GENERAL DESCRIPTION MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS
HI 7871 and HI 7873 are 2-wire transmitter level controllers designed especially for long distance control of liquid levels in tanks (e.g. in biological and industrial water treatment).
A complete system should include:
HI 7871 or HI 7873 level controller
HI 7874 level transmitter & bar holder
HI 7164 undecal connector
• 3 or 4 measuring bars
The level transmitter is basically a molded electrode holder with 4 sockets to screw in the level sensors. The longest bar has to be the common electrode and connected to the COM port. The remaining bars can be connected in any sequence, after cutting them to the required lengths.
HI 7874 contains a completely resinated amplifier circuit and a 2-wire terminal board. It also comes with a mounting bracket for quick and easy installation.
HI 7874 uses stainless steel measuring bars and employs 9V peak to peak AC to measure the liquid level. It can be used in liquids with conductivity greater than 10 µS/cm.
HI 7871 requires only 3 bars, whereas HI 7873 needs 4. HI 7871 is a basic high and low level controller. HI 7873 has
an additional overflow alarm control.

The supplied adjustable brackets allow the controller to slide into the cut-out and hold the unit in place. 95 mm (3.74") is the minimum space required to install the controller with the cables connected.
CONNECTIONS
• Remove the 11-pin connector from the rear of the level controller.
• Connect a 2-wire power cable to terminals #2 and #7 (no ground connection).
• Connect the output terminals #4 (common) and #5 (low) to a relay switch (max 2A/230V) to start and stop a pump or to open and close an electrovalve. These two contacts act only as a switch and the pump or electrovalve have to be powered independently.
OPERATIONAL GUIDE
• Turn on the power supply. After approx. 8 seconds, the controller can activate a pump or electrovalve.
• When liquid level is below the COM (reference) or the 1 bar, LOW LED turns on and output contacts (#4 & #5) close, activating a pump/electrovalve.
• Subsequently, when liquid level drops below the 3rd bar, OVER LED goes off and HIGH LED comes on. When liquid

level drops below the 2nd bar, HIGH LED goes off. LOW LED lights up when the level drops below the 1st bar.
st
HI 7873 can also detect faulty conditions, such as a short or open circuit, in the 2-wire connection between #8 and #9 terminals with HI 7874 bar holder.
The common terminal (#4) and #3 can also be con­nected to a device to indicate a “full tank” state.
• With HI 7873, connect termi- nals #10 and #11 to an alarm for monitoring Over Flow condition.
• Remove the cover of HI 7874 (bar holder) and connect a 2-wire cable from #8 to positive (+) and #9 to negative (–) terminals of the holder.
• Screw the longest bar to the hole marked as COMM. This bar will be used as the reference electrode. Screw the other measuring bars into the remaining sockets in any order. The bars should be cut to the required lengths for low, high and over. The reference (COM) and the low bar (1st) can be the same length.
• With HI 7871, connect only 3 bars to the holder: reference, low and high. With HI 7873, connect 4 bars to the holder: reference, low, high and over.
• Insert the 11-pin connector to the back of the level controller.
• When liquid level reaches the low (1st) bar, LOW LED goes off but the contacts (#4 & #5) remain closed.
• When liquid level reaches the high (2nd) bar, HIGH LED turns on and the output contact (#5) opens (pump/ electrovalve disactivated) while #3 & #4 close.
• With HI 7873, if after reaching HIGH level, liquid level continues to rise and reaches the 3rd bar, the alarm contacts close and the OVER LED comes on.
If the 2-wire is shorted, the OVER LED goes on and the alarm contacts close.
If the 2-wire is damaged and the circuit is open, LOW LED goes on and the alarm contacts close.
• With HI 7871, LOW LED goes on with an open circuit. If the LOW LED remains lit but the pump/electrovalve is not acti­vated, it indicates an open circuit.
A short circuit will instead give a HIGH LED indication.
Note: It takes about 8 seconds for the controller to activate
the relay from when an alarm condition occurs.
ACCESSORIES
HI 7164 Undecal connector HI 7875/P Stainless steel threaded measuring bars (5 pcs)
Note: The sensing bars are made in such a way that they
can be screwed one into each other to provide any required length. It is recommended to keep the bars separate with a non-conductive material, such as plastic to ensure they do not touch each other, spe­cially in deep tanks.
Recommendations for Users
Before using these products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for the environment in which they are used.
Operation of these instruments in residential areas could cause unacceptable interferences to radio and TV equipment.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instrument's EMC performance.
For HI 7874 only: The measuring bars at the end of the sensor are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Avoid touching these bars at all times. Connection to level controller should be done with the recommended ferrite close to level controller.
