Description The 249 Series sensors are designed to measure liquid level, interface level, or density/specific gravity inside a process vessel.

This instruction manual includes maintenance, and parts ordering information for the cageless 249 Series sensors.

A torque tube assembly (figure 2) and displacer provide an indication of liquid level, interface level, or density/specific gravity. The torque tube assembly consists of a hollow torque tube with a shaft welded inside it at one end and protruding from it at the other end.

Although a Type 249 sensor is usually shipped with attached controller or transmitter, this manual does not include operation, installation, calibration, maintenance, and parts ordering information for the controller/transmitter or for the complete unit. For this information, refer to the appropriate controller/ transmitter instruction manual.

The unconnected end of the tube is sealed by a gasket and clamped rigidly to the torque tube arm, permitting the protruding end of the shaft to twist and therefore transmit rotary motion. This allows the interior of the torque tube to remain at atmospheric pressure, thus eliminating packing and the disadvantages of packing friction.

Only personnel qualified through training or experience should install, operate, and maintain the sensor and attached controller or transmitter. If there are any

The displacer always exerts a downward force on one end of the displacer rod. The other end of the displacer rod rests on the knife-edge of the driver bearing. A
