will

 

reverse

 

the

For

 

example,

 

if

 

relay

is

 

a

that

 

energizes

 

above

 

50”

liquid,

 

checking

 

the

energize

 

when

 

it

 

is

Inverting

 

the

will

 

also

 

invert

 

the

If

 

the

 

relay

 

is

On,

 

inverting

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

make

 

it
