2x10-5 s/cm. 1 pc 3/8” (for KSP-201,
Conductive switch can only be used for detecting of level i.e. it is suitable to establish the KSS-201, KSN-201)
presence of liquid at a given level of the tank.
1 pc 1½” for a KSH-20†
The level switch comprises NIVOCONT KRK-30† processor and NIVOCONT KS†-20†
probe duly selected in accordance with the task. The length of the probe, penetrating into − M6 nut (standard SW):
the tank, is to be cut according to the level to be detected. If the material of the tank or its 3 pcs for KSH-202
inside insulation is not conductive, in addition to the one, two, three or four probe(s) 4 pcs for KSH-203, KSH-204
reference probe should be used. − M6 nut (non-st. SW):
Conductive level switch can provide solution for switching tasks of automatic filling and 1pc for KSH-204
emptying. The state of the relay, assigned to the level to be detected, can be transferred
and transmitted e.g. to a control room for monitoring or triggering alarm signal. Manufacturer:

The power up of the switch will be indicated by the green LED, the energised state of the
Pg16 relay by the yellow LED. Desired operation of the unit can be selected by the switch on the
front panel. Delay in energising the relay can be selected with the potentiometer DELAY on
SW=22 the unit KRK-302.

Unisolated reference probes 22 NIVOCONT KRK-301 processor can be used for alarm indication. The LOW-HIGH switch on
the front panel is to be set to LOW or HIGH position according to the desired alarm indication
of low or high level. In case of power cut the de-energised state of the relay can be used for
∅6 triggering alarm.

The sensitivity of the relay unit is maximum 50 kΩ, however it can be decreased to maximum
10 kΩ by connecting terminal points 4 and 5 of the KRK-301 as well as terminal points 3, 4

If the wall of the tank is conductive no reference probe is needed. In this case the point ˝C˝
should be connected to the wall of the tank.
When connecting wires of the probes to the processor by the fixing M4 nut it must not be
tighten stronger than 6 Nm.
