Fail-Safe Mode
The built-in feature for minimum/
maximum fail-safe switching allows the
Nivocompact to be used in all
applications requiring high operational
safety:
•
Maximum Fail-Safe:
The current circuit is blocked
if the probe is covered
or the power supply fails.

•
Minimum Fail-Safe:
The current circuit is blocked
if the probe is uncovered
or the power supply fails.
A red LED on the electronic insert
indicates switching status.
