In case of automatic medium detection [MEdI] = [Auto] or deactivated 

overflow prevention [OP] = [OFF], the sensor reinitialises itself each time it 

is switched on and makes adjustments to the medium and the installation 

environment. The active zone / measuring range must 

not

 be completely 

covered by the medium. The indicated minimum distances ensure this. Too 

short a distance may lead to maladjustments and malfunctions.

6.3  Other installation notes

•  For mounting in plastic pipes/plastic tanks, the inside (pipe) diameter must at 

least be 12.0 cm (4.8 inches). Install sensor in the centre. 

•  For mounting in metal pipes the inside pipe diameter (d) must be at least:

6.3.1  Marking of the installation height 

 

Fix the set installation height with the supplied 

stainless steel tube clip. 

If the sensor is removed from the fixture for 

maintenance reasons, the clip serves as a 

limit stop when remounting the sensor. Thus 

an inadvertent maladjustment of the sensor is 

excluded. This is in particular necessary for the 

correct function of the overflow prevention.

 

Fit the stainless steel tube clip using pliers.

 

Ensure a safe fit. 

 

To remove the clip it has to be destroyed.
