Use level switch NRS 2-40 in conjunction with level electrode NRG 26-40 only for
liquid level monitoring and control.
Safety notes
The equipment must only be installed 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 device.
Danger
The terminal strip of the NRS 2-40 is live during operation.
This presents the danger of electric shock.
Cut off power supply before fixing or removing the cover.

Description
Use level switch type NRS 2-40 in combination with level electrode type
NRG 26-40 for level monitoring. The level switch has the following functions:
■
Four liquid levels with one switchpoint each.
■
High-level alarm, low-level alarm, pump ON, pump OFF, with one switchpoint each.
■
Continuous level monitoring within control band defined by two preset limits.
■
Actual-value output 4-20 mA (optional)
■
Contact multiplication by connecting in parallel a second level switch NRS 2-40
without optional actual value output.
The level data are transmitted via CAN-bus from the electrode NRG 26-40 to the level
switch.
Function
At regular intervals the level electrode type NRG 26-40 sends a data telegram to the
level switch NRS 2-40. The data transfer is effected by means of a CAN bus according
to DIN ISO 11898. The transferred measuring data are then evaluated and assigned
to the manually adjusted switchpoints. To guarantee the correct functioning and safety
of the system the data transmitting cycle is constantly monitored by the level switch.
When the CAN bus line is interrupted the level switch sends a visual signal to indicate
a malfunction and the relays 1 and 4 will be instantaneously de-energized (alarm
position).
Additional functions, e.g. (de)-energizing delay times of the output relays
(1 to 25 sec.) can be adjusted with the control terminal and display unit URB 1.

The baud rate is set via a code switch. Reduce baud rate if cable is longer than specified
in the table. Make sure that all bus nodes have 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 1000 m is desired, make sure to modify the baud
rate accordingly. Refer to page 27 and 28 for more details.

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 2-40 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.
Refer to pages 27 and 28 for more details.
Node ID
First and second control equipment
It is possible to operate the level switch NRS 2-40 together with a second level
switch NRS 2-40 when 8 instead of only 4 switchpoints are required.
The second level switch is termed “second control equipment” and must be
ordered separately.
The NRS 2-40 can also be operated together with the level controller NRR 2-40
as “second control equipment”.
The standard equipment NRS 2-40 is termed “first control equipment 1”.
Be sure to assign different node IDs for NRS 2-40 (first control equipment),
additional NRS 2-40 (second control equipment) and NRR 2-40 (controller)!
The name plate of the NRS 2-40 is marked “Control equipment 1” or
“Control equipment 2”.

System Malfunctions
There are four types of system malfunctions that might occur in the level electrode and
the level switch:
■ Max. admissible temperature in electrode terminal box exceeded
■ No or faulty communication between switching controller and electrode
■ Fault in CAN bus
■ Failure of 24 V power supply unit built in level controller NRS 2-40

Danger

This presents the danger of electric shock.
Cut off power supply before mounting or removing the equipment.
System Malfunctions – continued –
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 nodes.
Level electrode
Conductivity electrode
Pressure sensor
Temperature sensor

Remedy
In spite of correct wiring and commissioning of the equipment an
interference signal is indicated.
The interference signal is caused by H. F. interferences coming from the
installation. For interference suppression of the voltage supply we supply
ferrite rings, stock code 147253. The 230 V supply lines should be looped
through the ferrite ring five to ten times. If several controllers are used in
the system, they can be fed from the interference suppressed
supply lines. For the intererence suppression of the bus line we supply
hinged-shell ferrite rings, stock code 147254. The hinged-shell ferrite
rings are clamped onto the bus line close to the terminal strip of the
controller.
Restart system after installation.
LED “Power” does not light up.
Apply power. Connect the equipment properly, referring to wiring
diagrams.
Incorrect function at analogue output. The following actual value indicator
shows incorrect values.
Correct the switchpoint settings and the control range settings of the
electrode.
