Relay for controlling level of conductive liquids EN / END
Operating principle
Control of maximum and/or minimum levels of conductive liquids (tap
water, sea water, waste water, chemical solutions, coffee etc).
The principle is based on measurement of the apparent resistance of the
liquid between two submerged probes.When this value is lower than the
preset threshold on the unit front face, the output relay changes state.To
avoid electrolytic phenomena, an AC current runs across the probes.
Applications found in environmental, chemical industries and food
technology etc.
Regulation of two levels : Minimum / Maximum
The output relay changes state when the level of liquid reaches the
maximum electrode, with the minimum electrode submerged.It returns to
its initial state when the minimum probe is no longer in contact with the
liquid.
Note : If the power break ∆T lasts for 0.5 seconds or more, the relay re-
energises instantly if in "UP" mode and is de-energised if in "DOWN"
mode.

Note
The probe cable (maximum 100 metres) does not have to be screened,
but avoid mounting it in parallel with the power supply cables.A screened
cable can be used, with the screening connected to the common.
