Please inspect the devices using the packing slip. All options are listed here. 4. Regulation Use Any use of the model: NBK-M which exceeds the manufacturers specification may invalidate its warranty. Therefore any resulting damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.

NBK-M 4.1. Bypass measuring tube system The bypass tube is attached at the side of the vessel with a connecting flange or a threaded coupling. The installation position is always vertical. The NBK should only be used for liquids with the medium density specified on the nameplate.
5. Operating Principle The NBK-M is a bypass tube which is attached to the top and bottom of a vessel. The liquid level in the bypass tube will equalize with the liquid level in the vessel and will therefore will correspond to the level in the vessel to which it is attached.
NBK-M 6. Mechanical Connection Remove bottom flange from bypass tube, and insert the cylindrical float in the NBK bypass tube with the designa- Standpipe tion "TOP" at the top. Re-position the Indicator gasket and close the bottom flange again; firmly tighten the flange bolts.
*Please note: The colors of internal cables are for internal connections only and therefore can only be seen in transducers with terminal box. When connecting transducer to a Kobold transmitter, for example models DFA, DST or DFM, please read the relevant operating instructions.
NBK-M Service in hazardous areas To operate the transducer in hazardous areas, the measuring circuit must contain the appropriate intrinsic safety barrier to separate intrinsically safe circuits from non-intrinsically safe circuits. Specially designed liquid level transducers with a total resistance of 40 k Ohm are required for this purpose. Only the resistive transducer (option W) can be installed in hazardous locations.
NBK-M 7.4. Magnetostrictive Pick-up with 4-wire Transmitter (option ..T..) • Ensure that the electrical supply lines are de-energized. • To avoid faults caused by electrical fields from other circuits, the cables should not be laid in conduits with power cables.
NBK-M The float must pass the switch once in both directions so that the switching function is in line with the wiring diagram and table on page 10. Note that the switch cable must point downwards. These instructions are often ignored when an alarm lamp is connected and it is assumed that the switch is damaged.
