■Ratings and Characteristics

Note: 1. The relay in the 61F-GP-N8H de-energizes when there is water present across the electrodes, whereas the relay in the 61F-GP-N8HY

energizes when there is water present across the electrodes.

2. The length when using completely-insulated, 600-V, 3-conductor (0.75 mm2) cabtyre cables. Usable cable lengths will become shorter

as the cable diameter or number of conductors becomes larger.

3. The insulation resistance and dielectric strength indicate values between power terminals and electrode terminals, between power ter-

minals and contact terminals, and between electrode terminals and contact terminals.

4. Possible to use with 10 kΩor less, however, this may cause reset failure.

Conductive Level Controller 61F-GP-N8 E-9

Level

Controllers

Operation

The Conductive Level Controller consists of a plug-in controller con-

nected to a set of stainless steel probes. These are cut to length and

inserted vertically into the liquid. A low voltage is applied between

these probes and the earth probe (or tank, if it is electrically conduc-

tive). The water provides a current between the earth probe and the

high-level probe. The output relay in the Controller is energized when

the water level reaches the high-level probe and de-energized when

the water level falls below it.

For two-point control a low-level probe is used as well. In this case

the relay does not de-energize until the water level falls below the

low-level probe. Using the low-level probe allows a wide differential

between switching a pump on and off, and can avoid excessive pump

operation during tank emptying or filling. If this differential is not

required, the low-level probe need not be connected.

Surge Suppressor Unit (61F-03B/04B)

A high-capacity protective device is available which protects 61F-

series Floatless Level Controllers against faults arising from electri-

cal surges (such as indirect strokes of lightning) when the Controllers

are employed in elevated water tanks or in high-altitude locations.

Precautions

1. Mount the Surge Suppressor Unit as close to the Controller as

possible.

2. When grounding the Surge Suppressor Unit in the vicinity of the

Controller, connect the ground side of the Surge Suppressor Unit

to electrode E3.

3. When connecting the Surge Suppressor Unit, wire as shown in

the following example (with three electrodes).

Application Examples

•Level control in tanks, reservoirs, sewage plants, underground

wells, mixing plants etc.

•Level control for element protection in pipes, channels, and irriga-

tion systems.

•Flow detection in pipes, channels, and irrigation systems.

•Ice bank control in cold drink dispensers, ice makers, water chillers,

bulk milk tanks, etc.

•Dispensing of liquids by volume.

•Indication of liquid buildup due to filter blockages.

•Pollution/foul water detection for rivers, drains, etc.

•Alarm control warning of abnormal or dangerously high or low lev-

els.

■Application

When using electrodes in sea water or sewage, provide a sufficient

interval (normally 1 m) between the electrodes. If the sufficient inter-

val cannot be provided, employ a low-sensitivity-type Floatless Level

Controller.

When taping one of the electrodes to prevent it from contacting the

other electrodes in water, do not tape the electrode entirely but leave

at least 100 mm of its end uncovered.

When the required length of the electrode is more than 1 m, use a

separator at each joint of two electrodes so as to prevent the elec-

trodes from contacting one another.

Note: Avoid use of the separators in dust-containing liquids.

Usually, electrodes are used in a set of three: long, medium, and

short. Connect the short electrode to E1, the medium electrode to

E2, and the long electrode to E3. Make E3 at least 50 mm longer

than E2.

Electrodes are in actual contact with the liquid. Standard electrodes

are made of stainless steel and usable in purified water, sea water,

sewage, acid (except acetic acid, sulfuric acid, etc.) and alkaline liq-

uids, although they may corrode depending upon the temperature

and working conditions.
