substances and mainly for level control in silos or tanks. The sensor has a relay
output with adjustable time delay and sensitivity.
In general
The sensor should only be used within its design specifications. Incorrect use
may result in personal injury or damage to other equipment.
If the sensor shows signs of malfunction or leakage, stop the process
immediately and remove it for repair or replacement.

CB32 with no delay output:
The relay operates (connection between black and yellow wires) and remains
ON until the sensor is activated. After activation of the sensor, the relay re leas-
es and the LED goes ON.
CB32 with ON-delay output:
When the sensor is not activated, the relay operates (connection between
black and yellow wires) and the LED is OFF. When the sensor is activated, the
time measurement starts and the LED flashes. After expiration of the set time,
