Data Sheet 819203-03 Issue Date: 09-2024
Level Switch
NRS 1-52
Description
Technical data
The level switch NRS 1-52 in conjunction with level electrodes
NRG 16-.. and ER 5. is used as limit switch, for instance in steam boiler and (pressurized) hot-water installations.
The ­level switch detects and indicates a MIN and a MAX water level.
The level switch can work with following level electrodes:
NRG 10-52, NRG 16-52, NRG 16-36, NRG 16-4 and ER 5.-1.
Supply voltage 24 VDC, + / –20 %, 0.1 A
Function
NRS 1-52
The operation of the level switch NRS 1-52 is based on the conductive measuring principle using the electrical conductivity of the water for signalling water level. The level switch
is designed for different electrical conductivities and for connecting two level electrodes.
The length of the associated electrode rod determines the
MIN and MAX water level switchpoints.
The level switch detects that the MIN or MAX water level is reached when the corresponding electrode rod is exposed or
submerged. After the de-energizing delay has elapsed, the
MIN or MAX output contact is switched over. At the same time the MIN or MAX LED changes from green to red.
A MIN or MAX alarm can be simulated by pressing the button "Test".
Application in potentially explosive atmospheres Do not use the equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
