NS20 - Level Relay - V223440

Level-Relays NS 20 for conductive liquids can be used as monitors for 1 Level and for controlling a level between 2 electrodes.

• 3 elektrodes for MIN/MAXcontrol
• 2 elektrodes (E2 open) as level monitor
• Sensitivity adjustable 5 kO…250 kO
• LED for state of relay
• Function of relay reversible (picks up or releases at top electrode)
• Switching-delay adjustable 0.1…10 s
• Housing 35 mm wide, mounting height 55 mm
• Universal supply-voltage AC/DC 24-240 V

Application level monitor

Protection from running dry or overflow, monitoring of pumps for leaks, detection of leaks.

Application Min/Max

Controlling a level between minimum (electrode E2) and maximum (E3). As long as E3 is dry, a magnetic valve is opened (or a pump is running) and liquid is influenting. As soon as maximum (E3) is reached, the NS 20 closes the valve. When the level falls below E2, the cycle starts new. In reverse also discharging of a container can be controlled.

Overview of functions example filling with 2 electrodes

The detection of the level is made with a DC-free measuring of resistance between all electrodes The common electrode in E 1. A magnetic valve that is switched with relay-contacts 15-18 opens and lets liquid in until the upper electrode E3 is in contact with the liquid. Then the relay releases (15-18 open) and the valve closes. The relay remains released as long as electrode E 2 is in contact with the liquid. When the level falls below E2, the relay picks up (LED Relay on, 15-18 close) and the procedure starts new with opening the valve. Thus the level of the liquid is kept between E 1 and E 2.

For monitoring one level only or in applications to protect from running dry or overflow or leak detection, only electrodes E1 and E3 are connected.
