If any large electrical equipment is installed in the vicinity, then earthed steel conduit must be used. KEY DESCRIPTION KSONIK MICRO is “user friendly” having only 5 keys and a menu driven display. The keys are listed below with their appropriate functions.
This is used to set up the rate of change of the level output. The rate of change governs the rate at which the instrument output change. By increasing the rate of change (4.00 m/min) it will allow the KSONIK MICRO to monitor rapid changes in level.

TIP: Set the relay set and reset point further apart to avoid the relays from chattering. Below is what KSONIK MICRO will display on the above application. Relay 1 will switch on (set) when the level rises above 13.2 ft / 4.00 m and reset when the level goes below 11.55 ft / 3.50 m. Relay 2 will switch on (set) when the level drops below 3.28 ft / 1.00 m and reset when the level goes above 4.95 ft / 1.50 m.
