3 Functions and features
3.1 Application area
The unit was especially designed to meet the requirements of machine tool
building. It is especially suitable for monitoring coolant emulsions (also dirty) as
well as cutting and hydraulic oils.
The unit monitors 2 process values: level and temperature.
3.2 Restriction of the application area
• The unit is not suitable for
-acids and alkalis
-hygienic and electroplating applications
-highly conductive and adhesive media (e.g. glue, shampoo)
-granulates, bulk material
-use in grinders (increased risk of formation of deposits).
• It is possible that foam of good conductivity is detected as level.
►
Test proper functioning in an application test.
• For water and hydrous media with temperatures > 35 °C, install the unit in a
climatic tube (→ Accessories).
• For automatic medium detection
For media which are very inhomogeneous, separate from each other and thus
forming separation layers (e.g. oil layer on water), the following applies:
►
Test proper functioning in an application test.
4 Getting started
For fast set-up, the example configurations described in the following can be used
for most applications. The indicated minimum distances apply exclusively to each
separately described case.
