Mounting 4 Mounting 4.1 General instructions In general, OPTISWITCH 3300 C can be mounted in any Switching point position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the requested switching point.
Agitators and fluidization to be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for OPTISWITCH 3300 C, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.

Note: As a rule, always set the mode with mode switch (2) before starting the setup of OPTISWITCH 3300 C. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch (2) afterwards. This could possibly trigger other connected instruments or devices.
It is already preset and must only be modified in special cases. By default, the potentiometer of OPTISWITCH 3300 C is set to the right stop (>0.02 g/cm³ or >0.0008 lbs/in³). In case of very light-weight solids, turn the potentiometer to the left stop (>0.008 g/cm³...
