Usage for the intended purpose In combination with NRS 1-.. level switches, the NRG 10-52, NRG 16-52 level electrode indicates when up to four different water levels have been reached. The level electrode and level switches are installed in steam boilers and hot water installations or in condensate and feedwater tanks, e.g., as a water level controller with MIN/MAX alarm.
Check that the level electrode is not leaking when bringing into service. ■ Attempts to repair the equipment will cause the plant to become unsafe. The NRG 10-52, NRG 16-52 level electrode may only be repaired by the ■ manufacturer, 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.
