Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose The level electrode NRG 16-50 S is used in conjunction with level switch NRS 1-50 (de-energizing delay: 15 seconds) as water-level limiter for steam boilers and (pressurized) hot-water installations on board of seagoing vessels, mobile offshore platforms or river boats. Water level limiters switch off the heating when the water level falls below the set minimum level (low water).
Important Notes – continued – Safety note Water level limiters are safety devices and 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 –...
