What to do if the Magnetrol C29 Switch mechanism fails to actuate?
If the Magnetrol Switch mechanism fails to actuate, there could be several reasons: 1. Binding: Loosen the magnet clamp screw and shift the magnet position, then retighten the screw. 2. Improper Installation: Ensure the control is installed within 3° of vertical. 3. Damaged Microswitch: Check the microswitch continuity with an ohmmeter and replace it immediately if damaged.
What to do if the Magnetrol C29 float is not buoyant in the liquid?
If the float in your Magnetrol Switch is not buoyant in the liquid, it may be filled with liquid or collapsed. Replace the float immediately.
