Why is my Rochester Gauges 6200 gauge reading at some midpoint?

  Ryan BrownAug 12, 2025
  If the Rochester Gauges Control Unit gauge reads at a midpoint regardless of the liquid level, it could be due to several reasons. The float or counterweight might be hitting internal obstructions; check for these and remove them. Alternatively, the float may be partially sunk because of a leak or improper counterbalancing; in this case, replace or rebalance the float. It is also possible that the float is hung or loose, so ensure it is secured. Another cause could be a dial pointer stuck due to damage or corrosion; try to unstick it or replace it. Also, check if an incorrect or modified float arm is installed and replace it with the correct one. Finally, inspect and fix the gear mechanism for any drag.

  If the Rochester Gauges Control Unit gauge continues reading at the low extreme even when the tank is full, consider these potential issues. First, check for any obstructions inside the tank bottom and remove them. Second, the float might be improperly counterbalanced for the liquid being gauged; rebalance it accordingly. Third, the float could be leaking and filled with liquid, requiring a replacement. Also, check the counterweight alignment and correct it if misaligned. If the dial is broken, replace it. Finally, inspect and fix the gear mechanism for any drag.

How to fix inaccurate liquid level indication on Rochester Gauges 6200?

  If your Rochester Gauges Control Unit is indicating the liquid level inaccurately, several factors could be responsible. First, verify that the gauge is compatible with the tank. If not, use the correct gauge. Second, ensure the mounting coupling/flange is aligned with the tank axis; adjust if necessary. Third, check if the tank is level and level it if it is not. Fourth, account for temperature volume changes in measurements. Lastly, inspect and fix the gear mechanism for any drag.

What to do if Rochester Gauges Control Unit gauge not reading at low extreme when installed in empty tank?

  Elizabeth MillerSep 3, 2025
  If the Rochester Gauges Control Unit gauge is not reading at the low extreme when installed in an empty tank, there are several possible causes. The float may be striking obstructions such as dip pipes or baffles; check for and remove any obstructions. The float or counterbalance may be hitting the tank wall, which indicates an incorrect gauge installation; ensure proper gauge installation. The float may not be dropping under its own weight, which suggests a defective gauge; inspect the gauge for defects. If the float arm is too short for the counterbalance, adjust the float arm length. Finally, if the dial is broken, replace it.
