Important notes Usage for the intended purpose Use test station NRA 1-3 only in conjunction with electrodes NRG 16-19, NRG 16-27 and NRG 16-28 for monitoring steam traps for banking-up of condensate and loss of steam. Safety note The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and competent staff.
The measuring electrodes NRG 16-27, NRG 16-28 feature an additional temperature sensor for measuring the condensate temperature. The test station NRA 1-3 is designed for the connection of up to max. 16 measuring electrodes and a temperature sensor for measuring the plant temperature.

NRA 1-3. To extend the cable use screened two-core cable, e.g. Ölflex 110 CH, manufac- tured by Lapp, 2 x 0.5 mm². Max. cable length between measuring electrode and test station NRA 1-3: 100 m. Please connect screen to intermediate distribution frame.
Not for NRA 1-3 CAN: Install an easily accessible disconnecting switch for the test station in the close proximity of the equipment (EN 61010-1). Not for NRA 1-3 CAN: Mark the disconnecting switch as isolating device for the test station.
If the settings of switches S1 – S7 are changed during operation, the new settings will only be accepted by the test station after the supply voltage has been switched off and on. Only for NRA 1-3 CAN: Activating CAN bus To activate the CAN bus set code switch S10 1 Fig. 4 to ON.

For more information on the codes HIS, Int and tSt see section “Alarm list, Maintenance interval and Test”, mode 1 to 7 (page 23). Only for NRA 1-3 CAN: Setting node ID and baud rate For the communication with the CAN bus each bus node requires an own address (node ID) and baud rate (speed of data transfer) setting.

Operation, alarm and test - continued - Setting group temperatures in mode 1 and 6 Function To detect banking-up of condensate the temperature of the condensate in the steam trap is compared with the condensate temperature in the plant. The temperature sensor TRG 5-.. (Pt 100) measures the temperature of the plant.
