Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
The control unit NRS 1-40.1 must only be used in conjunction with the associated sensors for monitoring
water level and temperature limits.
The equipment can be used as
■
Low -level limiter (min. water-level alarm) or as low-level limiting system in conjunction with level electrode NRG 1x-40,
■
as high level alarm in conjunction with level electrode NRG 1x-41.1 and
■
as safety temperature controller/limiter in conjunction with temperature transmitter type TRV 5-40.
A combination of these functions is possible.
Any type of use differing from the usage described above must be considered as improper. The resulting
risk will have to be borne by the user alone. The manufacturer hereby expressly rejects any claims for any
damage resulting from improper usage.
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed 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
The terminal strips of the control unit NRS 1-40.1
are
live during operation.
This presents the risk of severe cases of electric shock!
Always cut off power supply to the equipment before mounting, removing or connecting
the terminal strips!

System description
The control unit NRS 1-40.1 has four limiting functions for monitoring the MIN/MAX water levels (low/high
level alarms) and MAX temperature in steam and (pressurised) hot water plants in accordance with TRD
and EN 12952 and EN 12953.
The level electrodes type NRG 1x-40, NRG 1x-41.1 and the temperature transmitter type TRV 5-40 detect
the current water level and temperature and their readings are sent as a data telegram to the CAN bus.
The CANopen protocol is used for the data transfer via CAN bus.
Only one limiting system with one control unit NRS 1-40.1 may be used per CAN bus network.

Function
At regular intervals the control unit NRS 1-40.1 evaluates the data telegram coming from the level electrodes NRG 1x-40, NRG 1x-41.1 and the temperature transmitter TRV 5-40. This data telegram contains:
■
An alarm when the electrode NRG 1x-40 emerges and/or when the electrode insulation
is defective,
■
An alarm when the electrode NRG 1x-41.1 enters into the water and/or when the electrode insulation
is defective,
■
An alarm when the adjusted cut-off temperature is exceeded (temperature transmitter TRV 5-40),
■
The result of the self-checking routine (detection of measured value),
■
The temperature in the electrode terminal box and the casing of the temperature transmitter.
When a level or temperature alarm is raised the safety circuit is interrupted after the de-energizing delay.
The control unit does not lock automatically. This function must be implemented in the following circuit.
The safety circuit will be interrupted instantaneously with the following malfunction alarms:
■
Malfunction in the level electrodes (self-checking negative, temperature in terminal box too high),
■
Malfunction in the temperature transmitter (self-checking negative, temperature in casing too high),
■
Malfunction in the control unit (self-checking negative),
■
Communication malfunction.
The self-testing routine checks the safety functions of the controller, the level electrodes and the temperature transmitter. This self-test is carried out every 3 seconds in the controller and every 10 seconds in all
other pieces of equipment.
An additional self-testing routine checks every 6 hours the de-energizing of the output relays in the controller.
Malfunction messages are updated during each self-checking routine. If there is no malfunction the messages will be deleted automatically and the safety circuit is closed again. However, if the malfunction still
persists, the malfunction message will remain.
Alarm and malfunction messages are indicated by LEDs, and the signal output is instantaneously energized.

Attention
When using the control unit NRS 1-40.1 for more than two limiting functions the CAN bus
must be supplied with 24V DC by a safety power supply unit (e. g. Siemens SITOP Power 05).
The power supply unit must be in accordance with DIN VDE 0106 (safety separation) and
fused with an overcurrent protective device to EN 61010-1 / VDE 0411.
The CAN bus supply must not be connected to terminals 1 and 5.

Wire equipment in series. Star-type wiring is not permitted!
Link screens of bus cables such that electrical continuity is ensured and connect them
once to the central earthing point (CEP).
Because of the self-checking routine of the output contacts the control unit NRS 1-40.1
must always be the first equipment in the safety circuit, which means that terminal 25
must be permanently connected to L of the safety circuit.
Terminal N1 (18) must be permanently connected to the zero potential (N) of the safety
circuit. Non-compliance will cause malfunctions, in particular if the control unit and the
safety circuit are supplied with different voltage potentials (e. g. control unit 230 V / safety
circuit 24 V). Provided that the electric potentials are equal, a wire link can be attached
to terminals 17 and 18.
■
To protect the switching contacts provide the circuit with a T 2.5A or 1.0A fuse (TRD 604,
72 hrs. operation).
■
If two or more system components are connected in a CAN bus system, provide the first
and the last device with a terminating resistor of 120Ω (terminal CL/CH).
■
Only one control unit NRS 1-40.1 may be used per CAN bus network.
■
The CAN bus system must not be interrupted during operation.
In the event of an interruption a malfunction alarm is raised.

Note
■

■
The rated voltage is indicated on the name plate.
■
When switching off inductive loads, voltage spikes are produced that may impair the operation of control and measuring systems. Connected contactors must therefore be provided with suppressors such as RC combinations.
■
In the event of an alarm the signal output (terminal 7 and 8) is instantaneously closed.
■
In the event of a malfunction the signal output (terminals 7 and 8) is opened and closed
in a clock-pulse controlled way in order to ensure an optical differentiation between an
alarm and a malfunction signal. If required you can wire terminals 7 and 8 with an external signal lamp.

System Malfunctions
Causes
Malfunctions occur if CAN bus components have been mounted or configured incorrectly or if electronic
component parts are defective, or in the event of excessive heat in the equipment or electrical interference
in the supply system.
Further malfunctions are:
■
Faulty communication within the CAN-Bus system
■
Overloading of the 24V power supply unit in the controller
Note
Before carrying out the systematic fault finding procedure please check:
Wiring:
Is the wiring in accordance with the wiring diagram?
Is the polarity of the bus line always correct?
Is the bus line of each of the end nodes provided with a 120Ω resistor?
Configuration of level electrode NRG 1x - 40 (low water level LW):
Are the wire links (device 1 or 2) set correctly?
Does the position of the wire link tally with the node ID?
Configuration of the temperature transmitter TRV 5-40
Is the transmitter correctly adjusted as device 1, 2, 3 or 4?
Node ID:
Are the node IDs set correctly?
Note that a node ID must only be used for one item of equipment!
Baud rate:
Is the length of the cable in accordance with the adjusted baud rate?
Is the baud rate the same for all devices?
Danger
The terminal strips of the control unit NRS 1-40.1 are live during operation.
This presents the risk of severe cases of electric shock!

Systematic fault finding procedure for system malfunctions
The sources of malfunctions occuring in CAN bus systems operating with several bus-based stations must
be analysed systematically since faulty components or incorrect settings can give rise to negative interactions with intact bus devices in the CAN bus system. These unwanted interactions can cause error messages in fully functional bus devices, which will make fault detection even more difficult.
We recommend the following systematic fault finding procedure:
Step 1 (Start)
Detach
terminal strips
in all Bus sensors.
Level electrode
Conductivity electrode
Pressure sensor
Temperature sensor
etc.
Check
Use fault-finding
list to identify
the fault(s)!
Final test
Have all faults
been eliminated?
System Fault
Use fault-finding
list to identify
the malfunction.
Cut off power supply

Action against high frequency interference
All connected inductive loads such as contactors and actuators must be provided with RC combinations in
accordance with the specifications of the manufacturer.
Should sporadic failures occur in installations susceptible to faults (e. g. malfunctions due to out-of-phase
switching operations) we recommend the following actions in order to suppress interferences:
HF interference suppression of voltage supply by means of ferrite rings and
HF interference suppression of CAN bus line by means of hinged-shell ferrite rings.
Bus supply voltage below 18 V DC. The power supply unit of the controller is overloaded.
Mount and connect a safety power supply unit (e. g. Siemens SITOP Power 05).
Bus supply voltage below 18 V DC. Faulty wiring (short circuit).
Check wiring. Switch off mains voltage and switch it on again after about 1 second (the
equipment restarts).

Check switchpoints
In order to check the switchpoints "Level below low water level (LW)" or "Level above high water level
(HW)" the water level must be lowered or - as the case may be - the boiler must be filled.
The switchpoint "MAX temperature" can also only be checked by increasing the temperature accordingly.
All devices must respond as if there were an alarm.
Check switchpoints after commissiong or replacing the level electrode, temperature sensor or temperature
transmitter.

CAN bus
All devices (level, conductivity, temperature) are interconnected via CAN bus. The CANopen protocol is
used for the data exchange between the equipment groups. All devices have an electronic address - the
node ID. The four-core bus cable serves as power supply and data highway for high-speed data exchange.
The CAN address (nodeID) can be set between 1 and 123.
The control unit NRS 1-40.1 has already been configured at our works for operation with other GESTRA
components and can be used straight away without having to set the node ID.
Individual node IDs must be set manually in the respective equipment.
Please observe the pertinent installation instructions.
