When installing the oil separator sensors, observe the followingsafety instructions:Installation may only be performed by trained personnel observingall the applicable safety regulations. This also applies to the local safety regulations and accident prevention regulations notmentioned in these operating instructions.ՕThe sensors may be installed in the potentially explosive Zone0.Observe all the relevant explosion protection regulations (VDE andall local installation regulations).The sensors must be de-energised.ՕThe sensors must not be used in high-flow, non-conductive liquids(e.g. in...

When operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, the extensioncable used must not exceed the maximum permissible capacitance or inductance (see instructions for the measuring transducer, page 10). The wiring to the measuring transducer consists of 3-core cable (3x0.5mm > 2 )(preferably blue cable for applications in potentially explosive atmospheres). In order to connect the sensor to the measuring transducer, pleaseobserve the installation instructions for SEPARIX-ControlC in thismanual or appropriate separate instructions concerning a different measuring transducer. Proper functioning...

If the o i l separator sensor reports an alar m , the red LED " Alar m" flashes on the m easur i ng transducer . If there i s a fault (fault i n the sensor connected), the yellow " Fault " LED flashes . In such a case, proceed as follows : 1 . Press Alar m button . The yellow/red LED now re m a i ns l i t cont i nuously i nstead of flash i ng; the fault/alar m has been acknowledged . If switch 1 on the "Options" switch block was used to activateautomaticalarm repetition, the alarm will have to be acknowledgedagain 24hours later. 2 . El imi nate the cause of the fault or alar m. The...

As of: 12.20034.1Mode of operationThe oil separator sensor is used in light liquid separators (e.g. oil or grease separators) and serves the purpose of detecting the separation layer between water and light liquid. When the layer thickness of the light liquid reaches the switching point of the sensor (40 mm above the sensor tip), an alarm signal is produced via the respective measuring transducer.The sensor operates according to the capacitive measuring principle. For thepurpose of separation layer detection this sensor exploits the difference between the relative dielectric constant of...

4.3Operating instructionsWithin the scope of regular maintenance work on the light liquid separator, the oil separator sensor must be properly cleaned thoroughly using a moist cloth. The risk of electrostatic charges due to high-flow, non-conductive liquids (e.g. in pipelines, stirring tanks) must be avoided. Grease-dissolving cleansing agents can be used to remove any firmly clinging grease or oil residues.Prior to putting into service, all devices must be checked with respect to correctconnection and proper operation. The electrical power supply, including the supply of the downstream...
