This tip comes from Jim F in New London
When replacing older small dials with R3D (sensor ready) dials, it's good to keep in mind that R3D dials have the level markings rotated 90 degrees from the markings on older dials. The left photo below shows an older Rochester Senior dial mounted on a horizontal tank gauge with the 50% marking at the 12 o'clock position (at the pointed mounting tab).

 

 

 







The right photo shows a new Rochester Senior R3D dial mounted on the same tank gauge with the 50% marking at the 9 o'clock position (rotated 90 degrees compared to the old the Base Unit using the WESROC Host Computer Software.

R3D dials for Taylor Type A and Taylor Type B applications are also rotated in the same way. R3D dials for vertical cylinders that are scaled from 10-80% or 5-85% will read about 45% at the 9 o'clock position.

The rotation of the markings does not effect the operation of the dial. The reason the markings were rotated was to allow easier sensor cable routing when installed on a tank. All of the small R3D dials now being produced have the markings rotated in this manner. Large (4" and 8") sensor ready dials for Rochester and Taylor applications DO NOT have the markings rotated from the original dials. They still read 50% at the 12 o'clock position.
