Important notes Usage for the intended purpose The level electrode NRG 26-40 is used for continuous level monitoring in steam boilers and (pressur- ized) hot-water installations or in condensate and feedwater tanks. In conjunction with the level switch NRS 2-40 and the level controller NRR 2-40 the electrode can be used for instance as water level controller with MIN/MAX alarm.
System components NRS 2-40 Digital switching controller for level electrode NRG 26-40. Functions: Four liquid levels with one switchpoint each, MAX alarm, MIN alarm, pump ON, pump OFF with one switchpoint each, liquid level continuously within the predefined control band of the electrode.
Directives and Standards VdTÜV Bulletin "Wasserüberwachung 100" (= Water Monitoring 100) The level electrode NRG 26-40 in conjunction with the following control equipment is type approved according to VdTÜV Bulletin "Wasserstand 100": NRS 2-40 and NRR 2-40. The VdTÜV Bulletin "Wasserstand (=Water Level) 100" specifies the requirements made on water level control and limiting equipment for boilers.

Installation Note The level electrode NRG 26-40 can be installed together with one GESTRA level elec- trode for water level limiting or for high-level alarm in a single protection tube or exter- nal level pot (inside diameter 100 m). Fig. 5 - 8. If the level limiting electrode is installed inside the vessel, it must be at least 40 mm away from the upper vent hole.
Installation - continued - NRG 26-40 1. Check seating surfaces. Fig. 3 2. Place supplied joint ring 3 onto seating surface of the threaded standpipe or flange. Fig. 3 3. Apply a light smear of heat resistant silicone grease (e. g. WINIX ®...

The max. baud rates and cable lengths indicated above are based on empirical values obtained by GESTRA. In certain cases it may be necessary to reduce the baud rate in order to ensure operational safety. The type of wiring has a strong influence on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) ...
If a safety power supply unit (e. g. SITOP smart, 24 V, 2.5 A) is used for the voltage supply of the CAN bus do not tap the supply voltage from the terminals 1 and 5 of the GESTRA control devices.
Basic settings - continued - Factory setting The level electrode features the following factory set default values: Baud rate: 250 kB/s Attenuation of the measuring signal: 19 sec. Node ID: 041 Establishing / changing node ID If several identical systems are to communicate in a CAN bus network, set a different node ID for each system (e.
Commissioning procedure Applying supply voltage Check that the level electrode NRG 26-40 is connected to the associated control unit NRS 2-40 or the level controller NRR 2-40 according to the wiring diagram. Fig. 11, 12 + 15 Apply supply voltage to the control unit NRS 2-40 or the level controller NRR 2-40.
6. Unplug the CAN bus connector. Set the original node ID and baud rate. Plug in the CAN bus connector. The level electrode NRG 26-40 works now with the new attenuation setting. 7. Put housing cover a in place and fix it with screws =.
Troubleshooting Indication, diagnosis and remedy Attention Before carrying out the fault diagnosis please check: Supply voltage: Is the level electrode supplied with the voltage specified on the name plate? Wiring: Is the wiring in accordance with the wiring diagram? Indication of malfunctions Equipment does not work accurately Error Remedy...
