Application
Usage for the intended purpose
The level switch NRS -50 is used in conjunction with level electrode NRG ...-.. to limit the water level
in steam boilers and (pressurised) hot-water plants.
Water level limiters switch off the heating when the water level falls below the set minimum level (low
water).
Depending on the specified directives or standards, the level switch NRS -50 is intended to be used in
combination with the following level electrodes:

Function
The level switch NRS -50 is designed for different electrical conductivities of the boiler water and for
connecting one level electrode.
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. This switchpoint is determined by the length of the electrode rod (level
electrode NRG ...-50, NRG ...-, NRG 6-36).
After the de-energizing delay has elapsed, the two output contacts of the level switch will open the
safety circuit for the heating. The switching-off of the heating is interlocked in the external safety
circuit and can only be deactivated when the level electrode enters the water again.
In addition two signalling contacts for external signalling devices close instantaneously.
An alarm will also be raised if a malfunction occurs in the level electrode and/or the electrical connec-
tion.
If the level electrode is installed in an isolatable level pot outside the boiler, make sure that the con-
necting lines are rinsed regularly. During the rinsing process the water level cannot be measured in
the level pot for 5 minutes. The level switch therefore bypasses the level electrode and monitors the
rinsing and bypass time (standby input, controlled by the logic unit SRL 6-50).
If the connecting lines for steam ≥ 40 mm and water ≥ 00 mm, the installation is considered to be
internal. In this case the rinsing processes do not have to be monitored.
An automatic self-testing routine monitors the safety functions in the level switch and the level elec-
trode. In the event of a malfunction the safety circuit opens instantaneously and switches the heating
off.
Alarm and error messages are indicated by LEDs and an alarm can be simulated by pressing the test
button.
