Model 715 • Displacer Switch, Top Inserted, Single Point Features Single switch station activation Provides high or low alarm for liquid level or interface position Suitable for floating roof type tanks Optional brass displacer Optional ground level checker Description The Model 715 Top Displacer Switch provides activation of a single switch station as the liquid level surface rises past the elevation at which the displacer has been positioned. Similarly the switch station is deactivated as the liquid level falls below the displacer. Operation is based on liquid displacement. A displacer, which is more dense than the process liquid is supported by a spring. The length of the spring is proportional to the amount of weight that it supports— the less the weight, the longer the spring will be. When liquid covers a displacer, an amount of weight, equal to the weight of the process liquid displaced, is removed from the spring and is supported by the process liquid. The spring length is proportionally increased and the attractor is moved up into the field of a switch station magnet. The magnet is pulled in against the outside of the sealing tube and the output switch is activated. Similarly, when the process fluid uncovers the displacer, the liquid weight equal to the volume of the displacer is transferred back to the spring. The length of the spring decreases to its original length and the attractor is pulled out of the field of the magnet. The magnet is pulled back to its original position and the output switch de-actuates. For floating roof type tanks, the 715 may be used to detect the position of the roof. The 715 may be equipped with a lead weight instead of a displacer. It is positioned above the top of a floating roof tank, the roof lifts the weight as it rises, triggering an alarm switch, warning that the roof has traveled to the limit.
