3.2 Intended use

The optoelectronic level switches should only be used for level control or monitoring of
liquid media. Their scope of application is defined by their technical performance limits
and materials. Improper use is defined as any application that exceeds the technical
performance limits or is not compatible with the materials. Checking against improper use is
the responsibility of the operator.
The liquids must not have any large contamination or coarse particles and must not have
■
a tendency to crystallise. Ensure that the wetted materials of the switch are sufficiently
resistant to the medium being monitored. Not suitable for dispersion, abrasive liquids,
highly viscous media and colours.
This instrument is not permitted to be used in hazardous areas!
■
In hazardous areas, check the usability of the model OLS-C51 intrinsically safe switch.
The responsiveness of the instrument is preset. With the models OLS-C01, OLS-C02,

OLS-C04 and OLS-C05, the responsiveness can be adjusted if the switch is fitted with a
trimmer.
Avoid any shock loading (drops, impacts, etc.) to the glass tip!
