1.0 Introduction 3.0 Operation The LMS100 is a magnetically actuated single pole, double throw The LMS100 consists of a form C reed switch and a magnet. switch. When the LMS100 is mounted on a KM26 Magnetic The reed switch uses precious metal contacts in an inert gas at- Level Gauge, LS Series Cage Level switch or an External Cham- mosphere sealed by glass to metal bond.
4.1 Standard Mounting The following procedure outlines the steps necessary to install the switch: Mount the switch to the chamber where you want the switch to trip. The switch should be mounted 90° from the indicator assembly to insure optimum magnetic coupling. The float must be cycled past the switch in both directions to insure that the switch will operate properly when put into service.
5.0 Installation WARNING! SERVICE TEMPERATURE OF THE LMS100 IS DEPENDENT ON PROCESS TEMPERATURE, MOUNTING METHOD, AND INSULATION USAGE. REFER TO THE TABLE BELOW TO DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM SAFE PROCESS TEMPERATURE FOR EACH APPROVED COMBINATION OF INSULATION AND MOUNTING. Mounting Insulation Max Process Standard (A1) None (Y0)

The LMS100’s reed switch core assembly is field replace- able. In the event of a failure, a replacement can be ordered through an ABB sales representative by referencing part number 3KXL130100L0001. Reed Switch Core Assembly Replacement Instructions CAUTION! De-energize all field wiring before servicing.
CAUTION! Ensure that field wiring to the device remains de-energized before proceeding. 5) Insert the terminal plug and reconnect any field wiring removed in step 2. Replace the cover and tighten fully. Be sure to lock the cover in place by turning the cover security bolt counterclockwise with an M2.5 hex key until the bolt is pressed firmly against the cover.
