Description
GESTRA NRG 16-60 NRG 17-60 NRG 19-60 NRG 111-60 Level Electrodes
In combination with the URS 60 / URS 61 safety control unit, NRG 1x-60 level electrodes are suitable for safety functions up to SIL 3.
They are elements of a safety circuit up to a rating of SIL 3 as per EN 61508 in the SPECTORconnect system, and can transmit alarm notifications.
The level electrode uses the principle of conductive measure- ment and monitors itself. This means that a leaking or con- taminated electrode insulator and/or a fault in the electrical connection trigger an alarm.
Alarms and error messages are displayed by LEDs or an operating unit. They are also saved in the level electrode and transferred to the URS 60 / URS 61 safety control unit using the CANopen protocol.
The NRG 1x-60 can indicate the minimum fill level in electrically conductive fluid:
- A fill level with a switchpoint.
- An NRG 1x-60 level electrode can be installed in a protective tube or level pot together with an NRG 1x-61 level electrode or continuous GESTRA NRG 26-60 level
- NRG 1x-60 level electrodes are used in conjunction with the URS 60 / URS 61 safety control unit as water level limiters for pressurised steam and hot-water
Water level limiters switch off the heating when the water drops below the set minimum level (LW).
Visualisation and operation take place via the URB 60 or SPECTORcontrol operating unit.
Function
Conductive level measurement based on the conductivity measurement principle. Some liquid substances are conduc- tive, i.e. electric current can flow through them. To ensure this method functions reliably, the substance being measured must have a certain minimum conductivity.
The conductive measuring process delivers two findings:
- Electrode rod immersed or electrode rod not immersed, or in other words switchpoint reached or not reached.
Before installation, the length of the electrode rod must be adapted to match the point at which switching must take place, e.g. for switching off the burner and interrupting the safety circuit.
Behaviour in the event of an alarm
- When the water drops below the minimum level, the level electrode is no longer immersed and the URS 60 / URS 61 safety control unit triggers an
- If an additional electrode is installed, the insulated section between the measuring electrode and earth is automatically monitored. If the value is below the admissible resistance value, the safety circuit is inter- rupted and burner switch-off is initiated.
Automatic self-test
An automatic self-test periodically monitors the safety and function of the level electrode and measured value acquisition
