Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose The level switch NRS 1-53 in conjunction with level electrodes NRG 1.-.. and ER 5. is used as limit switch, for instance in steam boiler and (pressurized) hot-water installations. The level switch detects and indicates two low water levels (MIN 1, MIN 2).
Directives and Standards VdTÜV Bulletin “Wasserstand 100” (= Water Level 100) The level switch NRS 1-53 in conjunction with level electrodes NRG 10-52, NRG 16-52, NRG 16-4 and ER 5.-1 is type approved to VdTÜV Bulletin “Water Level 100”. The VdTÜV Bulletin “Wasserstand (= Water Level) 100” specifies the requirements made on water level control and limiting equipment for boilers.

In the plant: Wiring level electrode - continued - Connection of level electrode The level switch NRS 1-53 can be used in combination with the following level electrodes: Level electrodes NRG 10-52, NRG 16-52, NRG 16-4, ER 50, ER 56,...
Commissioning procedure Danger The terminal strips of the equipment are live during operation. This presents the danger of electric shock! Always cut off power supply to the equipment before mounting, removing or connecting the terminal strips! Changing response sensitivity If the electrical conductivity of water is < 10 μS/cm at 25 °C change the response sensitivity as follows: Cut off supply voltage.
Commissioning - continued - Checking switchpoint and function TEST button MIN 1 LED red/green LED “Power” MIN 2 LED red/green Fig. 12 Start Activity Display Function LED “Power” is illuminated. Switch on supply voltage. Water level between MIN and MIN 1 / MIN 2 electrode rods submerged or LED MIN 1 / MIN 2 illuminated MAX.
Commissioning - continued - Checking switchpoint and function - continued - Possible installation faults Status and indication Error Remedy Cut electrode rods to the length required for the Electrode rods are too long. MIN 1 / MIN 2 switchpoint or Water level below MIN 1/ MIN 2 Cut electrode rod to the length required for MIN Electrode rod is too long.
Operation, Alarm and Test Indicators and adjustors Operation Activity Display Function Water level between MIN and LEDs MIN 1 and MIN 2 are MIN 1 output contact 21/23 open, 22/23 closed. MAX. illuminated green. MIN 2 output contact 16/18 open, 17/18 closed. MIN 1 and MIN 2 alarm (if 2 electrode rods are connected) MIN 1 LED flashes red.
Further Notes Action against high frequency interference High-frequency interference can be caused by out-of-phase switching operations. Should sporadic failures or malfunctions occur take the following remedial actions in order to suppress interference: Provide inductive loads with RC combinations according to manufacturer’s specification to ensure interference suppression.
