    3. Description or an LC2300 (for a pneumatically actuated The Spirax Sarco LC2400 is used to connect a level controller to the 4 - 20 mA output signals valve). The LC2400 has 'steam' and 'water'...
  • Page 3 5. Wiring Screened cable is recommended for the LC2400 wiring. The LC2400 is powered by the current loops (4 -20 mA) and so needs no separate power supply. Figures 1 to 4, pages 4, 5, 6, and 7, show the wiring connections for various applications.

    8. Maintenance No special servicing or maintenance of the LC2400 is necessary. Boiler water level controls and level alarms, however, do require regular testing and inspection. General guidance for the UK is given in Health and Safety Executive Guidance Note PM5. For specific instructions for Spirax Sarco systems please see separate literature.
