With the mode adjustment (A/B) you can change the switching
condition of the relay. You can set the required mode
according to the "Function chart" (A - max. detection or overfill
protection, B - min. detection or dry run protection).
With this DIL switch (3) you can set the switching point to
liquids having a density between 0.5 and 0.7 g/cm³ (0.018 and
0.025 lbs/in³). With the basic setting, liquids with a density of
>0.7 g/cm³ (0.025 lbs/in³) can be detected. In liquids with lower
density, you must set the switch to >0.5 g/cm³ (0.018 lbs/in³).
The specifications for the position of the switching point relate
to water - density value 1 g/cm³ (0.036 lbs/in³). In products with
a different density, the switching point will shift in the direction
of the housing or tuning fork end depending on the density and
type of installation.
Keep in mind that foams with a density >0.45 g/cm³ (0.016 lbs/
in³) are detected by the sensor. This can cause faulty
switchings particulary when used as dry run protection system.
