Important Notes Usage for the intended purpose Use level electrode NRG 26-2 only in conjunction with level switches NRR 2..., NRS 2... or NRT 2... for indicating liquid levels. Note that the equipment must not be used in explosion risk areas. Safety note The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified and adequately trained per- sonnel.
Explanatory Notes Scope of supply NRG 2621 Level electrode NRG 26-2 with joint ring D 27 x 32 DIN 7603, .430 bright annealed Installation manual System description The level electrode NRG 26-2 works according to the capacitance measurement principle. The NRG 26-2 is used for signalling different levels in electrically conductive and non-conductive liquids: Levels maintained within the control band defined by two preset limits The preamplifier NRV 2-29 is integrated in the terminal box of the level electrode.

Electrical Connection NRG 2621 Electrical connection via four pole connector. Note that screened four core cable, e. g. I-Y(St)Y 2 x 2 x 0.8 or LICYC 4 x 0.5 mm is required for wiring the electrode. Max. length 00 m with conductivities from 0 μS/cm. Max.
Electrical Connection – continued – Wiring diagram 2 V DC ≥ 0 V ≤ 7 V DC NRG 2621 Fig. 10 Setting measuring range Adjust the preamplifier NRV 2-26 integrated in the terminal box ! to the operating conditions prevailing in your installation before putting the level electrode into operation. Make sure that the measuring range setting is correct for your application and check whether the fluid to be controlled is electrically conductive or not before commissioning the electrode.
Basic Settings Factory setting The default setting of the code switch " is the max. measuring range for water (conductivity ≥ 20 μS/cm. The max. measuring range is the length % (distance between lower and upper measuring point) plus 26 mm, see Fig. 11. The level electrode features the following factory set default values: Code switch "...

Basic Settings – continued – Note When the measuring points of the electrode are established when the equipment is cold, the measuring points will shift as the temperature increases due to the thermal expansion of the electrode rod. The setting must then be corrected. Commissioning Checking electrical connection .
Operational Malfunctions Faultfinding list for troubleshooting The equipment fails to work Fault: The electrode housing does not have earth connection to the boiler. Remedy: Clean seating surfaces and insert metal joint ring as shown in drawing. Do not insulate the electrode with hemp or PTFE tape. Fault: Mains voltage is not applied to the equipment.
Decommissioning Danger Risk of severe burns and scalds to the whole body! Before removing the level electrode make sure that the vessel or measuring pot are depressurised (0 bar) and cooled down to room temperature (20 °C). Disposal Remove the level electrode and separate the waste materials in accordance with the material specification.
