Electrical connection Alarm activation principle An oil leak detection signal detected by NAR300 float sensor is converted into a current signal inside the converter or sensor I/F Ex box. The signal is then connected to the current detection circuit through the intrinsically safe safety barrier inside the converter. In the...
Diagnostics and troubleshooting NAR300 system Diagnostics and troubleshooting Fail-safe (alarm is output when there is no oil leak) The following situations may cause an alarm to be output even when there is no oil leak. Item Description Frozen pit water An alarm is activated when the conductivity sensor detects an insulator due to frozen pit water.

NAR300 system Diagnostics and troubleshooting Item Description Oil leak during snowfall No alarm will be activated if there is snow floating on the oil layer surface, as the conductivity sensor will recognize water due to the moisture from the melted snow.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting NAR300 system Operation check To perform an operation check, assign one person to operate the float sensor and another person to check the operation of the on-site sensor I/F Ex box or Ex d converter NRR261. Avoid electrostatic charge on the float.

Diagnostics and troubleshooting NAR300 system 7.3.1 Operation check flowchart A0047844 The voltage upon turning on the power supply is DC20 ± 1V in ATEX, IECEx, FM, and JPN Ex specifications, but this will change to DC18 ± 2V after several seconds.
Page 47
NAR300 system Diagnostics and troubleshooting Before performing an alarm operation check, take measures to prevent the alarm system from being affected even when an oil leak alarm is activated. For the operation check process, see "Operation check flowchart" in the previous section. The diagram below shows the checkpoints for the voltage checks indicated in the flowchart.
NAR300 system Cleaning the conductivity sensor unit Normally, NAR300 checks the conduction state between the electrode tip and the float body; if there is conduction, it recognizes "water" and if there is no conduction, it recognizes "oil or air." Since the electrode holder is connected to the float body, it determines that "water"...
8.1.2 Periodic maintenance While the NAR300 float sensor is not easily affected by deposits or adhered material, conduct overall periodic inspections of the cable and wiring, etc., semi-annually along with an operation check as follows.
General information on repairs 9.1.1 Repair concept The Endress+Hauser repair concept assumes that the devices have a modular design and that repairs can be done by the Endress+Hauser Service Department or specially trained customers.
