Definitions
The alarm conditions below can be detected in a fail-safe or non fail-safe mode.
Fail Safe
•
The sensor connection arrangement is fail-safe if the output status is in high
alarm status when power fails; open contact state prevents material overflow.
•
The sensor connection arrangement switches to the fail-safe low alarm status
when power fails; this open contact state prevents material running dry.
High Alarm
•
When material reaches a maximum process level, uncovering the probe.
Low Alarm
•
When material reaches a minimum process level, uncovering the probe.
Power / Alarm Wiring
Notes:
For terminal block equivalents, see Enclosure Version on page 6.
•
•
The solid-state output should only be used in circuits where the current is limited by a
proper load.
•
Due to the limited switching capabilities of the solid-state switch component, an
auxiliary relay must be applied when switching high-current/high-voltage apparatus.
