Protection class: IP64.

SAM 8 Collective Acknowledgement Unit

Connects up to 8 transducers, triggering alarms with two relay terminals.

Auxiliary power: 230 VAC.
Protection class: IP20.

Overview: The Acknowledgement Unit QE 200 enhances the functionality of LS 500 and NB 220 H measuring transducers by providing two auxiliary power supply loaded changeover contacts and an acknowledgement function. This allows for the integration of acoustic and visual alarm transmitters into the system.

Technical Specifications:

Auxiliary Power: 230 VAC; 24 VDC
Power Input: Maximum 2 VA, 2 W
Ambient Temperature: -25 °C to +60 °C
Protection Class: IP40
Dimensions: Height 110 mm x Width 50 mm x Depth 125 mm
Outputs: Switched auxiliary power supply; 1 acknowledgeable alarm, 1 non-acknowledgeable alarm; Load: together, max. 100 W
Inputs: Acknowledgement button (NO), control input (for connecting the LS 500 or the NB 220 H)

Wall Fitting 907 Z: In combination with the Wall Fitting 907 Z, the overfill prevention device (76 with NB 220) can be used as a limit sensor for filling from a tanker. The plug in the Wall Fitting serves as the counterpart for the 903 junction boxes commonly used in tankers. It connects to the relay output of the NB 220, allowing overfilling to be signaled back to the tank truck.

Sample Application: The system is suitable for delivering fresh oil (motor oil, transmission oil, etc.) by tank trucks with amplifiers.
