SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
About this Manual: PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANU-
AL PRIOR TO INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT. This
manual includes information on the Smart Trak™ with Compact
Relay Controller: AU23-43__, AZ23-43__ and AV23-34__. The
units are identical except for the number of switch points and the
sensors technology.
User's Responsibility for Safety: Flowline manufactures
a wide range of liquid level sensors, controllers, and mounting sys-
tems. It is the user's responsibility to select components that are
appropriate for the application, install them properly, perform tests
of the installed system, and maintain all components. The failure to
do so could result in property damage or serious injury.
Proper Installation and Handling: Use a proper sealant
with all installations. Never overtighten the components. Always
check for leaks prior to system start-up.
Material Compatibility:
Glass filled Polypropylene (PP, a polyolefin): Track, end cap, wire
retainer clips, bayonet adapter, level switch and sensor car for all
Smart Trak Assemblies.
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE, a fluoroplastic): Sensor car
locking bolt and screw.
Polypropylene (PP, a polyolefin): Sensor, top compression fitting,
thrust plate, locking pin and 2" NPT fitting.
Viton (a fluorocarbon): O-ring.
Neoprene (w/silicon gel for lubrication): Wire gasket.
Santoprene (w/silicon gel for lubrication): Seal plug.
Make sure that the application liquids are compatible with the
materials that will be wetted. To determine the chemical compati-
bility between the components and its application liquids, refer to
the Compass Corrosion Guide, available from Compass
Publications (phone 858-589-9636).
Temperature and Pressure: Smart Trak™ is designed for
use in application temperatures up to 90° C (194° F). It is not
designed for pressurized applications due to the wiring that must
travel through a gasket at the head.
Wiring and Electrical: Electrical wiring of any liquid level
control system should be performed in accordance with all applic-
able national, state, and local codes. Take care not to cut or break
the outer insulation jacket of wiring that may be immersed while
routing cables in the Smart Trak™ system. Such breaks of the liq-
uid seal of the sensor system may lead to component failure.
Flammable, Explosive and Hazardous Applications:
The AU23-43__, AZ23-43__ and AV23-34__ Smart Trak™ should
not be used within classified hazardous environments.
Make a Fail-Safe System: Design a fail-safe system that
accommodates the possibility of system or power failure. In criti-
cal applications, Flowline recommends the use of redundant back-
up systems and alarms in addition to the primary system.
About Smart Trak™: Flowline’s Smart Trak™ with Compact
Relay Controller Assembly is an adjustable mounting system for
installing two level sensors vertically within a tank. Mounted through
a single point at the top of the tank, both sensors can be adjusted in the
field. The compact relay controller features a 120/240 VAC latched
controller with a 250 VAC, 10A SPDT relay contract. Smart Trak™
mounts vertically through a standard 2" NPT tank adapter, or on a side
mount bracket (such as the LM50-1001). Unlike prefabricated “trees”
or pipes, Smart Trak™ allows you to experiment with sensor position
to account for variations in the point of actuation of each sensor dur-
ing process testing.
Track: The track itself is approximately 1" square, and is from 8”
to 10' long depending on the A-Dimension. The track may be cut to
length if desired. Four separate grooves run the length of the track,
one on each side of the square. These grooves hold the sensor cars that
attach to Flowline sensors, and also serve to contain the switch cable.
The bottom of the track is capped with an end cap.
Relay Controller: Both level switches
are pre-wired before shipment to the 4-pole
terminal strip [Input 1A (+) & (-) & Input 1B
(+) & (-)]. The switch technologies used to
indicate level are either Ultrasonic, Buoyancy
or Vibration. The Compact Relay Controller
provides a 1/2” Conduit connection and 6
poles for wire termination of power and relay
contact. Use the AC, AC and GND terminals
for providing power. Use the NC, NC and
COM terminals for interfacing to the relay
contact.
