its current version, provided that it is not rendered invalid or replaced by these supplementary
instructions.

1.2 Device description

The reed-chain level transmitter is attached adjacent to the measuring chamber of the BM26A
series bypass level indicator. The measuring chamber is certified for use in hazardous areas
under CSAE 21UKEX6533X or CSAE 21UKEX6534X. The reed-chain level transmitter changes a
variable resistance from a reed chain to an analog or digital output. This resistance agrees with
the level of the float in the measuring chamber.
This equipment is approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres when equipped with the
appropriate options.
