2.1 Functional description
The model RLS-7000 works according to the float principle with
magnetic transmission and is suitable for vertical installation. A reed
contact integrated in the guide tube is actuated through the magnetic
field of a permanent magnet, when a preset switch point is reached. The
permanent magnet is located within a float, which changes its position
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. The switching function can be changed between normally closed
and normally open by turning the float through 180°.
The RLS-8000 is suitable for horizontal installation. The normally open
and normally closed switching function, as it is marked at the process
connection, can be set through a half turn on the mounting thread of the
switch.
