Conductive Level Switch model: LNK 4. Regulation Use Any use of the Conductive Level Switch, model: LNK, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification, may invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.
5.2. External electrode relay (e.g. NE-104, 304) When the LNK is used as a 3-stem or 4-stem probe (2 or 3 switching points), the evaluation takes place with an external electrode relay (see instruction manual and technical details of the external electrode relay).
Do not harm the isolation of the electrode. After shortening, make sure that the E-CTFE isolation is removed of about a length of 5 mm from the tip of the electrode. LNK K06/0422 Page 5...
4 sleeve segments for M12 and G 1/2”; 8 sleeve parts for G1” Attention! In order to avoid deforming or red-hot turning of the sleeve, pauses between individual sleeve segments should be sufficient enough to allow cooling down of the sleeve. Page 6 LNK K06/0422...
We recommend the use of wires with cross sectional area of min. 0,25 mm² Attention! A wrong connection of the plug pins can damage the unit’s electronic! 7.1. Connection without evaluating electronic (head transmitter) Model LNK-...00K, LNK-...00S Reference: wall of vessel (only possible with an electrical conductive connection to the metal tank)
7.2. Connection with evaluating electronic (head transmitter) Model LNK-...NPK, LNK-...NPS 1. Electrode unit: Switching point equal to the electrode length, earthing through vessel wall 2. Electrode unit: 1 electrode as switching point external 1 Power supply: +V / GND* link...

7.4. Plug assignment of M12-plug with evaluating electronics (head transmitter) Model LNK-...NPS 1 Power Supply + Vs / GND 2 Sensitivity + Vs / GND / open 3 Power Supply GND / +Vs 4 Output: Transistor PNP 7.4.1. Setting the output function at option M12-plug The output function (full/empty signal) is switchable by changing the polaritiy of the supply voltage.
