The optional electrical limit switches serve to signal a preset level. 4.3 Transmitter 00T A magnetostrictive transmitter can be mounted outside the bypass tube to teletransmit the level. A continuous standard signal of 4-20 mA is output by means of a fitted transmitter. page 4 NBK-01 K05/0322...
NBK-01 5. Operating Principle Kobold Bypass Level Indicators are used for continuous measurement, display and monitoring of liquid levels. The bypass tube is attached onto the side wall of the vessel. According to the law of communicating tubes the level in the bypass tube equals the level in the vessel.
The height of the switch contacts may be selected at will. The cable connection must point downwards. The switch must be attached close to the bypass tube. The switching function of the switch is impaired by an enlarged air gap. page 6 NBK-01 K05/0322...

Mount and tighten the remote sensor - if available and not already mounted - on the bypass tube with the ribbon clamps. The remote sensor must fully cover both process connections. The cable terminal box is situated at the top. NBK-01 K05/0322 page 7...
When switching inductive loads, such as contactors, relays, etc., electrical limit values should not, also temporarily, be exceeded by e.g. voltage peaks. The use of a contact protection relay is recommended to avoid overloading the reed contacts. page 8 NBK-01 K05/0322...
To avoid faults caused by electrical fields from other circuits, the cables should not be installed adjacent to other high voltage power lines. Unscrew cover and run supply lines through cable gland. Connect the remote sensor to the electronics according to the following wiring diagram. NBK-01 K05/0322 page 9...
Hysteresis Hysteresis is the difference between contact closing and opening points. A hysteresis of approximately 15 mm float travel is achieved by factory tuning of the float magnet and contact strength. page 10 NBK-01 K05/0322...
The bypass tube can now be mechanically cleaned. The inspection window for the roller indication is made of high-quality plexiglas (glass for high-temperature display). It should be cleaned with a suitable cleaning agent. The indicator requires no further maintenance. NBK-01 K05/0322 page 11...
