1 | Safety instructions FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH 1 Safety instructions 1.1 General This operating manual contains basic instructions for the installation, operation and maintenance of the device that must be followed without fail. It must be read by the installer, the operator and the responsible specialist personnel be- fore installing and commissioning the device.
FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH Safety instructions | 1 1.6 Inadmissible Modes of Operation The operational safety of this instrument can only be guaranteed if it is used as intended. The instrument model must be suitable for the medium used in the system.
• Operating manual 2.2 Intended use The capacitive filling level probe NC56 serves to measure tank filling levels in tanks containing fresh water, waste water, faeces, diesel fuel, chemicals and extinguishing foam. Filling level heights of between 400 and 2000 mm can be measured.

Status LED brown blue black Output µC Probe : Start capacity (probe free) : End capacity (probe covered) Fig. 4: Function diagram 2.5 Design and mode of operation An AC voltage signal is exerted onto two metal rods held at a defined distance to each other.
As standard, the device is intended for assembly in a size 1¼ mounting flange. If a protection tube is used, a pipe connection suitable for a size 2 mounting flange is used. The NC56 is suited only for vertical installation and, if possible, should be mounted at the highest point of the tank.

FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH Start-up | 4 Useful information about the calibration If the filling levels change, the calibration can be repeated at any time. If just one of the two filling levels changes, it is sufficient to recalibrate only the corres- ponding value.
5 | Servicing FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH 5 Servicing 5.1 Maintenance The instrument is maintenance-free. We recommend the following regular in- spection to guarantee reliable operation and a long service life: • Check the function in combination with downstream components.
