    With the rotary switch you can set the sensitivity of the instrument. Position 0.1 kΩ is the less sensitive and switch position 300 kΩ the most sensitive one, see chart "switching point adjustment". There are three switches on the dil switch block by which you can adjust the switching on and off dela...

    The instrument is adapted to the medium, i.E, the relay deenergizes when the max. Level is reached. Only when the min. Probe is decreased, the relay energizes again. Example: a filling pump is switched on when the min. Signal is decreased, fills the vessels until max. Signal is reached and is then swi...
