The bypass tube is attached at the side of the vessel with a connecting flange or a threaded pipe. The installation position is always vertical. The NBK should only be used for liquids with the medium density specified on the nameplate.
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.

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 .
6. Mechanical Connection Remove bottom flange from bypass tube, and insert the cylindrical float in the NBK bypass tube with the designa- tion "TOP" at the top. Re-position the gasket and close the bottom flange again; firmly tighten with screws.

Hysteresis Hysteresis is the difference between contact closing and opening points. A hysteresis of approximately 15 mm float travel is achieved by factory tuning of the float magnet and contact strength. NBK K01/0906 page 13...
The bypass tube can now be mechanically cleaned. The inspection window for the roller indication is made of high-quality plexiglass (glass for high-temperature display). It should be cleaned with a suitable cleaning agent. The indicator requires no further maintenance. page 14 NBK K01/0906...
