "D"allowing instrument air to flowinto the chamber above diaphragm"E" and to output "H". The aircontinues flowing until theincreasing pressure builds afeedback force on diaphragm "E"that pushes downward equalizing the upward force appliedto thrust rod "B". These balanced forces are the reason tothe term "Force Balance."The throttle pilot works in the same manner as the snap pilotexcept the output pressure is proportional the mechanicalforce applied at push rod "B". As the push rod forcechanges, the pilot seeks to maintain equilibrium by eitherdecreasing (exhausting) output loading pressure at valve "C"or increasing output loading pressure at valve "D".Instrument air does not flow when the loading pressures ofthe pilot are balanced.Maintained by: Sales Department Page 11 of 21 Doc.

Operation and MaintenanceSeries 1001A and 1001XL Liquid Level ControllersOPERATION – CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS, CASE MOUNTING AND ACTION CONVERSIONS (continued)OPERATION – MAINTENANCEPreventive Maintenance1. In normal service o-ring and bearings on main shaftshould last for many years. If leak does occur,replace o-rings.2. If controller is used in high paraffin service orinterface control with horizontal displacer, removeand inspect body of controller after three (3)months from installation and check for debris buildup. Inspection time after initial inspection can begaged by how much build up of debris occurred inthree (3) months.3. For high temperature service, consult yourNorriseal Catalog. If in doubt of compatibility offluid with Norriseal Controller, consult yourNorriseal Representative.Basic Electric SwitchThe following are instructions for replacing the electricswitch:1. IMPORTANT - Disconnect the power supplycircuit before opening switch.2. Remove the cover of the housing, disconnect thelead-in wires, loosen the screws holding the basicswitch, and then remove the basic switch.3. Place the replacement switch in the insulator, insertthe screws and place basic switch in the housing.Switches with "MN" basics have no separateinsulator.4. Tighten the screws and connect the lead-in wires.5. Be sure the small compression spring is returned toits position between the top of the basic switch andthe internal lever (or above the internal lever in thecase of the CCW actuated switches).CAUTIONTo prevent the emission of hot particles, joint surfaces mustbe thoroughly cleaned before closing cover.ATTENTIONPout empecher la projection de particles chaudes, les jointsdu couvercle doivent etre nettoyes a fond avant de fermer lecouvercle.Maintained by: Sales Department Page 16 of 21 Doc.

Operation and MaintenanceSeries 1001A and 1001XL Liquid Level ControllersWARNING SIGNAL IMMEDIATE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTIONSpring is too compressed and puts too 1. Back off spring retainer until outputmuch pressure on torque bar.pressure signal goes off. RecheckDisplacer is set too high or displacer is when fluid rises.hitting something inside vessel.Pilot output pressure gage indicated outputpressure signal when fluid level is belowdisplacer on a direct acting* controller.2. Check displacer arm by movingleveling bar up and down. If levelingbar will move in only one direction,this indicates displacer arm is riding ateither the top or bottom of vesselconnection. By turning thumb screwdisplacer arm can be re-centered invessel connection.Fluid level above displacer and pressuregage indicates no output signal for a directacting* control.Controller does not repeat at same fluidlevel after each dump and sometimes fails toeither dump or shut off.Spring is not compressed enough.Displacer arm is set too low.Paraffin or debris build up inside level controlbody.1. Turn spring retainer which willcompress spring. Turn until an outputsignal is indicated by showing pressureon the output pressure gage. Outputpressure should go off when fluid leveldrops down to the displacer'scontrollable range.2. Same as in (2) above.Remove controller from service and cleanout pilot body with a solvent. You canusually tell there is a build up of paraffin ordebris by depressing the torque bar and thereleasing it quickly. If bar does not bouncefast and appears to hardly move, this is agood indication of a build up of foreignmatter in controller body in which displacerarm cannot move freely.Pneumatic pilot bleeds air continuously. 1. Foreign matter under ball on snapcontrol pilot or under peanut on throttlepilot.2. TRU arc ring on snap pilot thrust pincould have slipped down due to someunusual happening.Remove supply and output tubingconnections from pipe adapters in pilot.Remove the two (2) cap screws from the topof housing case that support pilot in place.Remove pilot from case and then remove thetwo (2) cap screws from bottom of pilot.Clean pilot thoroughly and reassembly forthrottle pilot. For snap pilot, check the TruArc dimension from the bottom of in tobottom of Tru Arc. Dimension should be3/4". If not correct dimension, tap to correctmeasurement.Interface control; occasionally loses liquidor vessel overflows. Usually happens withtemperature change. Displacer arm is freeand displacer is not hitting inside of vessel.Displacer is not big enough to handleinterface differential. Close specific gravityof two fluids and a temperature change cancause this problem.Exact specific gravities or API gravity ofboth fluids should be given to NorrisealEngineering Department for exact sizing ofrequired displacer size on close gravityfluids*For indirect Acting Controllers follow the same corrective procedures for direct acting controller.
