INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL KLCM OIL LEVEL CONTROLLERS WITH ADAPTERS
(INCLUDING HIGH PRESSURE MODELS)
Note: For fire safe oil level controllers (LCM-FS) see additional instructions in this work sheet covering installation of fire safe
valves.
I. SWITCH SPECIFICATIONS:
Figure 1: Model LCM Switch Wire Color Code
Note: Switch trip point is factory set at a ¾” drop . For adjustment instructions, please consult the factory.
II. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OIL INLET VALVE:
• Connect the oil supply line to the oil inlet on the oil level controller. The minimum recommended supply line is ¾” I.D. The
supply line must be clean and it is recommended that it be flushed with solvent before installation.
• Connect the oil supply line to the oil supply tank. If there is no existing valve at the tank or the existing supply outlet, a shut-off
valve should be placed in the line to prevent oil loss when cleaning the inlet screen or filter.
• For high pressure models HP-A, pressure range must be between 5 psi and 34 psi. For high pressure units HP-B , pressure
range must be between 35 psi and 70 psi.
• The oil inlet valve is adjusted to maintain the oil level at the center of the sight glass. Low or high levels are often caused by
two problems:
1. Excessive oil inlet pressure, which will cause the unit to overfill.
2. Improper equalizing lines between the crankcase and the controller will also result in improper levels.
Note: Low pressure models require a minimum of 2’ of head pressure and a maximum of 15’ of oil inlet head pressure.
III. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNITS WITH ADAPTERS:
OIL LEVEL CONTROLLERS WITH –1 (Clark MA & CFA) –2 (Clark HMB & TMB), -3 (Clark RA, HRA, HBA, HCA, HLA,
TLA), -6 (Cooper-Bessemer GMW), -7 (Cooper-Bessemer GMV), -8 (Cooper-Bessemer GMX), -16, -16-R, -16-6.25 (Cooper-
Bessemer BMV & 275) AND FS OPTIONS
• Remove the visual oil gauge assembly from the engine and replace it with the oil level controller and adapter assembly supplied
with a gasket and mounting bolts when applicable.
OIL LEVEL CONTROLLERS WITH –4 (Ingersoll-Rand SVG & KVS), -5 (Ingersoll-Rand KVG) AND FS OPTIONS
• Remove the visual oil gauge assembly from the engine and replace it with the oil level controller and adapter assembly supplied
with a gasket and mounting bolts when applicable.
• If an equalizing exists for the engine sight glass and detach the equalizing line from the sight glass while still attached to the
engine.
• Install the oil controller and then reattach the equalizing line to the vent located at the top of the adapter.
Note: It is important to insure that there are no loops in this line for it must be trap free and self draining.
