Product catalog summary
Overview: The Series 5400 B/W Controls Plug-In Style Liquid Level Control Relay is designed for safe, reliable, and economical use in various commercial and industrial products. It is particularly suited for level control applications in industries such as food, drug, dairy, brewing, distilling, and chemical processing.
Key Features:
  • UL Recognized Component and CUL File certifications.
  • Choice of direct or inverse operation for fail-safe control.
  • LED indicator for relay status.
  • Operates reliably in any mounting position and across a wide temperature range (-10° to 131°F).
  • User-adjustable sensing resistance and rugged octal plug-in housing.
Specifications:
  • Voltage options: 120 VAC, 240 VAC, and 24 VAC (special order).
  • Power requirement: 1.2 volt-amperes max.
  • Load contacts: Single pole, double throw with silver cadmium oxide.
  • Contact ratings: 10 amps resistive load or 1/3 hp at 120 VAC; 6 amps at 240 VAC or 28 VDC.
  • Sensing voltage: 18 VAC RMS max.
  • Sensitivity: Adjustable 1K to 250K ohms, factory set at 100K ohms.
  • Mounting: 8 pin octal base socket (sold separately).
  • Time delay: 5 seconds +/- 10%, with other options available.
Applications: The relays are used in applications requiring fail-safe control, such as high-level and low-level alarms. Diagrams illustrate the use of Type 5400-A for high-level alarms and Type 5400-B for low-level alarms.
Installation Notes: The relays feature a low voltage, low current sensing circuit, allowing the use of small gauge lead wires without the need for shielding. A good metallic ground return is necessary for reliable operation.
Ordering Information: Available in single-level direct and inverse operation models for 110 VAC and 220 VAC.
Accessories: Requires a standard 8 pin octal base for mounting, with an optional hold-down strap for vibration environments.

5400 Series, Solid State Relays-1

AUTOMATION & PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES Series 5400 B/W Controls Plug In Style Liquid Level Control Relay COMPACT PLUG IN STYLE RELAY B/W Series 5400 Relays were developed especially for use as safe, reliable, economical original equipment components in many different types of commercial and industrial products. Designed to operate from electrodes or probes contacting conductive liquids, they are ideally suited to level control applications in such products as vending, dispensing, ice-making machines, water softeners, dishwashers, and coffee makers, plus many type of operating equipment in the food, drug, dairy, brewing, distilling and chemical processing industries. In addition, Series 5400 Relays have a low energy sensing circuit with a lock-in holding feature that permits operation over a range of levels, or from momentary contact pilot devices such as float, actuators, etc. Thus they are equally suitable for use as original equipment components in many products and systems that require monitoring and control of such process variable as temperature, pressure, humidity, flow, voltage and current, etc. OTHER FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES • UL Recognized Component File No. E61377 • CUL File No. LR 33434 • Choice of direct or inverse operation to provide failsafe control. In direct operation, load relay is energized when the low voltage ac sensing circuit is completed. In inverse operation, load relay is de-energized when the low voltage ac sensing circuit is completed. • LED indicates when relay is energized. • Relays will operate reliably when mounted in any position required to meet a complete range of application design requirements. • Relays will operate over ambient temperature range from -10° + 131°F (-23° to 55 °C). • User adjustable sensing resistance. • Rugged octal plug-in housing. • Heavy-duty internal construction. B/W Controls Series 5400 Liquid Level Controls Single Probe (Direct Operation) Cat. No.: 5400-A-L1 Voltage: 120 VAC Sensitivity range: 1 K to 250K ohms BASIC SPECIFICATIONS Voltage: 120 volts ac, 50/60 hertz 240 volts ac, 50/60 hertz 24 volts ac, 50/60 hertz (special order) 1.2 volt-amperes max. Single pole, double throw. Silver Cadmium Oxide 10 amps resistive load or 1/3 hp at 120 volts ac; 6 amps at 240 volts ac or 28 volts dc. Min. load 100 mA at 5 VDC. 18 VAC RMS max. 2.0 mA RMS max. Adjustable 1K to 250K ohms +/- 10%. Factory set at 100k OHMS +/- 10%. 8 pin octal base socket (sold separately) 5 seconds +/- 10%, other delay times available on 5400-A and 5400-B series only. NOTE: All line voltage circuits are isolated from the low voltage ac sensing circuit to assure optimum safety in service.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Diagrams at right illustrate basic details of typical application in which Series 5400 Relays are used as original equipment components to provide fail-safe control by de-energizing the load in event of power of relay failure. In Diagram 1, Type 5400-A Relay is used in direct operation to provide high-level alarm. In Diagram 2, Type 5400-B Relay is used in inverse operation to provide low-level alarm. ACCESSORIES The 5400 relays require a standard 8 pin octal base for mounting. In addition a hold down strap is also available to secure the 5400 the relay to the octal base...
