Level detection for oil-water separators
RAC 531

APPLICATION

- Monitoring of hydrocarbon level in oil-water separators.

PRINCIPLE

RAC 531 is designed for the monitoring of hydrocarbon fluids separators. With sensor, OP/10 (OP/5) the alarm device detects when the maximum thickness is reached.

Status display, from LED, on front panel:

• Yellow LED –> Alarm occured, not yet reset
• Green LED –> Normal monitoring status
• Red LED –> Alarming status

The alarm device has a built-in buzzer. A jumper may disable its function; in this configuration, the lighting alarm and relay output inform the current ALARM status to operator.
The alarm device has an auto-diagnostic of measuring loop and of device integrity. An alarm signal occurs in case of dysfunction.    
There are three marks on the sensor for an easy fitting according to highest hydrocarbon layer thickness.
