Product description It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and is used in liquids. Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With a tuning fork of only 40 mm length, OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C can be also mounted, e.g.
Product description 3.3 Adjustment The switching condition of OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C with plastic housing can be checked when the housing is closed (LED display). In the basic adjustment, products with a density >0.7 g/cm³ (>0.025 lbs/in³) can be detected. The instrument can be adapted if products with lower density should be measured.
Mounting 4 Mounting 4.1 General instructions In general, OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C can be mounted in Switching point any position. The instrument must be mounted in any position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the requested switching point.

Functional safety For the implementation of FMEDA (Failure Mode, Effects and Assumptions Diagnostics Analysis) the following assumptions form the basis: Failure rates are constant, wear of the mechanical parts is not taken into account Failure rates of external power supplies are not included Multiple errors are not taken into account The average ambient temperature during the operating time is +40°C (104°F)
Functional safety The safe condition of the measuring system is the switched off Safe condition and fault description status (quiescent current principle): SWE60T (transistor output) – Transistor blocks A fail-safe failure (safe failure) exists if the measuring system changes to the defined safe condition without demand of the process.
Functional safety If due to the detected failure, the electronics or the complete sensor is interchanged, the manufacturer must be informed (incl. a fault description). 9.5 Recurring function test The recurring function test serves to reveal potential danger- ous errors that are otherwise not discernible. The function of the measuring system must be checked at adequate intervals.
