1 Introduction
1.1 Intended Use
Level switches are used to monitor the liquid level and temperature in fluid systems.
Level switches must not be used in highly flammable or corrosive liquids.
The medium must not contain particles, particularly metallic particles, to prevent deposits on the float or between the float and
switching tube. If necessary, filter the medium.
Please note the technical data in the appendix for the specific intended use, existing material combinations, as well as temper-
ature limits.
WARNING
All device models are solely intended for industrial applications. They are not safety com-
ponents. The devices must not be used if failure or malfunction thereof jeopardises the
safety and health of persons.
Use in explosive areas is prohibited.
1.2 Functionality
1.2.1 Liquid level monitoring
The measuring tube is located inside the tank. The reed-contact is located inside the measuring tube.
Simply put, the reed-contact works the same as a regular resistance potentiometer. The reed-contact consists of a number of
reed switches along with resistors connected in series. The total length of the chain varies by the path being monitored.
If a magnet inside a float trips the reed switch, a resistance signal proportional to the position of the float will be output. When
the float changes positions, resistances are more or less activated and the resistance signal altered based on the position of the
float. The resistance signal passes through a transformer yet and is analysed by the display unit.
1.2.2 Temperature monitor
Temperature is monitored via temperature sensor (Pt100) inside the sensor tube. Depending on the version, there are several
switching outputs combined with one analogue output (4 - 20mA). The temperature is shown in the display.
Please note the technical data in the appendix.
1.3 Design types
The level switch is equipped with different switching and analogue outputs based on the configuration. The outputs are freely
programmable.
The level switch can be equipped with the following options:
OV Oval flange
G1 Adapter to G1" flange
Please refer to the type plate for your equipment configuration. In addition to the job number, this also contains the item num-
ber and type designation.

4 Setup and connection
DANGER Electric voltage
Risk of electric shock
a) Always disconnect the unit from the mains before performing work.
b) Secure the equipment from accidental restarting.
c) The equipment may only be installed, maintained and put into operation by instruc-
ted, competent personnel.
d) Always observe the applicable safety regulations for the operating site.
DANGER Toxic, acidic gases/liquids
Protect yourself from toxic, corrosive gasses/liquids when performing any type of work.
Wear appropriate protective equipment.
4.1 Installation
The level switch comes fully assembled and can be mounted to the tank using the screw-in thread. Please be sure the float can
move freely and to leave enough space between the tank wall and add-ons.
After removing the float, where applicable, be sure the magnet inside the float is above the fluid level. This can easily be verified
with a piece of iron to determine the magnet position inside the float.
DANGER Electric voltage
Risk of electric shock
When connecting devices, please note the maximum voltages and currents currents (see
technical data) and use the correct wire cross-sections and circuit breakers.
When selecting the connection lines, also note the maximum operating temperatures of
the devices.
Installation in special areas of application:
If the device will be installed outdoors or in wet areas, the maximum operating voltage
is max. 16 V DC effective or 35 V DC.
The flange-mounted display units can be swivelled vertically by approx. 270° so they are easier to read. Please note the built-in
swivel stop. You will notice more resistance when reaching the stop. Turning it beyond this stop may damage the display unit.
4.2 Electrical connections
Electricity is supplied via plug connectors. Please refer to the appendix for installation dimensions, nominal voltage and plug
configuration.
The temperature switching outputs are PNP transistors (see illustration):
Supply voltage
Note: When measuring the switching output with high-load measuring device inputs or when used as a frequency output, the
load must be set to 10 kΩ between the output and earth (GND) to avoid faulty measurements.

The basic device settings can be changed. General settings can be configured under Basic Settings Advanced Functions (b.EF).
These settings should be configured first, as they affect the displays and settings for the individual menus. These settings are
e.g. the units used and allocating switching outputs for liquid level and temperature measurement. The allocation of the ana-
logue outputs cannot be changed.
The Diagnostic (dia) menu further contains diagnostics options.
For the detailed illustration of the entire menu structure please refer to the original operating instructions at the end of this
chapter.
5.6 Changing basic settings
The general basic settings can be changed under menu Basic Settings Extended Functions (bEF). These settings will affect the
measurement display and the configuration options in the various main menus. Here you can also change the switching output
assignment.
– Press the key to open the main menu.
– Select menu item (EF) using the and keys and open the menu with the key.
NOTICE Disabling normal error handling
Disabling normal error handling and analysis could potentially cause dangerous operat-
ing states, dangers to the user or machines. Before using this option, review the hazard
potential within the process. With this setting, Bühler Technologies GmbH assumes no li-
ability for injuries to health or material damage caused by this setting.
5.6.1 Disabling normal error handling

5.6.8 Liquid level scaling
The display range is scaled between the highest and lowest float position. This scaling will also affect the display accuracy and
the resolution for determining the switching outputs for the liquid level.
The following illustration shows the factory setting for the switching outputs and the display:
A = factory settings
1 = measuring range
Models with analogue output:
The factory setting for the display is in descending order for increasing liquid level, so the bottom position shows 0% and the
top position shows 100%. The values can be switched as described below.

5.7 Switching outputs
All switching outputs are configured the same way. The switching output number is therefore represented by x. Open the
switching output to be configured from the menu for the respective measured variable.

The switching output allocation and other basic settings related to all switching outputs can be configured in menu Basic Set-
tings Advanced Functions.
Use submenu Advanced Functions to configure additional settings for each individual switching output which e.g. affect the
switching characteristics of the output. The output can also be tested here.

NO contact or NC contact function when the output
signal is set when exceeding the configured switch-
ing point. The output signal will be deleted if the
value is below the configured switch-back point.
Here, NO contact (Hno) means the PNP switching out-
put is closed above switching point SPx and opens
below switching point rPx.
Here, NC contact (Hnc) means the PNP switching out-
put is open above switching point SPx and closes be-
low switching point rPx.
