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 central earthing point (CEP).

Basic Settings CAN bus All level and conductivity controllers and associated electrodes are interconnected by means of a CAN bus adopting the CANopen protocol. Every item of equipment features an electronic address (Node ID). The four-core bus cable serves as power supply and data highway for high-speed data exchange. The CAN address (Node ID) can be set between 1 and 123.

Commissioning Check wiring Check whether the level electrode NRG 6-42 and the associated level switch NRS -42 have been wired according to the wiring diagram. Fig. 11 Apply mains voltage Turn on the power for level switch NRS -42. Operation Level electrode with CAN bus During operation the level switch detects the level electrode via CAN bus. The communication via CAN bus is faultless –...

Malfunctions continued Fault finding list for troubleshooting continued The equipment fails to work – no function Fault: LED “Power” does not light up. Remedy: Apply mains voltage. Wire equipment according to the wiring diagram. Fault: The thermal fuse has been triggered. Remedy: The ambient temperature must not exceed 70°C. The LED I does not light up. No data exchange. Fault: Remedy: Check level switch NRS -42.
Decommissioning Danger Risk of severe burns and scalds to the whole body! Before removing the level electrode make sure that the vessel and the measuring pot are depressurised (O bar) and cooled down to room temperature (20 °C). Disposal Remove the level electrode and separate the waste materials, using the material specifications as a reference.
