CONNECTION PLAN IN GENERAL The tank content display device LX-2 or LX-2-R is to be used for monitoring of tank levels in pressureless liquid tanks. Aditional functions to liter displaying are e.g. temperature measuring, data transmission or linking to facility management systems.
STRUCTURE The LX-2 (-R) has an eight characters LCD display and a measuring input for a level probe. The LX-2-R type additionally provides 2 programable relays, with opening and closing contacts. The measuring probe can be mounted with a screw joint of R1 “ or R1½ “.
(Cable shielding has to be grounded.) Supply voltage: Voltage: AC 230 V 50 Hz Clamps: PE (protective conductor), N (neutral conductor), L (phase). Power line is not included in accessories. P. 3 LX-2 / LX-2-R Mounting and Instructions Version: 07-2009...
LX-2-R : Relay connection The LX-2-R type has two relays for controlling external electric circuits or for alert signaling. In case of failure or minimum level (or temperature limit) the relay outputs 6-7 and 9-10 are linked and the relay outputs 5-6 and 8-9 are opened; refer to PCB print.
E.g. in case of a 100 m subgrounded tank the exact value chould be 288 cm = 2880 mm. P. 5 LX-2 / LX-2-R Mounting and Instructions Version: 07-2009...

CONNECTION PLAN for Tank-Spion Digital LX-2 and LX-2-R (with relays) Complete set : LX-2 : Art-Nr. 12032 Complete set : LX-2-R : Art-Nr. 12033 Maintenance: Check if the displayed liters are correct: Two practical options are: - Lift the probe above the liquid level. Then check if ~ 0 L is displayed - Check the mm value displayed in Step ‘11.
