Abstract
A limit level switch includes an integrated position sensor which, when the limit level switch is put into operation, detects information about the installation position of the limit level switch inside a container. This positional information is taken into account when evaluating the measurement signals detected by the limit level switch in order to determine whether or not the measuring probe is surrounded by filling material. This can simplify the evaluation method.
