CAUTION

Installation, initial start-up and maintenance may only be performed by trained personnel. All applicable European and national
regulations regarding installation of electrical equipment must be adhered to. 
- The device may only be connected to supply power which complies with the specifications included in the technical data and on 

the serial plate. 

- The device must be disconnected from all sources of power during installation and maintenance work! 
- The device may only be operated under the conditions specified in the operating instructions!

DESCRIPTION

The MAXIMAT LW CZ ... compact leakage sensor is used as a leakage monitoring device for permanently installed containers used for
the storage of non-flammable, water endangering liquids.It is equipped with three different output circuits: 
- A binary output for controlling a coupling relay or the digital input at a PLC 
- A 0 to 20 mA current output for controlling an analog input channel, e.g. a programmed logic controller (PLC) 
- Self-monitoring measuring circuit in combination with the MAXIMAT SHR C... measuring transducer with 2-wire connection

Applications: 

Note that stored liquids may not tend to precipitate insulating or conductive sediments.C.s.

CE mark: 

In accordance with low-voltage directive (73/23/EWG), EMC directive (89/336/EWG) and EN 50 082-2:1995, EN 55
