INSTALLATION & START-UP
When flipper indicators are purchased with a Babbitt gage no installation is necessary.
However, if the indicator is removed or a retrofit kit is purchased for a gage already in service,
the following should be noted:
1. The mounting clamps connecting the flipper assembly to gage chamber, are adjustable to
most manufacturers’ standard (i.e.: 1 ½” to 2 ½” pipe).
2. If the gage is in service and there is liquid in the tank, only the individual flippers adjacent to
the float will rotate to red when the indicator assembly is clamped on.
3. To reset indicator to show true level, the operator can
a. Run a magnet along window of indicator from 0 to where red is showing as noted in
item 2.
OR
b. Drain gage to empty to zero the indicator, then fill again and as float rises with the
level indicator will then be set and read properly
(red = liquid, silver = vapor space).
