A boiler that is operated at 145 psi (10 bar) and 356°F (180°C) may be designed to withstand a pressure of 870 psi (60 bar) and a temperature of 527°F (275°C), for example, which is therefore not necessarily its operating point. NRS 1-51 - USA - Installation & Operating Manual - 850695-00...
Usage for the intended purpose The NRS 1-51 level switch is used in conjunction with NRG 1...-51 level electrodes as a high level alarm for steam boilers and hot water installations. A high level alarm prevents the defined high water (HW) level from being exceeded and switches off the feedwater supply, for example, to achieve this.
Check that the plant is not carrying live voltage before commencing work. ■ Attempts to repair the equipment will cause the plant to become unsafe. The NRS 1-51 level switch may only be repaired by the manufacturer, GESTRA AG. ■ Only replace faulty equipment with identical equipment from GESTRA AG.
Persons trained by the plant operator to work Refits Specialist staff with pressure and temperature. Notes on product liability The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damages resulting from improper use of the equipment. NRS 1-51 - USA - Installation & Operating Manual - 850695-00...
Function The NRS 1-51 level switch is designed for different boiler water conductivities and for the con- nection of a single level electrode. When the water exceeds the high water level, the level electrode is immersed and an alarm is triggered in the level switch.

There is a risk of electric shock during work on electrical systems. Switch off the voltage to the plant before you install the equipment. ■ Check that the plant is not carrying live voltage before commencing work. ■ NRS 1-51 - USA - Installation & Operating Manual - 850695-00...
Fitting and maintenance work may only be performed by authorized staff who have undergone specific training. Danger The terminal strips of the NRS 1-51 level switch are live during operation! There is a risk of serious injury due to electric shock. Before working on terminal strips (installation, removal, connection of cables), always cut off power to the equipment.
Use UV-resistant cable ducts for routing the connecting cable. ■ Take further measures to protect the equipment from lightning, insects and ■ animals, and salty air. You will need the following tools: Pozidriv screwdriver size PZ1 ■ NRS 1-51 - USA - Installation & Operating Manual - 850695-00...
ATTENTION Incorrect installation can lead to malfunctions in the plant or the level electrode. The NRS 1-51 level switch snaps onto a TH 35, EN 60715 support rail in a control cabinet. Fig. 3 7 NRS 1-51 - USA - Installation & Operating Manual - 850695-00...
If cutting the feed- water supply poses a danger to heating surfaces in the feedwater pre-heater, the heating must be switched off as well. In the event of an alarm, the NRS 1-51 level switch interlock does not take place ■ automatically.
A safety power supply unit (SELV / PELV / CLASS2) must be used to supply ■ the NRS 1-51 level switch with 24 V DC. This must provide a level of isolation against dangerous contact voltages that at least meets the requirements for dou- ble or reinforced insulation in accordance with UL 60730-1 (protective electrical isolation).
