Switch Wiring Note: Use cable and wiring suitable for temperatures up to 10° C (18° F) above the maximum ambient temperature. For cable
connections within the EU, cable glands shall be ATEX certified for type "d" flameproof enclosures.
Switch Setting: Internal float mechanically actuates a switch lever push rod to provide separate (independent) low level and low-low level switch
signals. Switches are factory set for normal operation when oil level is at the centerline of the controller housing sight window. Low level switch
changes state (trips) when oil level drops 5/8" below the centerline of the controller housing sight window. Low-Low level switch changes state
(trips) when oil level drops 7/8" below the centerline of the controller housing sight window. (Note: Factory set switch trip points are based on
using SAE 30 wt. oil at ambient temperature).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR KENCO MODEL KLC TYPE

OIL CONTROLLERS WITH MOUNTING ADAPTERS
(See Section V for Instructions on Fire Safe Oil Controllers with 50-KFS and/or 75-KFS Fire Safe Valves.)

I. OIL CONTROLLER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

 Connect an oil supply line to the 1/2" FNPT oil inlet port on top of the oil level controller. The minimum recommended supply line I.D.
is 5/8”. Note: The inside of the supply line must be clean.
 Connect the oil supply line to the oil supply tank. If there is no existing valve at the tank or the existing supply outlet, a shut-off valve
should be placed in the line to prevent oil loss when cleaning the controller inlet screen or filter.
 Standard controller oil inlet pressure range must be between 2’ and 25’ of oil inlet head pressure (0.77 PSIG to 9.64 PSIG) unless
unit is equipped with a high pressure HPA or HPB oil inlet orifice option.
1. HPA oil inlet orifice pressure range must be between 10 PSIG and 35 PSIG.
2. HPB oil inlet orifice pressure range must be between 36 PSIG and 70 PSIG.
 The controller oil inlet valve is set to maintain the oil level at the center of the controller sight window when oil inlet pressure is at
midrange.
 Low or high oil levels are often caused by two problems:
1. Excessive oil inlet pressure will cause the unit to overfill.
2. Improper equalization between the crankcase and the level controller. See Oil Level Controller Operation Basics document on
Kenco website for a more detailed explanation about the importance of equalization between controller and crankcase.

II. START-UP PROCEDURES:

 Ensure that the oil supply tank is full.

 After the engine has been running for 1 hour, visually check the oil level in the sight glass. The oil level should be in the center of the
sight glass depending on controller oil inlet pressure.
 With the engine running, check the crankcase oil level. It should be the same as the oil level in the controller. If not, check the
installation of the equalizing line (if applicable). Refer to Section IV “UNIVERSAL INDIRECT MOUNT ADAPTERS” for instructions.
 Check all piping connections for leaks and repair as needed.

III. SIX MONTH SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PLAN:

Controller Oil Inlet Valve Service:

 Close the oil supply valve and disconnect the oil inlet supply line.
 Place a pan under the controller to catch the oil from the oil supply line.
 Remove and clean the controller oil inlet valve screen.
 Once the screen is clean, reassemble and open the oil supply valve.

Note: Dispose of oil in a proper container.

V. KENCO MODEL 50-KFS / 75-KFS FIRE SAFE VALVE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

(United States Patent No. 3,877,476)

 All oil lines between the oil supply tank and the Fire Safe Valve, between the crankcase and the Fire Safe Valve, and between the
Fire Safe Valve and the oil controller must be steel. DO NOT use rubber or aluminum oil lines.
 The size of the lines connected to the inlet and outlet of the Fire Safe Valve should be equal to or larger than the nominal port size of
the Fire Safe Valve.
 Flow through the Fire Safe Valve is bidirectional. Either port can serve as the inlet or outlet.
 Any orientation of the Thermal Fusing Element is acceptable during installation, but facing downward is preferred. This ensures that
the fuse is directly exposed to the heat source in case of a fire.
 The 50-KFS valve has 1/2” FNPT threads and should be installed in the oil supply line as close to the controller as possible. Meters,
filters and pressure regulators should be installed between the controller and the 50-KFS.
 The 75-KFS valve has 3/4” FNPT threads and should be located as close to the crankcase as possible and the oil outlet line should
be 3/4” I.D. minimum to insure adequate oil flow to the crankcase.

Note: The 75-KFS valve is not required when using –FS adapters other than –9, -10 & –12.
