 Important Notes

Usage for the intended purpose

The level electrodes NRG 1...-50 are used in conjunction with level switch NRS 1-50 as water level
limiters for steam boilers and (pressurised) hot water installations.
Water level limiters switch off the heating when the water level falls below the set minimum level (low water).
Function

When the water level falls below the low level, the level electrode is exposed and a low level alarm is
triggered in the level switch NRS 1-50. This switchpoint "Low water level (LW)" is determined by the
length of the electrode tip.
The electrode operation is based on the conductive measuring principle using the electrical conductivity
of the water for signalling water level. The self-monitoring function ensures that an alarm will also be
triggered if the electrode insulation is contaminated or has developed a leak or if there is a malfunction
in the electrical connection.
The level electrode is installed inside steam boilers, vessels or inlet lines of hot-water systems. The
protective tube mounted on site (see section Examples of Installation - pages 16, 17) ensures correct
functioning.
One level electrode NRG 1...-50 can be installed together with one GESTRA level electrode, one level
switch or transmitter for water level control and low level alarm in one single protection tube or level pot.
If the level electrode is installed in an isolatable level pot outside the boiler, make sure that the connec-
ting lines are rinsed regularly. In addition, the logic unit SRL is required to monitor the purging times and
the purging sequence.
If the connecting lines for steam ≥ 40 mm and water ≥ 100mm, the installation is considered to be
internal. In this case the rinsing processes do not have to be monitored.

Safety note
This equipment is a safety accessory and must only be installed, wired and commissioned by qualified
and competent staff.
Retrofitting and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified staff who - through adequate
training - have achieved a recognised level of competence.

Danger

When loosening the electrode steam or hot water might escape!

This presents the risk of severe scalding all over the body!
It is therefore essential not to dismantle the electrode unless the boiler pressure is verified
to be 0 bar.
The electrode becomes hot during operation.
Risk of severe burns to hands and arms.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work make sure that the steam trap is cold.

Attention

The name plate specifies the technical features of the equipment. Do not commission or
operate any item of equipment that does not bear its specific name plate.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Do not use the equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Note

The level electrodes NRG 1...-50 are simple items of electrical equipment as specified in
EN 60079-11 section 5.7. The equipment must be equipped with approved Zener barriers
if used in potentially explosive areas (zones 1 and 2). The equipment does not bear an Ex
marking.
Note that the requirements of the IEC 61508 are not met if the NRG 1...-50 + Zener barri-
ers + NRS 1-50 are interconnected!

 Commissioning, fault indication and troubleshooting
For additional information on commissioning procedures and troubleshooting refer to the installation
manual of the level switch NRS 1-50.

Removing and disposing of the level electrode

Danger

When loosening the electrode steam or hot water might escape!

This presents the risk of severe scalding all over the body!
It is therefore essential not to dismantle the electrode unless the boiler pressure is
­verified to be 0 bar.
The electrode becomes hot during operation.
Risk of severe burns to hands and arms.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work make sure that the steam trap is
cold.

Removing and disposing of level electrode NRG 1..-50

1. Loosen screw q. Fig. 22

2. Detach upper part of the terminal box s from the level electrode.
3. Before removing the equipment make sure that is is neither hot nor under pressure.
For the disposal of the equipment observe the pertinent legal regulations concerning waste disposal.

Removing and disposing of level electrode NRG 1..-50F

1. Loosen screws b and remove housing cover d. Fig. 13, 14

2. Unplug connecting cables from terminal strip and pull cables out of the cable gland.
3. Before removing the equipment make sure that is is neither hot nor under pressure.
For the disposal of the equipment observe the pertinent legal regulations concerning waste disposal.

If faults occur that are not listed above or cannot be corrected, please contact our service centre or
