Influence of medium densitymax. +4.8 ... -3.5 mm (0.5 ... 1.5 g/cm3)
Measuring methodThe forks of the sensors vibrate at their intrinsic frequency. This frequency is reduced when covered with liquid.
The change in frequency then activates the limit switch.

Switch behaviourswitch-over for minimum/maximum residual current safety on electronic insert
MAX = maximum safety:
The output switches to the power fail response when the fork is covered.
for use with overspill protection for example
MIN = minimum safety:
The output switches to the power fail response when the fork is exposed.
for use with dry running protection for example
When switching on the power supply the output assumes the alarm signal. After max. 2 s it assumes the correct switching mode.
Medium densityadjustment on the electronic insert > 0,5 g/cm3 or > 0,7 g/cm3 (other on request)
