2. Design and function

2.1 Functional description

Float switches with external chamber work on the oat principle with

magnetic transmission. A reed contact integrated in the guide tube 

is actuated through the magnetic eld of a permanent magnet, when a

preset switch point is reached.The permanent magnet is located within

a oat , which changes its height with the level of the medium it is

monitoring.The switching status of the reed contact can be evaluated

and processed by a connected control device.

3. Safety

3.1 Explanation of symbols

DANGER!

... indicates a directly dangerous situation resulting in serious

injury or death, if not avoided.

WARNING!

... indicates a potentially dangerous situation that can result

in serious injury or death, if not avoided.

CAUTION!

in light injuries or damage to property or the environment, if

not avoided.

Information

... points out useful tips, recommendations and information

for ecient and trouble-free operation.

3.2 Intended use

Float switches with external chamber are used exclusively for

monitoring the levels of liquid media.The scope of application is

defined by the technical performance limits and materials.

■

The liquids must not have any large contamination or coarse

particulates and must not have a tendency to crystallise. Ensure that

the wetted materials of the oat switch are suciently resistant to

the medium being monitored. Not suitable for dispersions, abrasive

liquids, highly viscous media and colours.

■

This instrument is not permitted to be used in hazardous areas! For

these areas, oat switches with approval (e.g. in accordance with

ATEX) are required.

3. Safety

Operating instructions oat switch, model ELS

be observed.

■

Do not operate the instrument in the direct vicinity of ferromagnetic

environments (min. distance 50 mm).

■

Do not operate the instrument in the immediate vicinity of strong

electromagnetic elds or in the immediate vicinity of equipment that

can be aected by magnetic elds (min. clearance 1 m).

■

The oat switches must not be exposed to heavy mechanical strain

(impact, bending, vibration).

■

The technical specications contained in these operating instructions

must be observed. Improper handling or operation of the instrument

outside of its technical specications requires the instrument to be

taken out of service immediately and inspected by an authorised

WIKA service engineer.
