Declaration of Conformity We, Grundfos, declare under our sole responsibility that the product LC/LCD 108, to which this declaration relates, is in conformity with these Council directives on the approximation of the laws of the EC member states: — Machinery Directive (98/37/EC).
CONTENTS 1.1 Applications The LCD 108 enables: Page • control of two pumps based on signals from float switches, General Applications • automatic pump changeover (even distribution of operating Variants hours on both pumps), • selection of automatic test run during long periods of inactivity Location and mounting Location (every 24 hours),...
Note: Cables of up to 100 metres can be connected between the Float switches placed in an explosion hazard area controller and the float switches. must be connected via an EEx barrier, e.g. Grundfos number 96440300. The EEx barrier must not be installed in the explosion hazard area.
Note: Float switches of the same type as Grundfos product At this setting, the start-up is delayed within the range number 96003332 or 96003695, i.e. float switches with from 0 to 255 sec. (random) after the electricity supply gold-plated contacts suitable for low voltages and currents (40 V/ has been switched on when the liquid level is 100 mA), must be used.

AC/DC selector: The AC/DC selector switch for electrodes and/or float switches is placed as shown in fig. 3. Fig. 3 Operation with electrodes and float switches: Selector switch in position AC: It is possible to connect 3 13-18 VAC electrodes (1 as reference electrode) and 2 float switches.
The table below shows the situations which may occur if the 3.3 Control panel normal electricity supply to the LCD 108 fails and a back-up Parallel operation with 3 float switches, pages 23 and 24. battery is connected: Figure 4 shows the control panel of the CU 212 module. = the indicator light is off.
Float switches placed in an explosion hazard area position 0. must be connected via an EEx barrier, e.g. Grundfos Any external voltage connected to the system must number 96440300. be switched off before work is started.
Note: Float switches of the same type as Grundfos product • Switch 4, starting delay and automatic test run number 96003332 or 96003695, i.e. float switches with (only in the case of battery back-up): gold-plated contacts suitable for low voltages and currents (40 V/ When the DIP switch setting is changed, the controller must 100 mA), must be used.
AC/DC selector: 4.3 Control panel The AC/DC selector switch for electrodes and/or float switches is Parallel operation with 4 float switches, pages 25 and 26. placed as shown in fig. 6. Figure 7 shows the control panel of the CU 212 module. 2 3 4 CU 212 Fig.
4.4 Battery back-up functions Parallel operation with 4 float switches, pages 25 and 26. If a back-up battery for CU 212 (accessory for certain variants) is installed, the following functions will be carried out if the normal electricity supply to the LCD 108 fails (see also the illustrations below): •...
4.5 Reset button and ON-OFF-AUTO selector switch Parallel operation with 4 float switches, pages 25 and 26. The reset button is a push-button for manual resetting of alarm signals to external alarm devices and the built-in buzzer (i.e. not for resetting of the alarm memory as this is reset by means of the ON-OFF-AUTO selector switch, see position OFF ( )).
Furthermore, the cables into the explosion hazard area must be laid in accordance with local regulations. Note: Float switches of the same type as Grundfos product number 96003332 or 96003695, i.e. float switches with gold-plated contacts suitable for low voltages and currents (40 V/100 mA), must be used.
