Level contacts:
The sliding tubes contain the adjustable reed contacts (nor-
mally closed and normally open) that are switched by the per-
manent magnets installed in the float.
If with falling oil level, the float reaches the switching points,
the contacts are operated magnetically. The spool positions
of the contacts are maintained until the float exceeds the
switching points again as the oil level rises.
The switching points can be adjusted in the device.
The microprocessor-controlled display and control unit pro-
cesses the analog input signals for the analysis of the level
and temperature control. The level and temperature settings
can be made at the control unit in a simple menu tree by
means of pushbuttons and read at the LED display.
The display and control unit has a red, four-digit seven-
segment LED display and 3 pushbuttons for the operation as
well as up to 4 LEDs integrated in the front plate for display-
ing alarm conditions.
The device has moreover four freely adjustable PNP switch-
ing outputs plus the adjustable switch-back points (version
D1) and alternatively (version D2) two freely programmable
PNP switching outputs and 2 x 4-20 mA output for the contin-
uous measurement of oil level and temperature.
The switching conditions are shown in the display.
The 4-20 mA output can optionally be changed to 0-10 V,
2-10 V or 0-5 V.
In the display, the measured temperature or filling value will
be shown in the desired unit (°C, °F, L, cm, %, inch or mm)
according to the setting. By default, the temperature display is
set to °C.
During the setting and/or programming of the corresponding
process parameters, the parameter values and/or the related
menu items will be shown in the display.
In case of an energy supply failure, all input values will be
stored, the min/max values can be retrieved from a perma-
nent memory, if necessary.
Function level
Function display and control unit (version D)
By turning the contacts by 180°, the switching function
changes; the contact type normally closed contact becomes a
normally open contact or vice versa.
Resistance measuring chain:
The sliding tube contains the resistance measuring chain
(contact distance 5 mm / resolution) for the continuous re-
cording of the filling level. If the individual reed contact is
switched (closed) by the permanent magnet contained in the
float, one resistance is in each case activated. The added re-
sistance value is converted in 4-20 mA by a transformer.
Temperature contact:
At the lowest point within the sliding tube, the bi-metal tem-
perature contacts are attached to the board and secured by
means of a shrink tube (the same procedure is used for the
versions with temperature sensor PT 100 and resistance ther-
mometer with analog output 4-20 mA). If the desired tempera-
ture switching point is reached, the bi-metal contact is opened
or closed.
Function temperature
Temperature sensor PT100:
The PT100 consists of a temperature sensor guaranteeing
continuous temperature recording. In this connection, the
max. cable length of 6 m [236.22] is to be observed.
Resistance thermometer with measuring transducer,
output 4–20 mA:
The resistance thermometer PT100 with measuring transduc-
er is also attached in the sliding tube at the board. The tem-
perature-dependent signal is converted into a linear current
change of 4-20 mA.
Parameterization
The menu navigation is based on the VDMA standard sheet
for fluid sensors 24574-1.
The operating menu is designed hierarchically, as tree struc-
ture.
That means that frequently used functions and adjustment
points can be accessed very quickly and rarely used menu
items can be found in a sub-menu.
Using the ▲ and ▼ keys, the corresponding parameter is set
and/or the next menu item is displayed.
Using the ► key, the marked menu item is selected and/or
the set parameter is accepted and saved.
The parameter may be a numerical value and a selection of
functions (e.g. NO [output as normally open contact],
NC [output as normally closed contact] or i1 [analog output
4…20 mA]).
After confirmation of a parameter or selection of a function us-
ing the ► key, the display switches back to the current menu
item. Then, you can display the next menu item using ▲ and
▼ and select it using ►.
