3.3 Setting the switch position
Before starting-up, the bistable Reed contact must be properly set, in relation to the float in the level
gauge. This can be accomplished by using the control magnet (PHÖNIX part BG10XXXXMAKU, delivered
with liquid level gauges). This is moved up or down along the switch according to figs. 3a and 3b. The
switching function can be tested using an appropriate alarm or ohmmeter on the terminals 1 and 3. In this
case the system voltage, external wires must be disconnected !
4 Operating instructions
4.1 Two-step action with overlap with one PHÖNIX type 740.0060 level switch
Due to the Hysteresis of the bistable level switch type 740.0060 (see chapter 9) it can be used for a two-
step action of liquid levels.
