Application Usage for the intended purpose The level switch NRS 1-51 is used in conjunction with level electrodes NRG 1...-.. as high level alarm in steam boilers and (pressurised) hot-water plants. A high level alarm prevents the water level from exceeding the preset max. water level (HW) and for this purpose switches off e.
(pressurised) hot-water installations. Functional Safety acc. to IEC 61508 The level switch NRS 1-51 is certified acc. to IEC 61508 only if used in combination with level elec- trode NRG 1...-51. This standard describes the functional safety of safety-related electrical/electronic/ programmable electronic systems.
Directives and Standards – continued – ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible) According to the European Directive 2014/34/EU the level switch NRS 1-51 must not be used in potentially explosive areas. Note The level electrodes NRG 1...-51, NRG 1...-12 are simple items of electrical equipment as specified in EN 60079-11 section 5.7.
Functional Safety acc. to IEC 61508 Safety characteristics of the subsystem NRG 1...-51 / NRS 1-51 The level switch NRS 1-51 is certified acc. to IEC 61508 only if used in combination with level electrodes NRG 1...-51. The equipment combination NRG 1...-51 / NRS 1-51 corresponds to a type B subsystem with Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3.
Functional Safety acc. to IEC 61508 – continued – Determination of the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for safety-related systems Level electrode, level switch and actuators (auxiliary contactors in control circuit) are subsystems and together constitute a safety-related system that executes a safety function.

Installation Mounting level switch NRS 1-51 The level switch NRS 1-51 is clipped onto the support rail 7 type TH 35, EN 60715 in the control cabinet. Fig. 6 Electrical Connection Connection of supply voltage Provide the level switch NRS 1-51 with an external semi-delay fuse 0.5 A. If the equipment is supplied with 24 V DC use a safety power supply unit with safe electrical isolation.
