•
Ensure that the tip of the probe is located at the desired
switching point giving consideration to the slope angle of
the material.
•
The switch may be installed vertically or horizontally
(at a downward angle) as shown in Figure 1 on page 3.
•
Avoid mounting the sensor in a recess where buildup
could dampen the vibration. See Figure 2.
•
Do not cut or bend the vibrating rod.
IMPORTANT: A deflection plate is required when the
probe is exposed to falling material, collapsed arch, or, in the
case of a low level switch, when the drag force of the empty-
ing material exceed the specifications. The deflector can be
a baffle plate or angle iron (1
6 inches above the rod. See Figure 3.
Observe the specifications for bending force(F),
torque(M), and pull force(F) as indicated below:
See Figure 4.
Standard:
VXK
Extended Rigid:
When using an extended length version for low level
alarm, mount the probe above the outlet of the vessel to
avoid the probe being dragged along by the outflowing
material.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Handling Procedure
F
MAGNETROL electronic instruments are manufactured
to the highest quality standards. These instruments utilize
electronic components which may be damaged by static
electricity present in most work environments. The
following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of
component failure due to electrostatic discharge:
1. Ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. If an
anti-static bag is not available, wrap board in aluminum
foil. Do not place boards on foam packing materials.
