Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose Use the logit unit SRL 6-40 only in conjunction with external low-water (LW) level limiters or high-water (HW) alarms for monitoring the independent purging process of the connecting lines for the measuring pot. Safety note The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and competent staff.
Explanatory Notes Scope of supply SRL 6-40 a 1 Logic unit in field case for wall mounting 1 Installation & operating manual Description If the LW / HW level electrodes are installed in external measuring pots, the periodic purging process of the connecting lines is imperative.
Explanatory Notes – continued – Function Fig. 1 shows a water level limiting system using a level electrode installed inside the boiler and a second electrode installed in an external level pot. However it is also possible to install 2 external level electrodes NRG 1x-4x, 2 logic units SRL 6-40, 1 level switch NRS 1-40.1, NRS 1-40.2.

Explanatory Notes – continued – Function – continued – If the purging time (5 min.) is exceeded, the logic unit sends the command “Open safety circuit” and “Evaluate limiter signal of LW level electrode 1 (2)” to the control unit. The command will only be cancelled when the purging process is successfully finished.

Start, Operation, Alarm and Test Switching equipment on The interval time starts running once the system is switched on. The interval time can be synchronized any time by closing one of the connecting valves (E or D), which means that the purging time starts running and the interval time is reset to its initial value (e. g. 24 h or 72 h etc.).
Start, Operation, Alarm and Test – continued – Purging time The purging time is indicated by the flashing text line and the remaining purging time is shown. The logic units informs the control unit NRS 1-40.1, NRS 1-40.2 via CAN bus that the purging process has started. During purging the control unit NRS 1-40.1, NRS 1-40.2 ignores the signal from the level electrode.
Start, Operation, Alarm and Test – continued – Purging – continued – The required sequence of operations are indicated by text or symbols shown on the screen (open / close; / ). The purging process is finished when all valves signal that they are in their initial positions. Specify the type of installation (steam boiler or hot-water plant) when entering the settings.
Start, Operation, Alarm and Test – continued – Test Checking the functional chain Press button “TEST” on the screen of the logic unit to start the purging time outside the interval time. Hold down the button for at least 3 sec. The beginning of the TEST run is indicated by the flashing text messages “TEST”...

Decommissioning Procedure and Disposal Decommissioning Unplug the male and female connectors of the CAN bus line and plug them together. Attention: If the CAN bus line is interrupted, the control unit will raise an alarm and the safety circuit will be interrupted. Also unplug the connector of the connecting cable leading to the intermediate distribution frame.
