The DC1 controller is for use with Hawker sensing electrodes for detecting conducting liquids. The DC1 can be used with two electrodes to provide high or low level alarm or with three electrodes to provide control between two levels such as for pump control.
100m. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS The DC1/P has a facia plate which shows the user settings and LEDs, this can be found under its snap ON/OFF cover. Page 4 of 11...
The DC1 sensitivity control and switches are found on the PCB. Green Led On when DC power is applied. Red Led On when control relay is energised. Sensitivity See section 5.1. Control DIL Switch Switch 1 Upper position sets Fail Safe to High. Relay de-energises when liquid is sensed.
1. With the timer turned OFF (DIL switches 2 & 3 in the lower position) turn the sensitivity control fully anticlockwise. Raise the liquid level to immerse the P1 electrode tip by at least 5mm. Slowly turn the sensitivity clockwise until the relay changes state i.e.
Setting the Master/Slave switch The following application drawings show the DC1/P terminal blocks but also apply to the appropriate connection on the DC1. Application 1: Single controller for Alarm or Control application When using a single controller with up to three electrodes in a vessel, switch 4 must be set ‘down’...
4. Try to keep each controller P1 and P2 electrodes close together; do not mount them in the conductive path of other controllers’ electrodes. Application 3: Multiple controllers with separate ‘G’ electrodes in the same vessel. Configure the controllers as master devices switching DIL switch 4 to the lower position.
General Electrode Considerations Try to keep each individual controller’s electrodes together as a set i.e. do not locate an electrode of one controller in-between the electrodes of another. Always place the G in the centre of the active electrodes to shorten the conductive paths.
