1.1 Intended Use
The NS1 level switch series serves liquid level monitoring in
tanks in fluid systems. They are installed on the tank and have
a visual display. Up to four switching contacts provide an elec-
tronic signal for fill level monitoring.
A medium temperature between -20 °C and 80 °C (-4 °F and
176 °C) must be maintained. The level switch must not be used
in highly flammable or corrosive liquids. The medium must
not contain particles, particularly metallic particles, to pre-
vent deposits on the float or between the float and switching
tube. If necessary, filter the medium.
Please refer to the technical data for the specific intended use
and available material combinations.
Please refer to the type plate for your equipment configura-
tion. In addition to the job number, this also contains the item
number and type designation.
