8. Operation

In order to initialise the bistable switching function, it is essential 
that the float activates the contact once in each direction. 

Adjustment of limit-values 

The switch-point can be adjusted to the desired levels by using both red sliders 
as reference points. 

Reference edge for falling flow

: bottom-edge, switch housing  

Reference edge for rising flow

:  approx.  5  mm  above  the  bottom-edge  of  switch 

housing. 
Slide the switch housing up or down until the reference edge coincides with the 
desired switch-point scale reading. 

Hysteresis 

Hysteresis is the difference between the level at which “switch-on” occurs during 
rising flow and the level at which “switch-off” occurs during decreasing flow. The 
hysteresis is approximately 5 mm on the float range. 

Overranging 

With  non-pulsating  flow,  the  maximum  flow  rate  can  be  exceeded.  Only  an 
increase  in  pressure  loss  will  result  (max.  permissible  operating  pressure  must 
not be exceeded!) 

9. Maintenance

If the medium to be measured is clean, the series KSK is virtually maintenance-
free. If deposits form on the inner housing or parts, periodic cleaning of the unit is 
recommended.  Remove  the  units  from  the  piping  with  a  suitable  tool;  clean  the 
flow meter with a suitable cleaning agent or make use of an ultrasonic bath.
