Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose Use switching controller NRS 140 only in conjunction with GESTRA level electrodes NRG 1640, NRG 1740, NRG 1940 or NRG 11140 for signalling lowwater level (min. alarm). Safety note The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and adequately trained personnel.
Explanatory Notes Scope of supply NRS 140 1 Switching controller NRS 140 (plugin unit in plastic case with terminals) 1 Terminating resistor 120 Ω 1 Installation and service manual Description The controller type NRS 140 is a selfmonitoring lowwater level limiter with periodic selfchecking and monitoring feature of the output relay contacts, to be used in conjunction with one level electrode type NRG 1640, 1740, 1940 or NRG 11140.
Explanatory Notes – continued – Function – continued – The automatic selftesting routine checks the switching controller every 3 seconds and the sensors (e.g. the level electrodes) every 10 seconds. During each selftesting routine the error messages will be stored in the switching controller. The error messages remain stored until the cause of the fault(s) is eliminated.

The fourcore bus cable serves as power supply and data highway for highspeed data exchange. The CAN address (Node ID) can be set between 1 and 99. The NRS 140 is configured at our works and ready for service with other GESTRA system components without having to set the node ID.
Basic Settings – continued – Note The node ID “3” for the second level electrode NRG 1...40 must be set on site, because the level electrode NRG 1...40 features the default factory setting node ID “2” when supplied. Note that a wire link on the electronic circuit board of the second level electrode NRG 1...40 must also be repositional.
Commissioning NRS 140 Apply power to the unit. The four indicator LEDs flash rapidly. The LED “Power” lights up. The test cycle takes about 3 sec. Note To analyse and eliminate malfunctions that may occur during the com missioning procedure refer to section “Malfunctions” and “System Malfunctions”. Operation NRS 140 Normal operation, electrode(s) submerged.
Test Cycle – continued – NRS 140 – continued – Press button briefly (1 sec.). LED 2 flashes rapidly and remains permanently illuminated after 3 s. A lowlevel alarm is simulated for electrode 2. This test cycle is performed for the waterlevel limiting system (two level electrodes).
Emergency Operation Danger The terminal strip of the NRS 140 is live during operation. This presents the danger of electric shock. Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strips or the housing cover. Emergency operation of waterlevel limiting system If one level electrode fails to operate the system can continue to operate in emergency mode under constant supervision according to TRD 401 with one level electrode: 1.

System Malfunctions Danger The terminal strip of the NRS 140 is live during operation. This presents the danger of electric shock. Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strips or the housing cover. NRS 140 Faulty installation and/or configuration of CAN bus components, excessive temperatures in the devices, defective electronic component parts or electromagnetic interferences of the supply system can result in system malfunctions.
System Malfunctions – continued – Danger The terminal strip of the NRS 140 is live during operation. This presents the danger of electric shock. Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strips or the housing cover. Systematic malfunction analysis The sources of malfunctions occurring in CAN bus systems operating with several busbased stations must be analysed systematically since faulty components or incorrect settings can give rise to nega tive interactions with intact bus devices in the CAN bus system.
System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 1 LED 1 is flashing slowly. A system malfunction in level electrode 1 was detected. Hold down button LED 1 and 2 are flashing slowly. Fault: The max. admissible temperature in the terminal box of the electrode has been exceeded.
System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 2 LED 2 is flashing slowly. A system malfunction in level electrode 2 was detected. Hold down button LED 1 and 2 are flashing slowly. Fault: The max. admissible temperature in the terminal box of the electrode has been exceeded.

System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 3 – continued – Hold down button LED 2 flashes rapidly. Fault : Bus lines C and C are interchanged. Remedy: Connect bus lines according to the wiring diagram. Fault: The operating mode setting is not correct: Water level limiter (one level electrode) or water level limiting system (two electrodes).
System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 4 LED 4 is flashing slowly. A malfunction in the level switch has been detected. Fault: No voltage or pulsetriggered voltage across terminal 25, selfchecking routine unsuccessful. Remedy: Wire NRS 140 as first device in the safety chain. Wire NRS 140 according to wiring diagram (ensure constant voltage supply across terminal 25).
– continued – Error message 6 LEDs 1 to 4 are flashing slowly and/or GESTRA LED “Bus status” is flashing slowly. NRS 1-40 Test Fault: Data transfer between switching controller and electrode interrupted. Remedy: The bus cables have to be connected correctly according to the wiring diagram (observe polarity!).
Decommissioning Danger The terminal strip of the equipment is live during operation. This presents the danger of electric shock. Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strip and the housing cover. Disposal Remove the equipment and separate the waste materials in accordance with the material specification.
