This document describes the Meder Electronic MK3 Series cylindrical reed sensors. The sensors use magnetically operated reed switches in a cylindrical case with an interconnect cable. They are intended to be used as position sensors or limit switches by mounting one part on a fixed surface and placing a magnet on a moving surface. The sensors come in various case sizes and cable lengths, and offer five operate sensitivities. They are available with different contact forms and terminations to suit various applications like position indication, door/window contacts, and level sensing.
