Level-Trac Remote StartUp Process

Level-Trac Start-Up Process

Built to last, Level-Trac manifolds feature robust construction to perform in the rigorous environment adjacent to steam generation equipment.

This post walks through how to prepare and start-up the Questtec Solutions’s Level-Trac Remote Level Indication system.

Before you begin, make sure you have the wiring diagram for the control unit, and diagram for remote display, if used. Each unit has a serial number, and the wiring diagram is marked accordingly. If the wiring diagram cannot be located, contact the factory with the serial number reference.

Level-Trac Remote Level Indication System Start-Up

Step 1 

 Start by routing the wire bundle into the control unit.

Step 2

Land each probe wire to its respective terminal on the plug PL1 and PL2. Pause and do not connect the plug. Double-check the wiring to the diagram.

Step 3

If used, land each remote display wire to its respective terminal on the “REMOTE DISPLAY” plug. Pause and do not connect the plug. Double-check the wiring to the diagram.

Step 4

Prior to initially powering up, verify that the ribbon cable connecting the two PCBs is oriented correctly and fully seated. The red conductor must be towards the “1” marked on the PCB.

Step 5

Verify the power is off and install the wired probe plugs. Power up the unit, and observe; if the column is empty all probe channels should have the red LEDs illuminated. 

Step 6

Turn off the power and install the wired remote display plugs, if used. To prevent permanent damage to the discriminator PCB, confirm that the wiring to the indicator is correct before powering up. 

Step 7

Power up the unit and check the correct illumination of LED’s by operation of the green and red test buttons.

Step 8

Bring the probe manifold online. Refer to the factory IOM.

Step 9

Compare the Level-Trac water level to other instrumentation and/or sight glass. Bear in mind that slight differences are to be expected.

Process Level & Control

Glass Level & Gauge Valves

Glass-Trac Reflex

Glass-Trac

Glass-Trac Gauges, formally Daniel Level Gauge & Valve, are available in three main types: Reflex, Transparent, & Tubular. These direct reading instruments are available in many different materials to meet your specific process conditions.

Armored Tubular

Armor-Trac

Armor-Trac products operate to display liquid levels in a transparent sight tube that mirror the liquid level of a tank or vessel.

Illuminator

Illuminators

Illuminator for hazardous locations utilizes the latest technology to provide brilliant back lighting to any process gauge.

Valves

Questtec Solutions offers several gauge valve & steam valve options suitable for a variety of applications. Our valves provide an automatic shut off for glass and steam level gauge products. QTS gauge valves and steam valves are available in a variety of arrangements.

Magnetic Level Indication

Magne-Trac

Magne-Trac

Magne-Trac products are among the safest and most economical ways to measure liquid levels, excelling in applications of extreme pressure, temperature, vibration, and corrosive or hazardous materials.

Bridle Chambers

Bridle-Trac

Bridle-Trac

A bridle-trac may be referred to in the industry as a bridle chamber, a stilling well, a bypass chamber, a cage or a standpipe. It may be used with a customer specified radar for level measurement.

Boiler Level & Control

Direct Reading Devices

Steam-Trac STB 3000

Steam-Trac

Our extensive Steam-Trac product line was designed specifically for several models of water level/steam level gauges with pressure from 300 PSI working steam pressure to 3000 PSI working steam pressure.

Conval Clampseal® Valves

Steam Valves

Questtec Solutions steam valves are designed specifically for use with water level gauges in steam/water service. The angled flow path compactly eases installation of the level gauge, bringing the assembly connection point to the side. Each model is designed to prevent steam galling and maximize packing life to extend the longevity of the valve.

Amber Illuminator

Illuminators

Illuminator for hazardous locations utilizes the latest technology to provide brilliant back lighting to any process gauge.

Indirect Reading Devices

Level-Trac

Level-Trac

Level-Trac products include water columns and probes capable of operating in applications up to 3000 PSI as well as broad line of Water Detection Control Units & Alarms.

Guided Wave Radar

Guided Wave Radar Solutions

The QTS Guided Wave Radar delivers an independent reading of liquid and solid levels. These top mount, direct insertion radars measure interface and direct level of liquids and solids, both of high and low pressures and temperatures.

Alarm Points

Level-Trac

The fixture is designed to be piped in to a vertical configuration to track the contents of a steam drum or other pressure vessel.
