29962-EN-060830
OPTISWITCH 3300 C - with transistor output 7
OPTISWITCH 3300 C is a level sensor with tuning fork for level
detection.
Page 8
Product description
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process
technology and is preferably used for bulk solids.
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. Thanks
to its simple and robust measuring system, OPTISWITCH
3300 C is virtually unaffected by the chemical and physical
properties of the bulk solid.
It functions even when exposed to strong external vibration or
changing products.
Solid detection in water
If OPTISWITCH 3300 C was ordered for detection of solids in
water, the tuning fork is adjusted to the density of water. In the
air or when covered by water (density: 1 g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in)
OPTISWITCH 3300 C signals "uncovered". Only if the
vibrating element is also covered with solids (e.g. sand,
sludge, gravel etc.) will the sensor signal "covered".
Fault monitoring
The electronics of OPTISWITCH 3300 C continuously monitors the following criteria:
l Correct vibrating frequency
l Line break to the piezo drive
If one of the stated malfunction is detected or in case of power
failure, the electronics takes on a defined switching condition,
i.e. the output transistor blocks (safe condition).
Physical principle
The tuning fork is piezoelectrically energised and vibrates at its
mechanical resonance frequency of approx. 150 Hz. When the
tuning fork is submerged in the product, the vibration
amplitude changes. This change is detected by the integrated
oscillator and converted into a switching command.
Power supply
OPTISWITCH 3300 C is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be
operated without external evaluation system. The integrated
electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching
signal. With this switching signal, a connected device can be
directly activated (e.g. a warning system, a PLC, a pump etc.).
The exact range of the power supply is stated in the "Technical
data" in the "Supplement".

Product description
3.3 Operation
With the factory setting, products with a density of >0.02 g/cm³
(>0.0008 lbs/in³) can be measured. The instrument can also
be adapted to products with lower density >0.008 g/cm³
(>0.0003 lbs/in³).
On the electronics module you will find the following indicating
and adjustment elements:
l signal lamp for indication of the switching condition (green/
red)
l potentiometer for adaptation to the product density
l Mode switch for selecting the switching condition (min./
max.)
3.4 Storage and transport
Packaging
Storage and transport tem-
perature
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.
Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured
by a test according to DIN 55439.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ-
ment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. In addition, the sensor is
provided with a protective cover of cardboard. For special
versions PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the
packaging material via specialised recycling companies.
l Storage and transport temperature see "Supplement -
Technical data - Ambient conditions"
l Relative humidity 20 … 85 %

Mounting
4 Mounting
4.1 General instructions
Switching point
Moisture
In general, OPTISWITCH 3300 C can be mounted in any
position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that
the vibrating element is at the height of the requested switching
point.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your OPTISWITCH 3300 C additional protection
against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable
downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation
water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to mounting
outdoors, in areas where moisture is expected (e.g. by
cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.
Fig. 2: Measures against moisture penetration
Transport
Do not hold OPTISWITCH 3300 C on the vibrating element.
Especially with flange and tube versions, the sensor can be
damaged by the weight of the instrument.
Remove the protective cover just before mounting.
Pressure/Vacuum
The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low
pressure in the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is
resistant against the measured product and the process
temperature.
The max. permissible pressure is stated in the "Technical
data" in the "Supplement" or on the type label of the sensor.

Mounting
Handling
Agitators and fluidization
The vibrating level switch is a measuring instrument and must
be treated accordingly. Bending the vibrating element will
destroy the instrument.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw in the instrument!
Applying tightening force on the housing can damage its
internal mechanical parts.
To screw in, use the hexagon above the thread.
4.2 Mounting instructions
Agitators, equipment vibration, etc., can cause the level switch
to be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not
use an overly long extension tube for OPTISWITCH 3300 C,
but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of
the vessel in horizontal position.
Extreme vibration caused by the process or the equipment, e.
g. agitators or turbulence in the vessel e.g. from fluidization,
can cause the extension tube of OPTISWITCH 3300 C to
vibrate in resonance. This leads to increased stress on the
upper weld joint. Should a longer tube version be necessary,
you can provide a suitable support or guy directly above the
tuning fork to secure the extension tube.
This measure applies particularly to applications in Ex areas.
Make sure that the tube is not subjected to bending forces
through this measure.
Inflowing medium
If OPTISWITCH 3300 C is mounted in the filling stream,
unwanted switching signals may be generated. Mount OPTI-
SWITCH 3300 C at a location in the vessel where no disturbing
influence from e.g. filling openings, agitators etc. can occur.
This applies particularly to instrument types with long
extension tube.

Mounting
Fig. 3: Inflowing medium
Lock fitting
Socket
Material cone
OPTISWITCH 3300 C can be mounted with a lock fitting for
height adjustment. Take note of the pressure information of the
lock fitting.
The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid
buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for
flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use
with adhesive products.
In silos for bulk solids, material cones can form and change the
switching point. Please keep this in mind when installing the
sensor in the vessel. We recommend selecting an installation
location where the vibrating fork detects an average value of
the material cone.
The tuning fork must be mounted at a location that takes the
arrangement of the filling and emptying apertures into account.
To compensate measurement errors caused by the material
cone in cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a
distance of d/6 from the vessel wall.

Selecting the connection ca-
ble
Generally not the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the
sensors and power supply units.
Connect the power supply according to the following diagrams.
Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule,
connect OPTISWITCH 3300 C to vessel ground (PA), or in
case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the
side of the instrument housing there is a ground terminal
between the cable entries. This connection serves to drain off
electrostatic charges. In Ex applications, the installation
regulations for hazardous areas must be given priority.
The data for power supply are stated in the "Technical data" in
the "Supplement".
OPTISWITCH 3300 C is connected with standard cable with
round cross-section. An outer cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm
(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable entry.
If cable with a different diameter or wire cross section is used,
exchange the seal or use an appropriate cable connection.
In hazardous areas, only use approved cable connections for
OPTISWITCH 3300 C.

On the electronics module you will find the following indicating
and adjustment elements:
l Potentiometer for switching point adaptation (1)
l DIL switch for mode adjustment - min./max.(2)
l Signal lamp (5)
Note:
As a rule, always set the mode with mode switch (2) before

Set up
Switching point adaptation (1)
Mode adjustment (2)
Signal lamp (5)
With the potentiometer you can adapt the switching point to the
solid. It is already preset and must only be modified in special
cases.
By default, the potentiometer of OPTISWITCH 3300 C is set to
the right stop (>0.02 g/cm³ or >0.0008 lbs/in³). In case of very
light-weight solids, turn the potentiometer to the left stop
(>0.008 g/cm³ or >0.0003 lbs/in³). OPTISWITCH 3300 C will
thus be more sensitive and can detect light-weight solids more
reliably.
For instruments detecting solids in water, these values are not
applicable. The potentiometer is preset and must not be
changed.
With the mode adjustment (min./max.) you can change the
switching condition of the transistor output. You can set the
required mode acc. to the "Function chart
" (max.-max.
detection or overfill protection, min.-min. detection or dry run
protection).
We recommend connecting according to the quiescent current
principle (transistor blocks when the switching point is
reached) because the transistor output takes on the same
(safe) condition if a failure is detected.

7.1 Maintenance
When used as directed in normal operation, OPTISWITCH
3300 C is completely maintenance free.
7.2 Rectify faults
Causes of malfunction
Fault rectification
Checking the switching signal
OPTISWITCH 3300 C offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless
faults can occur during operation. These may be caused by the
following, e.g.:
l Sensor
l Process
l Power supply
l Signal processing
The first measure to be taken is to check the output signal. In
many cases, the causes can be determined this way and the
faults rectified.
? OPTISWITCH 3300 C signals "covered" when the vibrating
element is not submerged (overfill protection)
? OPTISWITCH 3300 C signals "uncovered" when the
vibrating element is submerged (dry run protection)
l Supply voltage too low
à Check the power supply
l Electronics defective
à Press the mode switch (min./max.). If the instrument
then changes the mode, the instrument may be
mechanically damaged. Should the switching function
in the correct mode still be faulty, return the instrument
for repair.
à Push the mode switch. If the instrument then does not
change the mode, the oscillator may be defective.
Exchange the oscillator.
à Check if there is buildup on the vibrating element, and if
so, remove it.
l Unfavourable installation location
à Mount the instrument at a location in the vessel where
no dead zones or mounds can form.
à Check if the vibrating element is covered by buildup on
the socket.
