  • Page 5: For Your Safety

    During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C is a sensor for point level detec- tion. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.

  • Page 6: Safety Label On The Instrument

    Safety instructions for Ex areas For Ex applications, only devices with corresponding Ex approval may be used. Observe the Ex-specific safety instructions. These are an integral part of the operating instructions and are enclosed with every device with Ex approval. OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C • Two-wire 8/16 mA...

  • Page 7: Product Description

    Principle of operation Application area OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C is a point level sensor with tuning fork for point level detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in liquids.

  • Page 8: Adjustment

    3 Product description Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With its tuning fork of only 40 mm length, OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C can also be mounted e.g. in pipelines from DN 32. The small tuning fork allows use in vessels, tanks and pipes. Thanks to its simple and robust measuring system, OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C is virtually unaf- fected by the chemical and physical properties of the liquid.

  • Page 12 "Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions. Fig. 6: Measures against moisture ingress Caution: Transport Do not hold OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C on the tuning fork. Particu- larly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork.

  • Page 13: Mounting Instructions

    This means that every OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C. This seal is not required when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.
  • Page 14 Inflowing medium If OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C is mounted in the filling stream, un- wanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of OPTISWITCH 5100 C, 5150 C gener- ates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
