NRG 26-60 - Installation & Operating Manual -
819875-00
Function
The NRG 26-60 level electrode functions according to capacitive measurement and converts the fill level
information into a data telegram. The measurement range of 0 - 100 % is scalable along the effective
length of the electrode rod.
Automatic self-test
An automatic self-test cyclically monitors the safety and function of the level electrode and measured
value recorder.
Faults in the electrical connection or electronic measuring equipment trigger error signals and alarms.
The data are transferred to the NRR 2-6x level controller via an ISO 11898 CAN bus in the CANopen
protocol.
These data telegrams contain the following information:
■
■
Measured level value as raw data
■
■
Measured level value scaled between 0 – 100 %, as a 16-bit data word in high resolution
■
■
Measure level value scaled in 1 % stages without decimal places
■
■
Status or error information
■
◆
Error signals in the event of faults in electronic or mechanical parts
■
◆
Temperature in the level electrode terminal box
Controller functions
The NRG 26-60 level electrode can be used together with a NRR 2-60 / NRR 2-61 level controller as
a water level controller. The controller is parametrised exclusively using the URB 60 visual display and
operating unit.
The alarm limits are set using the URB 60. Read the relevant Installation & Operating Manual.
For information on how the alarm contacts function, please read the Installation & Operating
Manual of the corresponding NRR 2-60 or NRR 2-61 level controller.
The level electrode is installed inside steam boilers, tanks or feed lines of water boilers. A protective tube
provided on site keeps it functioning reliably (see page 25 “Installation examples”).
A capacitive NRG 26-60 level electrode can be installed in a protective tube or level pot together with an
NRG 1x-60 or NRG 1x-61 level electrode.
Operation in external level pots
If a level electrode is installed in a lockable level pot outside the boiler, the connecting pipes must be
flushed regularly.
If the steam pipe is ≥ 40 mm and the water pipe is ≥ 100 mm, installation is regarded as internal. In this
case, upstream monitoring of flushing processes is not required.
