Control Unit 1.3.1 Model 20-35-NM-F (Field Mount Version) The Control Unit is housed in an enclosure with green (“normal”) and red (“alarm”) indicating lights on the front cover. An adjustable selection of 1, 2, 4, or 6 seconds of time delay in the control unit circuit will prevent false or premature contact transfer caused by momentary tilting of probe.
1.3.2 Model 20-35-NM-DIN (Internal Cabinet Version) This Control Unit version must be used ONLY inside an electrical cabinet or a enclosure with degree of protection IP 65 min. The Control Unit is housed in an enclosure with the following indicating lights on the front cover: led (red) OFF for Probe Tilted led (red) ON for Probe Alarm (Failure or Probe supply...

Model 20-35-NM-DIN This model is suitable for installation ONLY inside an enclosure with proper mechanical protection. 1. The Control Unit should be mounted in a vibration, heat and humidity free area where the ambient temperature does not fall below -40°C (-40°F) or exceed 50°C (122°F).
Probe Installation 1. The probe must be installed in a vertical position, suspended at a flexible joint that allows free movements in all directions. 2. Carefully chose the location of the Probe. It is very important to choose the right installation position so the material flow will cause a tilt action and not bury the probe.

Chapter 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting INFORMATION The manufacturer accepts no liability for any cause, either direct or indirect, of injury to persons and damage to objects resulting from the incorrect, improper, or negligent use of the unit, or from inexperience or negligent running and/or maintenance of the unit itself.
Control Unit Model 20-35-NM-F Check Procedure 1. Check the power supply voltage. Make sure the AC voltage selector SW4 is set to the proper voltage. The proper voltage must be present between the HOT and NEUT terminals. 2. Check the state of the “Probe Fault” relay K2 and (red) indicator LED 2. If the probe is open-circuited, or the probe cable is shorted, the LED 2 is ON and relay K2 energized.
