OPERATION
A magnetic float moving alongside the protection tube tracking
the level, is activating the reed relays incorporated the tube. After
passing of the float, the reed relays will retain their output state.
The device is capable of direct switching a load within its
specification.
INSTALLATION
The device should be mounted in vertical position via its process
connection and handled with care to avoid any damage or bend
of the protection tube during transportation or installation.
After fastening, the position of the cable gland can be rotated
±180°as well as the position of reed relays can be set ±25mm.
Both adjustments can be done by the switch point adjustment
gland, as follows:
– loosen the nut above the hexagon neck
– turn the housing as well as adjust the reed relays vertically to
the required position
– tighten the nut
Use a wrench at the hexagon neck to hold the device against
rotation while loosening and tightening the nut.
WARNING!
The switch point adjustment gland must not be
loosened in tanks under pressure.
