Operating instructions 4. Regulation Use Kobold model NWS Liquid-Level Switches are designed to be wired as 2-wire or 3-wire switches and can be universally installed in any position in containers and piping. They can be used in many types of liquids including oils, water, paints and varnishes, sauces, milk, carbonated liquids and foamy oils.
The NWS operates as a two-wire switch in series with the load. The simple electronic switch is operated by the liquid. The NWS can also be connected to a PLC through a third terminal. Special Features: The NWS has a switch status indicator with LED, which can be seen continuously through a lens in the cover.
LI value of 0,65 µH m per each meter of supplied cable should be considered. 6.3 Designation Model: NWS***2E* **** II 1 G Ex ia IIC T6 Ga BVS 03 ATEX E 119 IECEx BVS 13.0004 Identification number: 0158 Production-No.: SN: E999999 (consecutively numbered)
When working on electrical and pneumatic plants, the special safety requirements shall be observed. The NWS switch can be installed in containers or piping by screwing it into a threaded mounting flange or other type of mounting device. The threaded con- nection must be sealed with Teflon (PTFE) tape.
Attention! Be sure that the supply voltage of your system is the same as that specified on the device nameplate. Make sure that the electrical supply lines are de-energised when connecting the device! 8.1 NWS-...200 Series wiring with a 2-wire connection Please note: ...

8.2 NWS-...23/24; NWS-...2W/2H; NWS-...2E (ATEX certification) Make sure that the electrical supply lines are de-energised. Connect the device using the M12x1 plug or a connection cable as shown in the wiring diagram below. Matching connectors with different cable lengths are optionally available.
The LED provides visual confirmation that the NWS is operating correctly and that the status of the wet side is correctly displayed. With its oper- ating mode switch, the NWS can be set to operate as either an N/C contact or an N/O contact.

The magnet supplied with the device can be used to switch off the electrical output of the NWS- independent of status of the tuning fork. In this case, the magnet must be placed on the location indicated on the device nameplate. After approximately 2 seconds, the NWS- switches the output off and the LED begins blinking.
