Installation
Choosing a Site
The LevelCom 100 has been designed to be mechanically rugged, accurate and dependable.
It is best to select a mounting location that is as clean as possible and well protected against
adverse environments. The LevelCom 100 enclosure is UL listed as “Rain tight for indoor
use”. Avoid areas of high moisture and temperature, excessive vibration and concentrated
electrical interference. Good lighting is helpful but not essential since the LevelCom 100
display is brightly lit. Consider access for electrical connections to the top and pneumatic
tubing to the bottom of the LevelCom 100.
If you are replacing an existing device, you may have an opportunity to improve on the
original mounting location. Study the area to see if another site might be better suited. It is
best to have a dedicated power supply for the LevelCom 100, that is, one with its own circuit
protection device (fuse or circuit breaker).
Mounting Preparation
For access to electrical connections, the LevelCom 100 is designed with two 0.875” holes in
each side of the case intended for ½” electrical fittings. Use fittings in accordance with the
NEC which are suitable for the wiring system and suitable to maintain the UL “Rain tight”
rating of the enclosure.
Surface Mounting
The LevelCom 100 normally comes equipped with two stainless steel mounting brackets
attached to the box. Using the mounting holes in these brackets the LevelCom 100 is
mounted to the surface using #10 screws. The spacing of the bracket mounting holes is 4”
horizontal by 14.75” vertical. This is the most common way of mounting LevelCom 100s.
