  • Page 4: Properties Of The Separix System

    – Interface sensor SEPARIX-C L Plus – High-level sensor SEPARIX-T L Plus – SEPARIX-Control CT measuring transducer The measuring transducer serves as power supply and signal processing of the sensors. The sensors transmit a signal to the connected measuring transducer whenever the oil / light liquid layer exceeds a defined thickness (interface sensor) or whenever the liquid level in the separator rises above an impermissible threshold (high-level sensor).

  • Page 6: The Separix Sensors

    3.1.1 … of the interface sensor SEPARIX-C L Plus The SEPARIX-C L Plus interface sensors, in conjunction with the SEPARIX-Control CT meas- uring transducer, form an automatic warning device for light liquid separators. The warning system responds to a change in the thickness of the oil / light liquid layer. It generates an alarm signal before the automatic closure device shuts off the outlet of the separator due to a high oil / light liquid level.

    3.1.2 … of the high-level sensor SEPARIX-T L Plus The SEPARIX-C L Plus high-level sensor, in conjunction with the SEPARIX-Control CT meas- uring transducer, forms an automatic warning device for light liquid separators. The warning system responds to the level of liquid in the separator (whether oil, light liquid or water). It generates an alarm signal whenever the liquid level in the separator rises above an imper- missible threshold, e.g.

The SEPARIX-Control CT measuring transducer with a connected SEPARIX-T L Plus high-level sensor is only operational after the sensor has heated up. According to the ambient temperature this heating phase can last up to 2 minutes.
  • Page 20: Faults And Alarms

    Faults and alarms In case of a fault or an alarm the factory-set SEPARIX-Control CT triggers with the buzzer an audible alarm signal. In case of a fault, additionally the yellow fault LED blinks, and with an alarm, additionally the red alarm LED blinks.
