    Proper Usage The magnetic flow switches of the series FS13, FS14 and FS15 are designed to control the level of liquids which do not attack the device materials. All other usage is regarded as being improper and outside the scope of the device.
  • Page 3: Functional Description

    Functional Description The level switches model FS13, FS14 and FS15 work according to the magnetic float principle. The float is lifted upwards by the rising liquid level in the tank until the magnetic field of the integrated permanent magnet activates a Reed contact.

  • Page 7: Service And Maintenance

    With a visual inspection, the parts of the equipment that come into contact with the storage liquid, its vapors or condensate are checked for possible corrosion. This test can only be carried out from inside the storage container or after removal of the device. FS13 / FS14 / FS15 Instruction manual 02/2018 page 7...
  • Page 8 • The level switches model FS13 work according to the The float level switches FS13 are designed to monitor the level of nearly all liquids which do not affect the used materials, for magnetic float principle. The float is lifted upwards by example as HIGH-alarms or for controlling valves and pumps.
