Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose Use level controller NRR 2-40 in combination with level electrode NRG 26-40 only for controlling the liquid level of conductive fluids. Safety Note The equipment must only be installed by qualified staff. Qualified staff are those persons who – through adequate training in electrical engineering, the use and application of safety equipment in accordance with regulations concerning electrical safety systems, and first aid &...
Continuous level monitoring within the control band defined by two preset limits The NRR 2-40 features an optional output for a standard signal 4 – 20 mA. The level data are transferred from the electrode NRG 26-40 to the level controller via a CAN data bus.
Technical Data Type approval no. NRR 2-40: TÜV 98-399 Input / Output Interface for CAN bus to DIN ISO 11898 CANopen Feedback potentiometer 1000 Ω Output – voltage supply for electrodes Power supply 24 V DC, short-circuit protected. Analogue output 4 – 20 mA, load 500 Ω for display of actual value (option).
Installation NRR 2-40 Installation on mounting rail 1. Clip level controller onto mounting rail 35 x 15 mm (DIN EN 50022). 2. Align level controller, fig. 19, 20. Tool Screwdriver (5.5/100) Wiring Note that screened multi-core twisted-pair control cable is required, e. g.
Page 11
Wiring – continued – Attention Wire equipment in series. Star-type wiring is not permitted. Interlink screens of control cables such that electrical continuity is ensured and connect them once to the central earthing point (CEP). To protect the switching contacts fuse circuit with 2.5 A (slow blow) or according to TRD regulations.
The CAN address (node ID) can be set between 1 and 123. The NRR 2-40 is configured at our works and ready for service with other GESTRA system components without having to set the node ID.
Fig. 7 Controller NRR 2-40 The controller type NRR 2-40 is specially designed for level control in steam boilers and feedwater deaerators. The NRR 2-40 is a proportional controller with steady- state deviation. The positive and negative deviation lies within the proportional band ) preselected by the user.

Fig. 12 Attention The GESTRA level controller type NRR 2-40 requires a 1000 Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω feedback potentiometer. The NRR 2-40 works as two-position controller when the terminals for the feedback potentiometer are not wired or the feedback potentiometer is defective.
Operation Normal operation Normal operation, controller is working. LEDs flash when the control valve is motored The green LEDs 2 and 3 flash when the external control valve is opened or closed. All LEDs go out when the setpoint is reached.
Max. admissible temperature in electrode terminal box exceeded No or faulty communication between controller and electrode Malfunction in CAN bus Failure of 24 V power supply unit built in level controller NRR 2-40 Attention The terminal strip of the NRR 2-40 is live during operation.
System Malfunctions – continued – Systematic Malfunction Analysis The sources of malfunctions occurring in CAN bus systems operating with several bus-based stations must be analysed systematically since faulty components or incorrect settings can give rise to negative interactions with intact bus devices in the CAN bus system.

System Malfunctions – continued – System malfunction 1 LEDs flash slowly The four indicator LEDs flash slowly. High/low-level alarm Fault: The max. admissible temperature in the electrode terminal box is exceeded. Remedy: Insulate electrode flange to protect the equipment against heat radiation. As soon as the temperature drops below the max.

System Malfunctions – continued – System malfunction 3 LED “Bus status” flashes slowly. LED flashes slowly Fault : Malfunction in CAN bus. Remedy: Restart system. LED “Bus status” flashes slowly. High/low-level alarm LED flashes slowly Fault: Data transfer in CAN bus interrupted. Remedy: The bus cables have to be correctly connected according to the wiring diagram (observe polarity!).
Power supply unit defective. Remedy: Replace PSU. Operation Malfunctions Attention The terminal strip of the NRR 2-40 is live during operation. This presents the danger of electric shock.

Operation Malfunctions – continued – Fault-finding list for troubleshooting – continued – Device does not work – interference signal Fault: In spite of correct wiring and commissioning of the equipment an interference signal is indicated. Remedy: The interference signal is caused by high-frequency interferences coming from the installation.
