4.Perform electrical connection via the terminal block in the
housing.
Caution! Inductive or capacitive loads or loads due to
lamps may lead to permanent damage to the reed
switch.
• Inductive loads may be generated by
electromagenetic relays, electromagnetic valves and
other components.
• Capacitive loads may be generated by capacitors
that are connected in series or in parallel with the
reed switch. Capacities may be generated by this in
a closed loop with a cable length of 50 m or more.
• Loads due to lamps are produced by activating lamp
components that have a low cold resistance.
• Exceeding the maximum switching capacity may
lead to damages. This includes voltages that are
larger than the given maximum switching voltages.
Setting the switching mechanism
1NC: closed without flow (normally closed contact)
2NO: open without flow (normally open contact)
The NC setting opens the contact and the NO setting closes it if
the increasing flow activates the reed switch.
1.Loosen both screws on the upper cap of the reed switch. Do
not remove screws!
2.Move the reed switch so that the selected switching
mechanism is visible (NO or NC).
3.Retighten screws on the upper cap.
