The leakage sensor carries out the seal monitoring function and signals the ingress of moisture into the motor by means of a special electronic device. In order to integrate this seal monitoring function into the control panel of the unit it is necessary to fit a Sulzer leakage control module. Figure 10. Sulzer leakage control type CA 461 CA 461 Connect terminal 3 to ground or housing of the pump.
It is very important to note that with the connection example above it is not possible to identify which sensor/alarm is being activated. As an alternative Sulzer highly recommends to use a separate CA 461 module for each sensor/input, to allow not only...
