Regulation of two levels, minimum/maximum
The output relay changes state when the level of the liquid reaches the maximum
level probe, with the minimum level probe submerged. It returns to its initial state
when the minimum level probe is no longer in contact with the liquid.

Note: The probe cable, with a maximum length of 100 metres (recommended probes,
see page 28550/2) need not be screened, but it is inadvisable to fit it in parallel with the power
supply cables.

Screened cable may be used, with the screening connected to the common.
