1. Clip switching controller onto mounting rail 35 x 15 mm (DIN EN 50022). 2. Align switching controller, Fig. 7 Note If an external measuring pot is used, each level electrode type NRG 1…41 requires one switching controller type NRS 141 and one GESTRA monitoring unit SRL 640.

Electrical Connection Control cable NRS, NRR, LRR, TRS, URB 1 To wire the equipment, screened multicore twistedpair control cable must be used for the bus line, e. g. UNITRONIC BUS CAN 2 x 2 x ... mm or RE2YCYVfl 2 x 2 x ... mm ®...
If a safety power supply unit (e. g. SITOP smart, 24 V, 2.5 A) is used for the voltage supply of the CAN bus do not tap the supply voltage from the terminals 1 and 5 of the GESTRA control devices.
Electrical Connection – continued – Wiring diagram & Fig. 8 Attention Do not connect terminals 19 – 24 and 26, 27, 28 and 30! Do not connect terminals 10, 11 and 12!

Startype wiring is not permitted! Link screens of control cables such that electrical continuity is ensured and connect them once to the central earthing point (CEP).
The CAN address (node ID) can be set between 1 and 123. The NRS 141 is configured at our works and ready for service with other GESTRA system components without having to set the node ID.
Basic Settings – continued – Node ID Water level limiter NRS 140 NRG 1640 (1) NRG 1640 (2) Reserved Reserved X + 1 X + 2 X + 3 X + 4 Factory setting Safety system for steam boilers with superheater NRS 140.1 NRG 1640 (1) NRG 1640 (2)
If several identical systems are to communicate in a CAN bus network, set a different node ID for each system (e. g. limiter, controller, etc). In most cases the default GESTRA setting can be used. To set code switches 8 and 9 detach the lower terminal strip 0.
Commissioning NRS 141 Apply power to the unit. The four status LEDs flash rapidly. The LED “Power” lights up. The test cycle takes about 3 sec. Note To analyse and eliminate malfunctions that may occur during the commissioning procedure refer to section “System Malfunctions”. Operation NRS 141 Normal operation, electrode exposed.
Alarm NRS 141 There is one alarm condition: High level alarm for water level limiter Highwater level alarm for water level limiter LED 1 flashes rapidly. LED 1 remains permanently illuminated after the deenergizing delay. Deenergizing delay: 3 sec. (default) Note The switching controller does not have its own lockout circuit.

System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 1 LED 1 flashes slowly. A system malfunction in level electrode was detected. Hold down button LED 1 and LED 2 are flashing slowly. Fault: The max. admissible temperature in the terminal box of the electrode has been exceeded.
System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 2 LED 3 flashes slowly. A communication malfunction in the bus line between the control unit and level electrode was detected. Hold down button LED 1 flashes slowly. Fault: The bus lines C and C have been mixed up.
System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 3 LED 4 flashes slowly. A malfunction in the level switch has been detected. Fault: No voltage or switchedmode voltage across terminal 25, the selftest is not succesful. Remedy: Wire control unit as first device in the safety circuits and in accordance with wiring diagram (ensure permanent voltage across terminal 25).
System Malfunctions – continued – Error message 5 LEDs 1 to 4 are flashing slowly or LED “Bus status” is flashing slowly. Fault: Data transfer between control unit and electrode interrupted. Remedy: The bus cables have to be correctly connected according to the wiring diagram (observe polarity!).
Decommissioning Danger The terminal strips of the equipment are live during operation. This presents risk of severe cases of electric shock! Cut off power supply to the equipment before mounting or removing the terminal strips or the housing cover! Disposal Dismantle the equipment and separate the waste materials according to the material specification.
