The vibrating level switch is a measuring instrument and must

be treated accordingly. Bending the vibrating element will

destroy the instrument.

Warning:

The housing must not be used to screw in the instrument!

Applying tightening force on the housing can damage its

internal mechanical parts.
To screw in, use the hexagon above the thread.

4.2 Mounting instructions

The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid

buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for

flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use

with adhesive products.

Mount the instrument in such a way that the tuning fork does

not protrude directly into the filling stream.
