The device display readings and the PC software can 
be set to 

German

 or 

English

. Combinations are pos-

sible, too, i. e. German display and English PC soft-
ware or German PC software and English display. 

 

Level control 

 

The level of the liquid nitrogen inside the storage ves-
sel is kept between minimum and maximum. 

 

If the level falls below minimum, a solenoid valve is 
triggered and liquid nitrogen continues flowing into the 
storage vessel. 

 

A delayed reaction between 0 and 999 minutes can 
be selected for the magnetic valve 

(1)

. This delay 

cannot be set for “Filling after Min. Alarm” and “Manu-
al Filling”. 

 

The filling procedure is stopped as soon as the level 
reaches the maximum level. 

 

If the level falls below the minimum alarm level or 
exceeds the maximum alarm level, a visual and 
acoustic alarm is triggered. In addition, an alarm out-
put is connected.. 

 

The level and the operating states are displayed both 
at the device and at the PC. 

 

Delay times for triggering an alarm can be set both at 
the device and via PC. 

 

All alarms can only be activated or deactivated via a 
service menu in the PC software 

(1)

. This menu can 

only be accessed by service personnel. At the time of 
delivery ex works all alarms are activated. 

 

With opened cover, automatic refilling is suppressed. 
Manual refilling (e. g. for unfogging) is possible. 

 

The distances between the sensors of the level probe 
(standard design) are as follows: 

Minimum alarm to minimum: 

3 cm 

Minimum to maximum:   

4 cm 

Maximum to maximum alarm: 

3 cm 

 

Alternatively there is a level control probe spaced at 

2 cm/2cm/2cm. If required, please contact the 
manufacturer or service. 

 

In order to set the requested level in the storage ves-
sel, the vessel probe has to be inserted more or less 
deeply into the instrument leads provided for this.
