Before the first use of the level meter please read carefully the instructions provided in this User's Guide and keep it for future use. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes without previous notice. RIELS INSTRUMENTS SRL | ph. +39 049 8961771 | www.riels.it...
The output is then set on the basis of the surface height. The outputs of the RIL330 level meter are current 4 -20 mA, voltage 0 - 10 V and industrial line RS-485 with Modbus RTU communication. The output of the RIL331 sensor consists of a PNP transistor with an open collector and a two-state current switch 4 mA / 20 mA.
If the measured surface interferes with the dead zone, the device will not measure properly. *) To loosen the level meter can be used suitable wrench. RIELS INSTRUMENTS SRL | ph. +39 049 8961771 | www.riels.it...

Wiring operations shall only be carried out without voltage! Taking into account the potential occurrence of electrostatic discharge on non-conducting parts of the level meter, it is necessary to ground the flange of level meters RIL330–Xi– 20–F and sensors RIL331–Xi–20–F, located in an explosive atmosphere, using a ground terminal! It is also necessary to design and take measures to reduce the effects of static electricity to a safe level in the wiring.
