4.1 Installation
Please note before installing the level switch!
After transport and delivery of the level switch, the switching
status of the bistable contacts may be different than required
for proper operation.
Therefore slide the float for the level switch along the level
switch tube from below immediately before installation.
This ensures all built-in bistable contacts have a clearly
defined switching status (NC or NO).
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.
