The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar
with these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations
applying to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the
machines fulfil the EC machinery directive.
3. Instrument Inspection
These devices are checked before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of
the delivery packing. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service/
forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during
transit.

4. Regulation Use
These units of type NSM are employed for purposes of monitoring the filling-level
status of liquids. Only such liquids may be measured which are compatible with
the materials used in the construction of these units.
Float switches are usable as switching elements for level control in almost any
situation, where a two-point control is sufficient to solve the problem under
consideration. These devices are easy to install and practically maintenance-free.
Float switches represent an inexpensive solution while offering high reliability at
the same time.
5. Operating Principle
The float switch consists of a body with built-in micro-switch. The supplied contact
is a change-over type (SPDT), which can be used selectively as a N.O. or N.C.
contact.
The contact switches when exceeding or falling short of the horizontal float
position. Setting switch point is carried out through on-site assembly of the switch
at the desired position by cable-clamping. When top mounting, the switching point
is determined by means of ballast cable weights.
6. Mechanical Connection
The float switch cable is fastened centrally between the lower and upper levels.
The switching angle of the switch is approx. 45°. Thus, the difference in level is
about 1.4 times that of free cable length.
Example: Free cable-length 10 cm
Level difference approx. 14cm
Attention: The bending radius of the cable is 15-times of the cable diameter.
Neoprene cable: approx. 11 cm
The cable should not be bound with strap-hardened cable binder and not in a
vertical direction, if possible. The use of bending protection trumpets is
recommended.

Note! Water can penetrate the cut-end jacketing of the cable and
seep along the line into the switch. Do not allow the liquid to rise
above this end. The wiring should be connected either in a dry area
or in a junction-box, satisfying the safety class IP65 requirement (or
better). The use of a ground-fault-interrupting circuit breaker is
recommended.
After connecting desired external devices to the limit-contact, the device is ready
for use.
8. Maintenance
Providing that, the medium to be measured is not contaminated, the NSM unit is
maintenance-free.

environmental regulations.
Batteries
Batteries containing pollutants are marked with a sign consisting of a crossed-out
garbage can and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg, Li or Pb) of the heavy metal that
is decisive for the classification as containing pollutants:
Cd1 Hg2 Pb3 Li4
1. „Cd" stands for cadmium
2. „Hg" stands for mercury
3. „Pb" stands for lead
4. „Li" stands for lithium
