6.5  Switching point adjustment, two-point control 

with 4 … 20 mA sensor (continuous)

The two-point control is used for example when filling and emptying 

is carried out via a pump. The filling of a vessel can be for example 

switched on at 10 % and switched off again at 90 %. The output of the 

second channel behaves identically like the first channel provided the 

same mode is set. By changing the mode, the function of the relays 

can be inverted.
With a continuously measuring 4 … 20 mA sensor, the two switching 

points can be set to any position between 0 … 100 %. Take note of 

the operating instructions when using a capacitive sensor, particularly 

the sensitivity setting.

Fig. 8: Application examples with 4 … 20 mA sensor (pressure transmitter or 

capacitive rod probe)

Depending on the mode you now adjust the switching points as 

described in the following.
1.  Make sure that switches 1 and 7 on the DIL switch block are set 

to "

max.

" and switch 6 to "

Two-point control

". The switches for 

the switch-on and switch-off delay should be set to "

0 s

".

2.  The vessel should be empty i.e. only filled until right below the 

requested lower switching point

3.  Set both potentiometers to the left end position, the two yellow 

LED displays do not light

4.  Fill the vessel up to the requested lower switching point

5.  Set the potentiometer "

CH1

" to the right end position, turn the 

potentiometer "

CH2

" slowly clockwise until the two yellow LED 

displays light

6.  Fill the vessel up to the requested upper switching point

7.  Turn the potentiometer "

CH1

" slowly anticlockwise until the two 

yellow LED displays extinguish, the controller is now ready for 

operation

1.  Make sure that switches 1 and 7 on the DIL switch block are set 

to "

min.

" and switch 6 to "

Two-point control

". The switches for 

the switch-on and switch-off delay should be set to "

0 s

".

2.  The vessel should be empty i.e. only filled until right below the 

requested lower switching point

Overflow protection (max. 

operation)

Dry run protection (min. 

operation)
