Main Features of the Different
Electronic Inserts

The last number of the order code on the nameplate identifies which type of
electronic insert is mounted in the Nivocompact FTC 731:

1=Electronic insert EC 30

Two-wire AC: 21 V

250 V

Electronic switch, max. 350 mA

2=Electronic insert EC 32

Three-wire DC: 10 V

55 V

Transistor circuit, load connection PNP, max. 350 mA

3=Electronic insert EC 33

Three-wire DC: 10 V

55 V 10 V

55 V

Transistor circuit, load connection NPN, max. 350 mA

4=Electronic insert EC 34

with potential-free relay output
AC power supply 21 V

250 V or

DC power supply 20 V

200 V

Load Limit Values

Note the limit values of the loads to which you want to connect the
Nivocompact. Exceeding the load can destroy the electronic insert (or the
relay contact in the EC 34)

Fuse

Ensure that the rating of the fine-wire fuse corresponds to the maximum
load to be connected.
The fine-wire fuse does not protect the electronic insert of the Nivocompact
FTC 731.

Diameter of Wiring

Because of the small current used, only small diameter cabling is required.
Low-cost cabling with diameter of 0.5 mm

2

 to max. 1.5 mm

2

 is

recommended.

Earth Connection, Grounding

The Nivocompact must be grounded to give reliable operation free from
interference. This is done by either connecting it to a grounded silo with
metal or reinforced concrete walls or else to the earth conductor PE.
The probe requires a good counter potential. This is done by connecting
the ground connection on the outside of the housing to an electrically
conductive part of the silo. If the silo is made of a non-conductive material,
then connect to the ground connection conductive and grounded parts
near to the silo. The connecting cable must be as short as possible.
