(e.g. the VDE regulations in Germany) as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules. 2.5 CE conformity OPTISWITCH 3000 C is in CE conformity with EMC (89/336/ EWG), fulfils the NAMUR recommendation NE 21 and is in CE conformity with NSR (73/23/EWG).
Housing cover Housing with electronics Process fitting 3.2 Principle of operation OPTISWITCH 3000 C is a level sensor with tuning fork for level Area of application detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and is preferably used for bulk solids.
This change is detected by the integrated oscillator and converted into a switching command. OPTISWITCH 3000 C is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be Power supply operated without external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal.

Mounting 4 Mounting 4.1 General instructions In general, OPTISWITCH 3000 C can be mounted in any Switching point position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the requested switching point.
To achieve a very precise switching point, you can install Horizontal installation OPTISWITCH 3000 C horizontally. However, if the switching point can have a tolerance of a few centimeters, we recommend mounting OPTISWITCH 3000 C approx. 20°...
