Probes for use with the FLB1: 

 

4.2 Function 

 

If  a  conducting  liquid  is  in  the  measuring  cell,  the  feeding  triangular  voltage  drives  a  current 
through the liquid. The value of this current is proportional to the conductivity of the liquid in the 
measuring  cell.  This  value  is  detected  by  the  evaluation  unit  and  converted  into  the  4-20  mA 
interface.  The  current  is  simultaneously  converted  into  a  voltage.  This  voltage  is  amplified 
depending on the position of the limit switch and compared with a reference. If the result of the 
comparison is greater than or equal to the reference, the relay is de-energised and the contacts 
open  the  burner  chain.  The  warning  light  "Fault"  (Störung)  lights  up.  If  the  conductivity  of  the 
liquid drops below 78% of the set limit, the relay is energised again. The warning light "Fault" is 
extinguished. 
This  function  can  be  checked  by  pressing  and  holding  down  the  "Test  K"  key.  If  there  are 
malfunctions of the system, e.g. due to power failure or a short circuit, the evaluation unit reacts as 
if the conductivity has exceeded the limit value.  
The warning light "U 

B

" indicates that the operating voltage is present. 

 

5. Design and installation FLB1 

 

The device is supplied in a plastic plug-in housing for fitting into switch cabinets. The housing is 
designed for quick fitting with a spring catch for the DIN EN 50022 standard 35 mm carrier rail and 
for screw fixing on a mounting plate.
