Float level switch for liquids
B-1 and B-1P
Operating Instructions

Read these Safety instructions before using the switch for the first time and follow the Operating instructions.
Safety instructions
1. The installation, initial operation and maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified expert with electrical know-how.
2. Comply with the local and statutory rules and/or the VDE0100.
3. Before electrical connection, check the specifications on the data plate and the technical data of this manual.
4. A fuse must be connected in series to the supply voltage, according to the Standard and Normative documents.
5. Protect the signal contacts of the limit switch against voltage peaks when inductive or capacitive loads are connected.
6. The device may be put into operation only if the electrical connection is correct. To secure the type of protection, the sealing cap and the gasket
must be placed correctly and the screw nut of the cable gland has to be fixed and fastened to the cable entry.
7. The earth connection of the device has to be installed in such a way that mechanical damage will be excluded.
8.
9. Switch off the power supply, before disconnecting the device.
For a correct use of the level switch, the counterweight must not touch the bottom of the tank and it is necessary to ensure the free movement of the
counterweight.

Operating instructions
1. Specification
1.1 Intended use
The float level switch B-1 is used to keep between 2 points the
level of liquid like water, oil, chemical products, etc., conductive or
not, in tanks or recipients at atmospheric pressure.
1.2 Function
The B-1 bases its work due to the movement of a float. When the
level of liquid rises up, the float reaches the mechanical stop and
pull up the lower counterweight. This enables the action of the
lever and reverses the position of the switch.
The adjustment of the commutation of the switch is obtained
adjusting the mechanical stops at the desired cable point. If the
float is blocked with the mechanical stops, it can be obtained only
one punctual signal.

3.2 Normal operation
- Use the float switch in its intended application only.
- Comply with the specifications
- If the controller is damaged, disconnect it immediately.
- It is forbidden to make changes to the device. This violates the
Normative.
3.3 Inexpert handling
- Ignoring the Safety instructions and the Operating instructions.
- Not intended use.
- Making changes or handling the float switch.
- Violation against applicable Law and Standards.
- Using of non original parts.
4. Maintenance, servicing and spare parts
4.1 Maintenance
- If used correctly, no specific maintenance is required.
4.2 Servicing
- Check and review the state of the switch, the cable, the float, the
mechanical stops, the counterweight and the correct commutation
of the electrical contact, as well.
4.3 Spare parts
- Use only original parts.
- The spare parts of the controllers are the cable, the float, the
counterweight and the mechanical stops.
5. Storage
- Store the controller in a dry and dust-free environment.
6. Disposal
-
- The controller can be recycled.
- The disposal applies to the valid environmental Guidelines
according to the location of the carrier and the local
manufacturing conditions.
on the data plate and the technical
data of this manual.
Switch off the power supply, before disconnecting the device.
2. Installation
-
- Verify if you have got all the parts:
•Housing.
•Float.
•Counterweight, cable and mechanical stops.
- The controller has to be mounted in a way that the incoming
liquid does not hit the float and does not make turbulence in its
side.
It is simple: the float must be vertically installed on the top of the
tank with an appropiate support to fix it. The tank can have a cap
to preserve the liquid against dust. Just a little hole in the cap
allows the free movement of the cable.
- Fasten the cable gland after making the electrical connection.
- Fix and fasten the screw nut of the cable gland to make sure of
the water-tightness.
3. Use
3.1 Commissioning
- Put the controller into operation only if the installation and the
electrical connection have been done correctly.
2.1 Preparing for use
Read the Safety Instructions and the Operation Instructions
before using the controller.
