Devices are only approved for proper usage in accordance with intended purpose. Improper

handling will result in voiding of any warrantee or manufacturer's responsibility.

The Declaration of Conformity, Certificate of Compliance, Statement of Conformity, EC-type-

examination certificate and data sheets are an integral part of this document.

The data sheet contains the electrical data of the Declaration of Conformity, the Certificate of

Compliance and the EC-type-examination certificate.

The documents mentioned are available from http://www.pepperl-fuchs.com or contact your

local Pepperl+Fuchs representative.

1.3 Declaration of Conformity

All products have been developed and manufactured taking into consideration applicable

European standards and regulations.

The manufacturer of this product, Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH in D-68301 Mannheim, Germany, has

a certified quality assurance system in conformity with ISO 9001.

1.4 Intended use

The level sensor NVF-112-0400 (referred to as "sensor" in the following sections) is designed to

prevent containers or tanks containing flammable liquids such as petrol and oil from

overflowing.

The sensor NVF-112-0400 must always be connected to an ATEX-approved, intrinsically safe

warning device of type NVO5-11 (see product program).

1.5 Delivery, Transport and Storage

Check the packaging and contents for damage. In the event of damage, notify the postal

service or express agent and inform the supplier.

Check the scope of supply for completeness and correctness using the order and delivery

papers.

Keep the original packaging.

The device should always be stored or transported in the original packaging.

Always store the device in a dry and clean environment. Observe the permissible storage

temperature (see data sheet).

1.6 Installation and Commissioning

1.6.1 Installing the sensor

The sensor may be installed in potentially explosive zone 0 in accordance with Directive

94/9/EC (ATEX). The sensor must not be installed in places with potentially aggressive vapors.

The sensor and warning device must be free of voltage during installation and maintenance.

The warning device must only be connected to the supply voltage once the sensors are

mounted and connected properly.

The identification plate is part of the product and should not be removed.

The sensor has IP54 protection at the connection head side and IP68 protection at the

container or tank side and is weather and oil-resistant.

When installing the device in the container or tank, observe the permissible ambient

temperature in the range from -20 °C...60°C (253 K ... 333 K).

1.6.2 Installation in connection with intrinsically safe circuits

Installation of the intrinsically safe power circuits of the devices is permitted in potentially

explosive zones, whereby, in particular, safe separation from all non-intrinsically safe power

circuits must be guaranteed.

The intrinsically safe current circuits must be installed according to valid setup regulations.

For the interconnection of the intrinsically safe field devices and the intrinsically safe power

circuits of the associated devices, the respective maximum values of the field device and the

associated device with regard to explosion protection must be observed (proof of intrinsic

safety). EN 60079-14/IEC 60079-14 must be observed.

1.6.3 Sensor cable

Sensor cables must not be installed in cable or conductor bundles together with other current

circuits. Avoid installing sensor cables parallel to other cables that may transmit interfering

signals, which impair the sensor signal and thus the alarm function

If you extend the sensor cable, observe the applicable ATEX specifications with regard to color,

quality and constancy. Use an unscreened cable with a conductor size of 1 mm².

1.7 Maintenance

When operating containers or tanks filled with flammable fluids, observe any standards,

directives or laws that stipulate the need for regular system inspections or sensor checks.

1.8 Repair

The devices may not be repaired, changed or manipulated. If there is a defect, the product

must always be replaced with an original part.

1.9 Disposal

Disposal of devices and their packaging material must be performed in compliance with the

applicable laws and guidelines of the corresponding country.

The devices do not contain batteries which need to be disposed of separately from the

products.

LEVEL SENSOR

Product Specifications

2 Product Specifications

2.1 Function

The sensor is designed for use with oil products.

The level sensor is a PTC resistor sensor. It is energized via an intrinsically safe relay.

The PTC resistor warms up if it is enclosed by air and, at the same time as falling current, the

ohmic resistance in the PTC resistor sensor increases. The intrinsically safe relay is in normal

status.

If the PTC resistor is enclosed by liquid, it does not heat up and the current increases. The

intrinsically safe relay switches to alarm position.

The sensor can distinguish between liquid and air.

Caution!

Malfunction or damage through the use of the sensor as a level sensor in glues and paints

Glues and paints can coagulate when heated and stick to the sensor. This can impair the

properties of the sensor during temperature change and the safety and operation of the sensor,

or the complete alarm system, is no longer guaranteed.

Do not use the sensor as a level sensor in glues and paints or in liquids with similar properties.

Caution!

Malfunction or damage through the use of the sensor NVF-112-0400 as a level sensor in water

and other conductive fluids

The sensor will be damaged due to the conductivity nature of the liquid and the operation of the

complete alarm system is no longer guaranteed.

Do not use the sensor as a level sensor in water and other conductive liquids.

2.2 Layout and dimensions

The level sensor NVF-112-0400 is a rod sensor with connection head. The PTC resistor sensor

is sealed in a plastic tube at the end of the brass tube. The rod sensor is mounted to the

container or tank via a process connector with ½¨ external thread.

The switching point of the level sensor is at the same level as the 5 mm bore on the plastic

tube.
