German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / movement sensor
German term or phrase: dreistufig
2 einkanalige Kontakte (dreistufig, Schließer)

The text is technical data about a movement sensor. This phrase comes under "Eingänge"

There are many possible translations and I am not sure which is correct in this context.

Thanks in advance
