Relays - 5200 Solid State Relay

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the technical specifications and operational guidelines for the Series 5200 Solid-State Relays, which are designed for controlling both high and low resistance liquids and moist bulk materials. These relays are particularly suitable for applications that require low voltage control circuits.
Specifications:
  • Dual Input Voltage: Operates at 115 or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz with a tolerance of +10% / -20%.
  • Power Consumption: Maximum of 9 Volt-Amperes and 6 watts.
  • Contact Rating: Capable of handling 10 Amps at 120 or 240 VAC or 28 VDC; supports 1/4 HP at 120 VAC and 1/3 HP at 240 VAC.
  • Output Contact Arrangement: Features double pole, double throw load contacts and single pole, double throw holding circuit contacts.
  • Ambient Temperatures: Operates effectively between -40°F to 180°F (-40°C to 82.2°C).
  • Sensing Circuit: Low Sensitivity operates at 8 volt AC and less than 30 mA short-circuit; High Sensitivity operates at 9.6 volt DC and less than 1 mA short-circuit.
Operational Modes:
  • Direct Operation: The relay is activated when liquid contacts the upper electrode, allowing current to flow.
  • Inverse Operation: The relay is activated when the liquid level drops below the lower electrode, stopping current flow.
Sensitivity Ranges:
  • Low Sensitivity: Suitable for electrically conductive liquids with low to medium specific resistance, such as potable water, wastewater, and various food and chemical processing liquids.
  • High Sensitivity: Suitable for liquids with medium to high specific resistance, such as distilled water, steam condensate, and alcohol solutions. Ideal for applications where the relay is located far from the electrodes.
Enclosure Types: Offers various NEMA-rated enclosures, including weatherproof and corrosion-resistant options.
Grounding Requirements: Requires a reliable external ground connection, typically to a metal pipe leading to the tank. If unavailable, an additional ground electrode is necessary.
Applications: These relays are used for controlling pump motors, valves, and other equipment in industries such as food, drug, dairy, and chemical processing.

SENSITIVITY SELECTION B / W level control systems use the liquid as an electrical conductor to complete the Series 5200 relay sensing circuit, and it is necessary that the relay have an operating sensitivity greater than the resistance of the liquid to be controlled. The sensitivity of both models of the Series 5200 relay is determined by the valued of the replaceable R1 resistor used. Since the resistance of liquids vary over a large range, a wide selection of fixed and variable sensitivities are available as detailed on the chart below. When operating from contacts of pilot switches, any of...
