Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use level switch NRS 1-41 only in conjunction with GESTRA level electrode
NRG 16-41, NRG 17-41 or NRG 19-41 for signalling high water level
(max. alarm).
Safety Note
Installation must only be performed by qualified staff.
Qualified staff are those persons who – through adequate training in electrical
engineering, the use and application of safety equipment in accordance with
regulations concerning electrical safety systems, and first aid & accident
prevention – have achieved a recognised level of competence appropriate to the
installation and commissioning of this safety device.
Danger
The terminal strip of the NRS 1-41 is live during operation.
This presents the danger of electric shock.
Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the terminal strips and
housing lid.

Description
The switching controller type NRS 1-41 is a self-monitoring high-water level limiter
with periodic self-checking and monitoring feature of the output relay contacts
designed to be used in conjunction with one level electrode type NRG 16-41, 17-41
or 19-41. The switching controller has the following function:
■ High-water level alarm with one level electrode
The equipment detects the max. water level (high-level limiter) and complies with the
German regulations for use in steam and hot-water plants operating without constant
supervision according to TRD 604, sheets 1 and 2 (72 hrs operation).
This item of electrical equipment complies with the Technical Regulations on
Protection Circuits DIN VDE 0116 (prEN 50156).
The level data are transferred from the electrode NRG 1…-41 to the switching
controller via CAN bus using the CANopen protocol. Only one high-level limiting
system may be used per CAN-based network.
Function
At regular intervals the level electrode NRG 1…-41 sends a data telegram to the
switching controller NRS 1-41. The data transfer is effected by means of a CAN bus
according to ISO 11898. The transferred measuring data are constantly evaluated by
the controller. A periodic self-checking routine tests every 3 seconds the integrity of
the system and its safety functions, with a malfunction in the switching controller
resulting in immediate boiler shutdown. When the CAN bus line and, consequently,
the data transmitting cycle are interrupted, the controller sends a visual signal to
indicate a faulty condition and the relays are instantaneously de-energized (fail-safe
position).
The switching controller also facilitates user-friendly performance tests and
detection/evaluation of malfunctions.
To guarantee the correct and safe functioning of the high-level limiter a min. electrical
conductivity of 0.5 µS/cm at 25°C is required.
The relay de-energizing delay is normally set to 3 seconds at the factory but delays
of 15 to 25 seconds are available on request.
Apart from the burner protection circuit there is also a separate Photo-MOS make
contact output for remote indication.
The automatic self-testing routine of the switching controllers checks every 3
seconds their safety functions. The corresponding functions of the level electrodes
will be tested by the electrode’s self-checking routine every 10 sec.
The malfunction information is updated with every self-test. If no faults have occurred
the malfunction information will be deleted automatically. If faults persist the
malfunction information remains stored.
As part of the automatic self-testing routine of the switchting controller, the
switching-off of the output relays every 6 hrs is checked, too. If a fault is detected,
the information on this malfunction will be saved accordingly.

The baud rate is set via a code switch. Reduce baud rate if cable is longer than
specified in the table above. Make sure that all bus nodes feature the same settings.
To protect the switching contacts fuse circuit with 2.5 A (anti-surge fuse) or according
to TRD regulations (1.0 A for 72 hrs operation).
When a max. cable length of more than 125 m (up to 1000 m) is desired, make
sure to modify the baud rate accordingly. Refer to pages 23 and 24 for more

Attention
■
Wire equipment in series. Star-type wiring is not permitted.
■
Interlink screens of control cables such that electrical continuity is
ensured and connect them once to the central earthing point (CEP).
■
To protect the switching contacts fuse circuit with 2.5 A (slow blow
fuse) or according to TRD regulations (1.0 A for 72 hrs operation).
■
If more than one system component is connected to a CAN bus
network provide the first and last equipment with a terminating resistor
of 120 Ω, Fig. 2.
■
Use only one water-level limiting system per CAN bus network.
■
The CAN bus line must not be interrupted while operating with one or
more system components.
Any interruption will open the control circuit!
If the switching controller has to be replaced be sure to remove first the
terminal strips , Fig. 4
Note: Make sure that all system components connected are
operating
before removing the CAN bus line from the terminal strip!

Note
■
Connect screen only to terminal 3, ensuring electrical continuity and
connect equipment once to the central earthing point (CEP).
■
The loop resistance must be under 10 Ω.
■
The rated voltage is stated on the name plate.
■
When switching off inductive loads voltage spikes are produced that
may impair the operation of control and measuring systems. Inductive
loads should therefore be provided with commercial arc suppressor RC
combinations, e. g. 0.1 µF/100 Ω.
■
Despite correct wiring H. F. interference caused by the installation may
lead to system breakdowns and malfunction messages. If necessary
refer to the “Fault finding list for troubleshooting” on page 21.
■
In the event of a shut-down due to a malfunction the signal output
(terminals 7 and 8) is cyclically openend and closed in order to ensure
an optical distinction between “High level” (signal output closed) and
“Malfunction shut-down”. If necessary conncect terminals 7 and 8
externally to an indicator lamp, Fig. 1.

Basic Adjustments
CAN Bus
All level and conductivity controllers and associated electrodes are interconnected
by means of a CAN bus using the CANopen protocol. Every item of equipment
features an electronic address (node ID). The four-core bus cable serves as power
supply and data highway for high-speed data exchange.
The CAN address (node ID) can be set between 1 and 123.
The NRS 1-41 is configured at our works and ready for service with other GESTRA
system components without having to set the node ID.
If several systems of the same kind are to communicate in one CAN bus
network, be sure to assign one node ID for each individual system component
(e. g. controller). Refer to pages 22 and 23 for more details.
Node ID
Factory setting
The switching controller features the following factory set default values:
■ Baud rate: 250 kb/s
■ Sensitivity: 0,5 µS/cm
■ Node ID: 006
■ Relay de-energizing delay: 3 s

System Malfunctions
Faulty installation and/or configuration of CAN bus components, excessive
temperatures in the devices, defective electronic component parts or electromagnetic
interferences of the supply system can result in system malfunctions.
There are four system malfunctions that might occur in the level electrode and the
switching controller:
■ Max. admissible temperature in electrode terminal box exceeded
■ No or faulty communication between controller and electrode
■ Fault in CAN bus
■ Failure of 24 V power supply unit built in switching controller NRS 1-41
The malfunction information is updated with every self-test (switching controller:
every 3 sec., level electrode: every 10 sec.) If no faults have occurred the malfunction
information will be deleted automatically. If faults persist the malfunction information
remains stored.
As part of the automatic self-testing routine of the switching controller, the switching
off of the output relays every 6 hrs is checked, too. If a fault is detected the signal
output (terminals 7 and 8) will be opened and closed as a function of time.
Danger
The terminal strip of the NRS 1-41 is live during operation.
This presents the danger of electric shock.
Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the equipment.

Systematic Malfunction Analysis
The sources of malfunctions occurring 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 sensing units of
bus devices.
Level electrode
Conductivity electrode
Pressure sensor
Temperature sensor
Check
Use fault-finding
list to correct
fault(s).
Final test:

been eliminated?
