Page 2: Table Of Contents
Introduction / Table of Contents Step One The LC52 Series Continuous Relay Controller is a general-purpose level controller which provides single tank level indication with dual relays and a repeater 4-20 mA output. The LC52 Series features both a single 12A SPDT and a single 12A Latching SPDT relay. -

Flammable or Explosive Applications: The LC52 series continuous relay controllers should not be used with explosive or flammable liquids, which require an intrinsically safe or explosion proof rating. If you are unsure of the suitability of a controller for your installation, consult your Flowline representative for further information. -
Page 6: Getting Started
Getting Started Step Four FEATURES OF A SINGLE INPUT HIGH OR LOW RELAY: Single Input Relays (Relay 1 or Relay 2 w/ latch turned OFF) are designed to switch from a single set-point. It turns its internal relay ON or OFF (as set by the invert switch) in response to the presence of liquid, and changes the relay status back again when the sensor is dry. -
Page 7: Features Of The Latching Relay (Automatic Fill Or Empty)
Getting Started Step Four FEATURES OF A LATCHING RELAY (AUTOMATIC FILL OR EMPTY): The latching relay (relay 2 only) is designed to switch a relay on and off at two different levels. It turns its internal relay ON or OFF (as set by the invert switch) in response when the level is above the high setting or below the low setting. -
Page 8: Guide To Controls
Getting Started Step Four GUIDE TO CONTROLS: Below is a listing and the location of the different components for the controller: 1. Power indicator: This Green LED lights when AC power is ON. 2. Relay indicator: This Red LED will light whenever the controller energizes the relay, in response to the transmitter input and after the time delay. -
Page 9: Configuration (Display)
Getting Started Step Four CONFIGURATION (DISPLAY): The key to configure the LC52 series is to match the 4-20mA operational range of the transmitter, using the OFFSET and SPAN settings to set the 4-20mA operational range on the LC52. OFFSET: Equivalent to the 4 mA set point on the transmitter. Enter the value you would like to see when the LC52 receives 4 mA. -

Getting Started Step Four Note: The half digit will appear when scaling between 0.0 and 199.9. If the display is scaled above 199.9, the half digit and the decimal point disappear. If OFFSET = 0 and SPAN = 190, then the display will be scaled as follows: 0.0 to 190.0. ... -

Wiring Step Five WIRING TO INPUT TERMINAL: Signal input is always through the 24 VDC terminal. The 28 VDC terminal is used as an alternative power supply for three-wire devices. Please note a difference between 2-wire and 3-wire level transmitters and sourcing and sinking modes below. Below is a quick review of wiring the LC52 series to common 4-20 mA transmitters. -
Page 12: Setting Input Polarity
Wiring Step Five SETTING INPUT POLARITY (SOURCING VS. SINKING MODES): The LC52 can be set in one of two modes, sourcing and sinking. The LC52 is shipped from the factory in the sourcing mode. This is compatible with any loop powered transmitter such as the EchoSonic (LU23, LU27, LU28 &... -
Page 13: Relay & Power Terminals
Wiring Step Five RELAY AND POWER TERMINALS Depending on the model selected, there will be either one or two relays. The label for the relay applies for both relays. Each terminal has a Normally Open (NC), Common (C) and Normally Open (NO) terminal. The relay(s) is(are) a single pole, double throw (SPDT) type rated at 250 Volts AC, 10 Amps, 1/4 Hp. -
Page 14: Application Examples
Application Examples Step Six LOW LEVEL ALARM: The goal is to make sure that an operator is notified if the liquid level falls below a certain point. If it does, an alarm will sound, alerting the operator of a low level. A setting for the low level is configured in the controller. -
Page 15: Automatic Fill
Application Examples Step Six AUTOMATIC FILL: This system consists of a tank with a valve controlled by the LC52. At a low set point, the valve opens, filling the tank. At the high set point, the valve closes. Part of a proper fail-safe design for this particular system is that if power is lost to the controller for any reason, the valve filling the tank must close. -
