BUILT-IN LIQUID LEVEL AVAILABLE ON/OFF TOGGLE SWITCH

The SMC series is TITAN's least expensive, FULL SIZE, NON-INDICATING, TEMPERATURE CONTROL.
The solid state control operates a contactor that will power up to 75 AMPS!

One of the most popular features of this control is the QUICK, EASY, INEXPENSIVE, REPLACEABLE THERMOCOUPLE! Most of the OLD-FASHIONED copper bulb type capillary controls will corrode, break or even have a sleeve that gets pin holes from kinking. In time you end up replacing the whole control. TITAN Heaters has solved that problem with the solid state control and Type "J" thermocouple. If the SENSOR WIRE becomes damaged, simply unscrew it from the back and insert a new wire! 5 minutes TOPS!

The control comes with UPSCALE BREAK PROTECTION. In the event the thermocouple should break, the control will go UP-SCALE and SHUT OFF!  SAFETY... YOU BET!

Applications

SMC Series Controls are used where YOU DON'T HAVE TO "SEE" THE ACCURACY, (although it's there), for heater loads that are used to heat:  caustics, black oxide, cleaners, strip tanks, phosphate tanks, carbon treat tanks, and many other NON-INDICATING applications!

Sensor Locations

The location of the sensor in the process will have an effect on the control output.

For Example... If you are installing this control sensor in a chemical process tank, and you place the sensor tip all the way to the bottom; the control can not sense the "heat rising" and will, consequently, stay on to meet the demand of control. So be sure that your sensor is located in the TOP 1/3 of your process solution.
REMEMBER: HEAT RISES!

Types of Sensors

There are several types available in the marketplace. We use type "J" thermocouple sensing. When you are replacing the thermocouple be sure to replace it with the same "type". Changing to a different kind of sensor will cause the control to give a false reading.

Polarity

This is a "TYPE J" thermocouple (T/C) and should only be used with controls that are set up to receive the signal input. Malfunctioning and/or incorrect operation in the control device, may result if not properly set. Polarity is important! WHITE IS POSITIVE OR "+" AND RED IS NEGATIVE OR "-"
Malfunctioning can also occur if the T/C becomes damaged, scorned, cut, nicked, or exposed to physical abuse.
NEVER locate at the bottom of a heating process. DO NOT USE IN FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.

Liquid Level Controls (L/C)

The SMC series can be purchased with a FACTORY INSTALLED, Liquid Level Control by adding the "L/C" after the model number.
The control will monitor the solution level and turn the control off if the solution falls below a set of probes mounted on the lip of the tank. The probes are usually field trimmed to the cold zone bracket of the heaters. The probes come in different metals for chemical compatibility. Titanium is the most common metal with 316 and Hastalloy a close second. Check the CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CHART (available in our printed catalog) prior to purchasing.

Manual Reset Button (MR)

The SMC series can be purchased with a MANUAL RESET BUTTON in conjunction with the Liquid Level Control.
The button keeps the control from cycling back "ON" automatically after the tank has been refilled.
This option is recommended if plastic tanks are used with immersion heaters.
ADD "MR" TO THE PART NUMBER AND ADD $40 TO THE PRICE.

Automatic Thermal Switch (ATS)

The SMC series comes with a wiring provision for heaters with THERMAL SWITCHES. Simply remove the jumper in the lower right corner and insert the 2 leads from the THERMAL SWITCH... and you're ready to go.

Product Integration

The SMC series can be incorporated with TITAN's L-600 SERIES LIQUID LEVEL CONTROL, installed when you buy or as an add on later and/or the AUTOMATIC THERMAL SWITCH (ATS) on certain TITAN electric immersion heaters that have the "ATS" in the model number.

Type L-600 Series
SAVES IMMERSION HEATERS
NON-CORROSIVE, PLASTIC ENCLOSURE
LOW COST REPLACEABLE PROBE!
RELIABLE U.R. LISTED COMPONENTS

The L-600 series is TITAN's best line of liquid levels.

The L-600 series is a CONDUCTIVITY type of level device. A low power of 12 volts is passed between the probes. If the solution is present the current is passed to the next probe which keeps the electrical circuit closed. If the liquid drops the current is stopped and the circuit is opened. Simple!

The relay circuit in the L-600 series is rated at 5 amps and should be connected to the holding coil of a power contactor.

Applications

The level control can be used on any non-flammable application that does not exceed 200º F (for applications over 200º F consult the factory). Use this level control on all heater applications in plastic tanks or plastic lined tanks.  Field trim the probes at 1/2" above the "Cold Zone" of the heater.

Can be used with other brand heater and controls

Pump on control.
Pump off control.
Pump on-off control. Consult the factory for the L-1100 series of control.

Caution:
1. Because of sensitivity of the control, rapid level changes and "rolling type boil" agitated tanks or actual boiling tanks will cause the electrical contacts to cycle very rapidly. Premature failure of the control along with the contacts of the contactor welding shut can occur. Check your tank application prior to purchasing.
2. D.I. Water This control will not function in pure D.I. water. Check with us on a float type control for this application.

Probes

One of the most popular features of this control is the QUICK, EASY, INEXPENSIVE, REPLACEABLE SENSING PROBE!

The probes mount on the lip of the tank and the control box is remotely mounted.

The function of the control should be checked often. This is done by lifting one of the probes above the liquid level, then watching and listening for the contactor to "click". This action also serves another purpose, it may break any "chemical bridging", that takes place. The bridge is caused by the chemical salts evaporating and forming a bridge on the under side of the probe brackets creating an electrical bridge on the probes.

The probes come in a standard 12" length that is to be field trimmed tot he COLD ZONE BRACKET of the immersion heaters. Longer lengths are available for pumping applications.

Product Integration

The L-600 can be incorporated with TITAN's M-43 SERIES CONTROLS, SMC SERIES, AND SC-280 SERIES OF CONTROL. Other brands of control with the same control voltage.

For manual reset, an SMC or M-43 series of controllers must be purchased.
