1.8Operation
1.8.1Availability of Emulsion
Grease interceptors are plants which can separate fat from water. It may occur
that fat is not separated due to the emulsion that has formed. An emulsion is a
more or less stable mixture of fat and water. If the water content in the fat is too
high, the sensor does not detect any fat.
1.9Repair
The devices must not be repaired, changed or manipulated. If there is a defect,
the product must always be replaced with an original device.
1.10Disposal
Disposal of devices and their packaging material must be performed in
compliance with the applicable laws and guidelines of the corresponding country.
The devices do not contain batteries which need to be disposed of separately
from the products.

2.1Function
The warning device monitors the status of
n a fat level sensor or
n an overflow sensor or
n the combination of an overflow sensor and a fat level sensor
in a grease interceptor.
LEDs at the device indicate alarm, sensor fault and system and sensor status. In
the event of an alarm, an additional acoustic signal sounds.
The fat in the grease interceptor can be of various compositions. The following
conditions are possible:
n The fat is liquid. Such fat is found in, e. g., the manufacture and storage of
vegetable fats. This fat forms a liquid fat layer which clearly separates from
water. For this composition of fat, please use fat level sensor KVF-F for
detecting the fat layer thickness.
n The fat is hard. Such fat is found in, e. g., waste water from sinks or
dishwashers and in floor drains in large kitchens or catering
establishments. This fat consists of a mixture of animal and vegetable fats.
It typically forms an aqueous emulsion with small lumps of fat or a
hardened layer of fat. For this composition of fat, please use fat level
sensor FAU-104 for detecting the fat layer thickness.

3Installation
3.1Mounting of the Sensors
Read the chapter on Safety and, in particular, the section on Installation and
Commissioning (see chapter 1.7) before mounting the sensor. Do not remove the
identification plate.
Warni ng!
Risk of short circuit
Injuries and damage to the device are possible when working with live parts.
n Before working on the device, always disconnect the supply voltage.
n Connect the device to the supply voltage only after completion of the work.
During installation, read the instructions provided by the grease interceptor
manufacturer. Ensure that the suspension mechanism keeps the sensor
permanently at the correct height. Where possible, secure the device in a position
where it can be reached from the manhole opening so that it can be removed
when emptying (disposal) or carrying out maintenance work on the grease
interceptor.
The oil/petrol separator can be made of various materials. We therefore
recommend using the following methods to secure the device in a suspended
position:
n If mounting the device in concrete containers, use the NVO5-B mounting
set. See the figure below.
n If mounting the device in containers made from other materials, such as
plastic or metal, use other suspension devices as appropriate, for example,
screws and screw anchors.

3.1.1Mounting the KVF-O Overflow Sensor
Usually, the switching point of the sensor must be located a few centimeters
above the normal liquid level (water zero line) in a position so close to the water
zero line that the switching point is surrounded by liquid when an overflow occurs.
This occurs
n when there is back pressure in the sewage system or
n if the drain is blocked.
The switching point of the sensor is located between the insulated connecting
piece and the top metal section (see chapter 2.3).

If a non-electrically conductive fat layer settles on the surface, there is a risk that a
possible overflow will not be detected by the sensor. Therefore we recommend
mounting a pitot tube for overflow sensor KVF-O. This ensures that the sensor
only comes into contact with water and the overflow is detected. The following
diagram shows the composition.

3.1.2Mounting the KVF-F Fat Level Sensor
The sensor must be immersed a few centimeters when the liquid is at its normal
level (water zero line).
The exact immersion depth depends on
n the type of grease interceptor,
n its design,
n its capacity
n and the height of the maximum fat layer thickness.
The sensor must always be immersed in the liquid. The switching point of the
sensor is located between the insulated connecting piece and the top metal
section (see chapter 2.3).
Caution!
Damage to the cable as a result of aggressive greases
The sensor cable must not be in continuous contact with grease or with water that
contains grease. The sensor is therefore fitted with shrink tubing. The shrink
tubing protects the cable from the effect of the grease to a fat layer thickness of
30 cm.
If fat layer thicknesses of more than 30 cm occur in your application, protect the
cable with additional shrink tubing.

n Terminal 6: zero (N/L1)
n Terminal 5: ground (loop terminal)
Note!
Additional relays can be connected via terminals 1 to 3 and 10 to 12. They can be
used, for example, for an external alarm or the connection to a central monitoring
system.
For extending the sensor cable, use cable connector LAL-SK2.

Avoid routing the sensor cable parallel to other cables, as these cables may
transmit interfering signals. These interfering signals may affect the sensor signal
and impair the alarm function. Use unshielded 2-strand cables for each sensor.
To ensure the warning device functions correctly, do not exceed the following
maximum sensor cable lengths:

4.1Configuring the Warning Device using DIP Switches
Often, suspended particles (e. g. leftovers) can be found in the grease interceptor
and lumps of fat often form. These suspended particles and lumps of fat can
cause a false alarm for the fat level sensor. Therefore, it is possible to set two
possible monitoring states for the fat level sensor on the warning device via the
setting of DIP switch 1 (reaction time of the fat level sensor).

Troubleshooting
6.2Sensor Maintenance
Caution!
Malfunction or false alarm caused by a contaminated sensor
If the sensor is very dirty, this may trigger a false alarm or mean that no alarm is
triggered under certain circumstances.
n Clean and dry the sensor when emptying/disposing of the oil/petrol
separator or container.
n Do not clean the sensor with corrosive liquids.
Cleaning the Sensor
The sensor is maintenance free. To ensure the entire alarm system functions
correctly, clean the sensor at the following intervals:
1. Clean the sensor at least once a year.
2. Pay particular attention to cleaning the sensor tips of all oil, grease, and other
dirt residues using a grease-dissolving cleaning agent.
3. If the sensor is used in difficult conditions, clean the sensor more often.
