Description of use as a protective system
The sensor's tuning fork vibrates at its intrinsic frequency. The vibration frequency decreases as the
density increases. This change in the frequency causes the current signal to change. There is a choice
of two operating modes:
• Minimum detection
• Maximum detection
MIN detection
The measuring system is used to protect against a level that is too low (e.g. pump dry running
protection, protection against emptying or protection against insufficient filling).
In normal operation, the tuning fork is covered by liquid and the measuring system reports the
"GOOD" state. If the tuning fork is free, the device assumes the safe state and signals the
demand mode.
MAX detection
The measuring system is used to protect against a level that is too high (e.g. overfill prevention).
In normal operation, the tuning fork is not covered by liquid and the measuring system reports
the "GOOD" state. If the tuning fork is covered, the device assumes the safe state and signals the
demand mode.
The switch point depends on the installation. It is in the area of the tuning fork, see the following
diagram.
