Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose Use the level controller NRR 240 only in conjunction with GESTRA level electrode NRG 2640 for controlling liquid levels of conductive fluids. Safety note The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and competent staff. Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified staff who –...
If the CAN bus line is interrupted the level controller sends a visual signal to indicate a malfunction and the relays 1 and 4 will be instantaneously deenergized. (fail safe position). GESTRA's control terminal & display units URB enable advanced features such as adjustable energizing and deenergizing delays of the output relays (1 to 25sec.) System components NRG 2640...

Electrical Connection – continued – CAN bus wiring diagram URB 2 NRS, NRR, LRR, NRG, LRG, TRS, URB 1 EF, URZ RES 1 RES 2 Fig. 11 Attention Wire equipment in series. Startype wiring is not permitted! Link screens of control cables such that electrical continuity is ensured and connect them once to the central earthing point (CEP).
The CAN address (node ID) can be set between 1 – 123. The equipment has already been configured at our works for operation with other GESTRA components and can be used straight away without having to set the node ID.
Basic Settings – continued – Node ID Water level limiter NRS 140 NRG 1640 (1) NRG 1640 (2) Reserved Reserved X + 1 X + 2 X + 3 X + 4 Factory setting Safety system for steam boilers with superheater NRS 140.1 NRG 1640 (1) NRG 1640 (2)
Basic Settings – continued – Establishing / changing node ID If several identical systems are to communicate in a CAN bus network, allocate a different node ID for each system (e. g. limiter, controller, etc). In most cases it is sufficient to commission the equipment with the default factory settings.
Basic Settings – continued – Dead band To prevent oscillation or repeated activationdeactivation cycles of the controlled system, a deadband can be defined for the septpoint “W”. The setpoint is defined by the proportional range which is limited by the switchpoints 2 and 3. To set the code switch 8 remove the terminal strip 9.

To set the dead band refer to Fig. 16. Dead band in this example: 2 % Apply mains voltage. GESTRA NRR 2-40 The four status LEDs are flashing rapidly. If the LED “Power” is alight, the adjustment was successful. Test If the LED “Bus status”...
When using the operating device URB ... all parameters can be set via its user interface. NRR 240 Apply mains voltage. GESTRA NRR 2-40 The four status LEDs are flashing rapidly. The LED “Power” is illuminated. The system test takes 2 seconds.

Commissioning – continued – Establishing switchpoints and proportional range – continued – Press button briefly. Switchpoint 3 is now saved. Press button briefly. The upper limit of the proportional band X (switchpoint 2) is now selected. Press button briefly. Lower or raise the liquid level until switchpoint 2 within the control range is reached.
Fig. 21 0 Ω Attention Ω For the GESTRA level controller NRR 240 a 1000 feedback potentiometer in an external control valve is required! If the terminals for the feedback potentiometer are not wired or the feedback potentiometer is defective the NRR 240 will work as twoposition controller! Use the control and display units URB 1 and URB 2 for semiautomatic calibration of...

Operational malfunctions Fault finding list for troubleshooting Equipment does not work – no function Fault: LED “Power ON” is not illuminated. Remedy: Switch on mains voltage. Wire equipment according to the wiring diagram. Equipment is not working – a malfunction is indicated Fault: In spite of correct wiring and commissioning of the equipment an error message is indicated.
System Malfunctions 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 strips and the housing cover. NRR 240 Malfunctions occur if CAN bus components have been mounted, wired or configured incorrectly or if electronic component parts are defective, or in the event of excessive heat in the equipment or electrical interference in the supply system.
System malfunctions – continued – Danger The terminal strip of the equipment is live during operation. This presents the risk of severe cases of electric shock! Cut off power supply to the equipment before mounting or removing the terminal strips and the housing cover. Systematic malfunction analysis The sources of malfunctions occuring in CAN bus systems operating with several busbased stations must be analysed systematically since faulty components or incorrect settings can give rise to negative...
