Connection dry-running protection/min. Water level with separate float switch

DANGER

danger

Risk of explosion due to incorrect connection!

If the connected signal transmitter is installed in an explosive atmosphere (Ex zone), there is a risk of explosion due to incorrect connection:

  1. Do not connect electrode in an explosive atmosphere (Ex zone)!
  2. Connect the float switch using an Ex cut-off relay!
  3. Connect level sensor via a Zener barrier!
  4. Observe the section on explosive atmospheres in the appendix.
  5. Connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION

Do not apply external voltage!

An external voltage which is applied destroys the component.

Dry-running protection (“drain” operating mode)

The dry-running level can also be monitored by the following signal transmitters:

  • Float switch
  • Electrode
    • Only Control EC-L1 ... and EC-L2 ...
    • Hardware version 2 or higher
    • Connection is protected against reverse polarity!

The input acts as a normally open contact (NO):

  • Float switch open/electrode not immersed: Dry run
  • Float switch closed/electrode immersed: No dry run

The terminals are fitted with a converter bridge at the factory.
NOTICE! A separate dry-running protection system is recommended as an additional system safety measure.

Insert the connection cables laid by the customer through the threaded cable glands and secure. Remove the converter bridge and connect the wires to the terminal strip according to the connection diagram. Use the terminal number shown in the connection overview on the cover.

Min. water level (operating mode “fill”)

The min. water level can also be monitored by the following signal transmitters:

  • Float switch
  • Electrode
    • Only Control EC-L1 ... and EC-L2 ...
    • Hardware version 2 or higher
    • Connection is protected against reverse polarity!

The input acts as a normally open contact (NO):

  • Float switch open/electrode not immersed: Min. water level
  • Float switch closed/electrode immersed: water level sufficient

The terminals are fitted with a converter bridge at the factory.

Insert the connection cable laid by the customer through the threaded cable glands and secure. Remove the converter bridge and connect the wires to the terminal strip according to the connection diagram. Use the terminal number shown in the connection overview on the cover.
