    4.2. Electrical Limit Switches (option) The optional electrical limit switches serve to signal a preset level. NBK-R: Bistable changeover contact fitted in a polycarbonate housing with 3m connection cable NBK-RT200/-RT400: Bistable changeover contact fitted in an aluminium die cast housing with terminal connectors 4.3.
  • Page 6 Ex II (1) G [EEx ia] IIC GL version In the pressure stages PN 16 (NBK-03) and PN 40 (NBK- 06) the bypass level indicators are available with GL approval (Germanischer Lloyd). The magnetic roller indication as well as limit contacts and a reed contact chain can be delivered for level indication and evaluation .
