About This Manual:
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL PRIOR TO
INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT. This manual includes
information on the Continuous Relay Controllers from Flowline:
LC52-1001.
User’s Responsibility for Safety:
Flowline manufactures several models of controller, with different
mounting and switching configurations. It is the user’s responsibility to select a controller model that is appropriate for the application, install it properly, perform tests of the installed system, and
maintain all components.
Electrical Shock Hazard:
It is possible to contact components on the controller that carry high
voltage, causing serious injury or death. All power to the controller
and the relay circuit(s) it controls should be turned OFF prior to working on the controller. If it is necessary to make adjustments during
powered operation, use extreme caution and use only insulated tools.
Making adjustments to powered controllers is not recommended.
Flammable or Explosive Applications:
LC52 series remote mount controllers should not be used with explosive or flammable liquids, which require an intrinsically safe rating.
If you are unsure of the suitability of a controller for your installation,
consult your Flowline representative for further information.
Install In a Dry Location:
The controller housing is not designed to be immersed. It should
me mounted in such a way that it does not come into contact with
liquid. Its case is made out of PP (polypropylene). Refer to an
industry reference to ensure that compounds that may splash onto
the controller housing will not damage it. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
Relay Contact Rating:
The relay is rated for a 10 amp resistive load. Many loads (such as
a motor during start-up or incandescent lights) are reactive and
have an inrush current characteristic that may be 10 to 20 times
their steady-state load rating. The use of a contact protection circuit
may be necessary for your installation if the 10 amp rating does not
provide an ample margin for such inrush currents. In critical applications, redundant backup systems and alarms must be used in
addition to the primary system. Such backup systems should use
different sensor technologies where possible.
Make a Fail-Safe System:
Design a fail-safe system that accommodates the possibility of
relay or power failure. If power is cut off to the controller, it will
de-energize the relay. Make sure that the de-energized state of the
relay is the safe state in your process. For example, if controller
power is lost, a pump filling a tank will turn off if it is connected to
the Normally Open side of the relay.
While the internal relay is reliable, over the course of time relay
failure is possible in two modes: under a heavy load the contacts
may be “welded” or stuck into the energized position, or corrosion
may build up on a contact so that it will not complete the circuit
when it should. In critical applications, redundant backup systems
and alarms must be used in addition to the primary system. Such
backup systems should use different sensor technologies where possible.
While this manual offers some examples and suggestions to help
explain the operation of Flowline products, such examples are for
information only and are not intended as a complete guide to
installing any specific system.
1. Power indicator: This Green LED lights when AC power is
ON.
2. Relay indicator: This Red LED will light whenever the control-
ler energizes the relay, in response to the transmitter input and
after the time delay.
3. AC Power terminals: Connection of 120 VAC power to the
controller. The setting may be changed to 240 VAC if desired.
This requires changing internal jumpers; this is covered in the
Installation section of the manual. Polarity (neutral and hot) does
not matter.
4. Relay terminals (NC, C, NO): Connect the device you wish to
control (pump, alarm etc.) to these terminals: supply to the COM
terminal, and the device to the NO or NC terminal as required.
The switched device should be a non-inductive load of not more
than 10 amps; for reactive loads the current must be derated or
protection circuits used. When the red LED is ON and the relay is
in the energized state, the NO terminal will be closed and the NC
terminal will be open.
5. Invert switch: This switch reverses the logic of the relay control
in response to the switch(es): conditions that used to energize the
relay will now de-energize the relay and vice versa.
6. Time delay: Sets delay from 0 to 60 seconds. Hold Delay button
to increase delay in 5 second increments.
7. Digital display: Shows the current 4-20 mA signal in engineer-
ing units.
8. Input terminals: Connect the transmitter wires to these termi-
nals: A 24 VDC power is provided for current loop with an additional 28 VDC power terminal if required.
9. Latch switch (relay 2): This switch determines how the relay
will be energized in response to the two set points. When LATCH
is OFF, the relay responds to set point RLY2A only; when LATCH
is ON, the relay will energize or de-energize only when both set
points (RLY2A and RLY2B) are in the same condition (both wet
or both dry). The relay will remain latched until both set points
change conditions.
10. Bar Graph: Displays 4-20 mA signal as a percentage of the
range.
11. OP / SET: Used to scroll between set points during program-
ming.
12. 20 / Down: Used to decrease display value during programming
and for EasyCal™ Span set up.
13. 4 / Up: Used to increase display value during programming and
for EasyCal™ Offset set up.
14. Repeater Output: Isolated terminal which reproduces the input
4-20 mA signal. Terminal requires 12-36 VDC power for operation.

Panel DIN Rail Mounting
The controller may be mounted by either a back panel using two
screws through mounting holes located at the corners of the controller
or by snapping the controller on 35 mm DIN Rail.
Note: Always install the controller in a location where it does not
come into contact with liquid.
Setting Input Polarity:
The LC52 can be set in one of two modes, sourcing and sinking. The
LC52 is shipped from the factory in the sourcing mode. This is compatible with the LA12-_0_1, LA15-50_1, LP75-20_1, LU20-50_1, LU3050_4 and LU35-50_4 with no adjustment required. If using a LU3050_3, LU35-50_3 and LU20-50_1-IS, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove the back panel of the controller and gently slide the
printed circuit board (PCB) from the housing. Use caution when
removing the PCB.
2. Locate jumpers JWA and JWB on the PCB.
3. To change from sourcing to sinking, remove jumper from JWA
and place on JWB. The LC52 is shipped from the factory in the
sourcing mode (JWA active).
4. Gently return PCB into housing and replace back panel.
Note: Loop powered devices can operate in either the souring or sinking modes. Please see step 4 for proper wiring instructions.
Changing from 120 to 240 VAC:
Wiring to Input Terminals
Signal input is always through the 24 VDC terminal.
The 28 VDC terminal is used as an alternative
power supply for three-wire devices. Please note a
difference between 2-wire and 3-wire level transmitters and sourcing and sinking modes below.

Step Six Step Seven
VAC Power Input Wiring:
Observe the POWER SUPPLY label on the LC52.
The label identifies the power requirement (120 or
240 VAC) and the terminal wiring. Note: Polarity
does not matter with the AC input terminal.
Relay Input Wiring:
The single pole, double throw isolated relay is
rated 250 VAC, 10 A, 1/2 Hp. The two terminals
marked Normally Open (NO) and Normally
Closed (NC) will be used in different applications.
Note: The “Normal” state is when the relay’s coil
is de-energized and the Red relay LED is Off.
Low-Level Alarm:
The goal is to make sure that the liquid level does not fall below a
certain point. If it does, an alarm is supposed to sound, alerting the
operator of a low-level condition.
If power is accidentally cut to the
controller, the sensor’s ability to
warn the operator of a low-level
condition could be lost. The system must alert the operator not
only to low fluid level, but to controller power loss.
To do this, connect the hot lead of
the alarm to the NC side of the
relay terminal of the LC52. If
power is lost, the relay will be de-energized, and the alarm will sound
(if there is still power to the alarm circuit itself). The alarm circuit
should have a non-interruptible power supply or some other indicator
or backup alarm to warn of a power failure in the alarm circuit.
In this application, the normal status of the sensor at the bottom of the
tank will be wet, and the relay will be energized holding the alarm
circuit open. Both the red relay LED and amber input LED will be on
simultaneously, so for this application, INVERT should be set to the
OFF position.
High Level Alarm:
In the same manner, the controller can be used to sound an alarm
when fluid reaches a high level, with just a change in the location of
the sensor and the setting of the INVERT switch.
• Thealarm is stillconnectedtothe NC side oftherelayto allow
for a power failure alarm.
• The sensor is normally dry. In this dry condition, we want the relay
to be energized so the alarm does not sound: i.e., the red relay LED
should be on whenever the amber sensor LED is off. So we turn
INVERT ON. If the fluid level rises to the high sensor point, the
sensor goes on, the relay de-energizes, and the alarm sounds.
Automatic Fill:
This system consists of a tank with a valve controller by the LC52. At
a low set point, the valve opens, filling the tank, At the high set point,
the valve closes. Part of a proper fail-safe design for this particular
system is that if power is lost to
the controller for any reason, the
valve filling the tank must close.
Therefore, we connect the valve
to the NO side of the relay. When
the relay is energized, the valve
will open and fill the tank. The
relay indicator will correspond
directly to the Open/Close status
of the valve.
NOTE: If the device’s load exceeds the rating of the c o ntroll e r ’s
relay, a stepper relay of higher capacity must be used as part of the
system design.
Determining the settings of LATCH and INVERT
This is the way the system must operate:
• Whentheliquidlevelisbelowthelowsetpoint,thevalveshould
open, starting to fill the tank.
• When the liquid is above the low set point, the valve will remain
open.
• When the liquid reaches the high set point, the valve should
close.
Latch: In any two-sensor control system, LATCH must be ON.
Invert: Referring to the logic chart in Step One, we look for the set-
ting that will de-energize the relay (valve close) when both inputs are
ON (High level reached). In this system, Invert should be ON.
Automatic Empty:
In the same manner, the controller can be used to automatically empty
a tank with just a change to the setting of the INVERT switch.
• Thevalve is still connectedtotheNOsideof the relay toallow
for a power failure fail-safe condition.
• The normal state of the valve is closed. In this state, we want the
relay to be energized at the high set point (opening valve to drain
tank). The relay will de-energize at the low set point (closing
valve).
Note: A fail-safe design is important. If the tank is being passively
filled, and a valve must be used to actively empty it, a power failure
to either the controller or the pump circuits will cause overflow.

Factory Reset:
Returns the LC52 to its original factory set points,
including setting the OFFSET to 4 mA and the SPAN
to 20 mA. Hold both the 4/UP and 20/DWN buttons
when adding power to the LC52.
Factory Settings for the LC52 Controller
Lock Out Function:
Press both delay buttons and the DWN button to lock out all push
button functions on the LC52. Press both delay buttons and the UP
button to unlock all push button functions on the LC52.
Lock Out ON Lock Out OFF
Re-Span the LC52:
Do a factory reset of the LC52 (holding the [4] and [20] buttons while
adding power to the unit). Next set the level transmitter to send a 20
mA current. On the LU30-5003, set the EC20 to the level the LU30 is
currently reading. While a 20 mA current is being sent to the LC52,
adjust the R23 potentiometer until the display reads 20.0. Once completed, repackage and program the LC52 and return the EC20 value
on the LU30 back to its correct setting. Note: the R23 Potentiometer
can be reached by removing the front label of the LC52 and using a
long jewelers screwdriver to reach it. R23 is located underneath the
red LED on the LED bar graph approximately halfway down the
PCB. Use extreme caution when adjusting R23.

Step Ten Step Eleven
The following exercise demonstrates inventory control with automatic filling and a high level alarm. The usable range is 60 inches of
liquid. The pump starts filling at 10 inches of liquid and stops filling
at 50 inches of liquid. A high level alarm occurs at 55 inches of liquid.
Enter all values into the LC52 in inches. The OFFSET is the corresponding 4 mA setting in inches. The SPAN is the corresponding 20
mA setting in inches. RLY2A and RLY2B is dedicated to the filling
of the tank because RELAY2 is a latching relay. RLY1 is dedicated to
the high level alarm because it is a single set point relay. Use the following values for programming the LC52-1001.
OFFSET SPAN RLY1 RLY2A RLY2B
0.0 60.0 55.0 50.0 10.0
The next exercise demonstrates the same inventory control with automatic filling and a high level alarm. However, the units have been
changes from inches to gallons. Within the tank, 1” = 50 gallons of
liquid.The usable range is now 300 gallons of liquid. The pump starts
filling at 50 gallons of liquid and stops filling at 250 gallons of liquid. A
high level alarm occurs at 275 gallons of liquid.
The following exercise demonstrates inventory control with a high
and low level alarm. The usable range is between 16 and 56 inches of
liquid. The high level alarm occurs at 50 inches of liquid and the low
level alarm occurs at 20" of liquid.
Enter all values into the LC52 in inches. The OFFSET is the corresponding 4 mA setting in inches. The SPAN is the corresponding 20
mA setting in inches. RLY1 is dedicated to the high level alarm
because it is a single set point relay. RLY2A is dedicated to the low
level alarm because the latch is turned off on Relay 2. Use the following values for programming the LC52-1001.
OFFSET SPAN RLY1 RLY2A
16.0 56.0 50.0 20.0
The next exercise demonstrates the same inventory control with a
high and low level alarm. However, the units have been changes from
inches to gallons. Along the straight side of the tank, 1” = 50 gallons
of liquid. The usable range is now from 50 to 250 gallons of liquid.
The high level alarm occurs at 220 gallons of liquid. The low level
alarm occurs at 70 gallons of liquid.
Enter all values into the LC52 in gallons. The OFFSET is the corresponding 4 mA setting in gallons. The SPAN is the corresponding 20
mA setting in gallons. RLY2A and RLY2B is dedicated to the filling
of the tank because RELAY2 is a latching relay. RLY1 is dedicated to
the high level alarm because it is a single set point relay. Use the following values for programming the LC52-1001.
OFFSET SPAN RLY1 RLY2A RLY2B
0 300 275 250 50
Enter all values into the LC52 in gallons. The OFFSET is the corresponding 4 mA setting in gallons. The SPAN is the corresponding 20
mA setting in gallons. RLY1 is dedicated to the high level alarm
because it is a single set point relay. RLY2A is dedicated to the low
level alarm because the latch is turned off on Relay 2. Use the following values for programming the LC52-1001.
