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 1.7 Safe working practices for maintenance and installation work The safety instructions given in this operating manual, any nationally applicable regulations on accident prevention and any of the operating company's internal work, operating and safety guidelines must be observed.
2 | Product and functional description FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH 2 Product and functional description 2.1 Delivery scope • Capacitive filling level probe NC57 as per specification (see order code) • Operating manual 2.2 Device versions NOTICE! All housing are filled with a PU compound mass.
Product and functional description | 2 2.3 Intended use The capacitive filling level probe NC57 serves to measure tank filling levels in tanks containing fresh water, waste water or faeces. Filling level heights of between 400 and 2000 mm can be measured. The probe can be used for tanks made of metal.
: Initial capacitance (probe exposed) : End capacitance (probe covered) Fig. 4: Assembly of the NC57 There must be at least 10 mm between the bottom of the tank and the end of the rod due to the possible formation of sediment or in case the tank needs to be moved (e.g.
FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH Assembly | 3 3.3 Electrical connections • By authorized and qualified specialized personnel only. • When connecting the unit, the national and international electro-technical regulations must be observed. • Disconnect the system from the mains, before electrically connecting the device.
4 | Start-up FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH 4 Start-up 4.1 General All electrical lines must have been installed properly before the start-up takes place. All connections must be arranged so that there are no mechanical forces acting on the device.

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.
