Mini-Switch LB 471

Installation with clamps

Make a suitable bracket for the container.

Using the drawing below, drill 4 holes (d=11 mm) into the
bracket for the clamps.

Install the bracket either directly on the container or on a
sturdy girder.

Install the detector on the bracket using clamps.
