The equipment must only be used within the admissible pressure and temperature ratings. Function The conductivity electrode LRG 16-9 is used in combination with the following equipment as conductivity limiter and continuous blowdown controller in steam boilers: Conductivity switch LRS 1-7...
Important notes - continued - Safety note The equipment must only be installed, wired and commissioned by qualified and competent staff. Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified staff who - through adequate training - have achieved a recognised level of competence. Danger When loosening the conductivity electrode steam or hot water might escape! This presents the risk of severe scalding all over the body!
The VdTÜV Bulletin "Water Monitoring 100" states the requirements made on water monitoring equipment. Approvals for Marine Applications The conductivity electrode LRG 16-9 in conjunction with conductivity switch LRS 1-7 is approved for feedwater monitoring on seagoing vessels. See data sheet. ATEX (Atmosphère Explosible) The equipment is a simple item of electrical equipment according to DIN EN 50020 section 5.4.

Flange Thickness diameter of flange Fig. 6 Conductivity electrode LRG 16-9 with mounting flange for sandwiching between flanges.
The conductivity electrode is mounted in a bypass below the main line. This arrange- ment prevents gas bubbles and flash steam from reaching the equipment. Fig. 7 A throttling point, e. g. a non-return valve (GESTRA type RK 86) should be installed in the main line.
This arrangement prevents gas bubbles and flash steam from reaching the equipment. Please see also installation instructions for OR 52-5 / OR 52-6. Fig. 8 A throttling point, e. g. a non-return valve (GESTRA type RK 86) should be installed in the main line.
Electrical connection Connecting the conductivity electrode The conductivity electrode LRG 16-9 is equipped with a sensor plug-in connection type M 12, with 5 poles, A-coded, pin assignment see Fig. 9. For connecting the electrode preconfigured control cable assemblies (with male and female connectors) of various lengths are available as add-on equipment.
Check connection of electrode lines. If necessary, replace equipment. high. Short circuit in electrode lines. Temperature sensor defective, temperature reading Check conductivity electrode LRG 16-9 and, if necessary, too low. replace it with a new one. Check wiring (short circuit, Temperature sensor defective, temperature reading interruption?) too high.
Re-install the conductivity electrode. Observe the notes given in section "Installation" and "Electrical Connection". Removing and disposing of the conductivity electrode Remove and discard conductivity electrode LRG 16-9 1. Detach sensor sleeve from the conductivity electrode. 2. Before removing the equipment make sure that is is neither hot nor under pressure.
