Connection 6.3 Switching logic (universal voltage, DPDT) Switching logic (universal voltage, DPDT) FSH: Use this setting when sensor is used as a full detector. Power failure or line break is regarded as "full" signal (protection against overfilling). FSL: Use this setting when sensor is used as an emp‐ ty detector.
Connection 6.5 Alarm output - fail-safe option (universal voltage, DPDT) Alarm output - fail-safe option (universal voltage, DPDT) ① Yellow or green ② ③ Fault ④ No fault Switching and timing behavior: If the vane is not covered, the rotating vane shaft will send pulses at 20 second intervals.
Please note the following: • The user is responsible for all changes and repairs made to the device. • All new components must be provided by Siemens. • Restrict repair to faulty components only. • Do not re-use faulty components.

Technical reference Principle of operation A low revolution gearing motor drives a rotating measuring vane. When material reaches the rotating vane, rotation stops, actuating a switch. When the vane is no longer covered, rotation resumes and the switch reverts to its normal condition. The synchronous induction motor is freely suspended within the housing.
