With this DIL switch (2) you can set the switching point to liquids hav-
ing a density between 0.5 and 0.7 g/cm³ (0.018 - 0.025 lbs/in³). With
the basic setting, liquids with a density of ≥ 0.7 g/cm³ (0.025 lbs/in³)
can be detected. In liquids with lower density, you must set the switch
to ≥ 0.5 g/cm³ (0.018 lbs/in³). The specifications for the position of the
switching point relate to water - density value 1 g/cm³ (0.036 lbs/in³).
In products with a different density, the switching point will shift in the
direction of the housing or tuning fork end depending on the density
and type of installation.
Note:
Keep in mind that foams with a density ≥ 0.45 g/cm³ (0.016 lbs/in³)
are detected by the sensor. This can lead to erroneous switchings,
particulary when the sensor is used for dry run protection.
