5.2 External limit switch
Level measurement with
level switching Operating mode 0 (V8H0 = 0) of the Prolevel FMC 661 allows level measurement on
channel 1 and separate level switching on channel 2:
# Matrix Remarks
1 V9H5/V3H5/V3H6 Reset, enter sensor constants
2 V8H0 Select and register operating mode 0 (=0)
3 V0H1

V8H6 Calibrate limit switch, capacitance p. 37, Liquiphant p 38.
5 V1H0
…
V1H4, V1H6 Set relays, for limit switch set fail-safe mode only
Level limit switching Operating mode 2 (V8H0 = 2) provides level limit switching on channel 2 only. The limit
switch calibration is as described under "Sensor calibration", capacitance probes p. 37,
Liquiphant, p 38. For a top-mounted capacitance switch there is an additional delay, see
Table 5.1:
•
Set the relay fail-safe mode only
•
If V1H4 = 2 (channel 2), copy the values in V1H5/V1H7 to V1H0/V1H2.
