Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With a tuning fork of only 40 mm length, OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C can be also mounted, e.g. in pipelines from DN 25. The small tuning fork allows use in vessels, tanks and pipes.
Product description 3.3 Operation The switching condition of OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C with plastic housing can be checked when the housing is closed (signal lamp). With the basic setting, products with a density >0.7 g/cm³ (>0.025 lbs/in³) can be detected. The instrument can be adapted if products with lower density should be measured.
Mounting 4 Mounting 4.1 General instructions In general, OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C can be mounted in Switching point any position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the requested switching point.

(e.g. by cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels. Fig. 6: Measures against moisture penetration Do not hold OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C on the tuning fork. Transport Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged by the instrument weight.
OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C has a defined thread starting Welded socket point. This means that every OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C.

For that reason, sockets for flanges and mounting bosses should be avoided when mounting horizontally. If OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C is mounted in the filling Inflowing medium stream, unwanted switching signals may be generated. Mount OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C at a location in the vessel where no disturbing influence from e.g.

This measure applies particularly to applications in Ex areas category 1G or WHG. Make sure that the tube is not bent by this measure. Fig. 9: Lateral straining of OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C Instruments with enamel coating should be treated very Enamel coating carefully and shocks should be avoided.
Select power supply Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect OPTISWITCH 5200 C, 5250 C to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.
