2.Note

Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit

into operation. Follow the instructions precisely as described herein.

The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar

with these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations

applying to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.

When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the

machines fulfil the EC-machine guidelines.

3.Instrument Inspection

Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.

Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of

the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /

forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during

transit.

Scope of delivery:

The standard delivery includes:

Electrical Limit Switches Model: NBK-R, NBK-RM, NBK-RT or NBK-RA

Operating Instructions

4.Regulation Use

Any use of the device which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification may

invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of

the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.

The Limit Switches for the NBK Bypass Level Indicators are used for continuos

measuring, display and monitoring of liquids in tanks or vessels. Depending on

the design the limit switches are suitable for applications with a higher operating

temperature or for the use in hazardous areas.

4.1 Electrical limit switch

-For standard applications NBK-R/NBK-RM: Bistable changeover contact fitted in

a polycarbonate housing with 3m connection cable

-For high temperature applications NBK-RT200/-RT400: Bistable changeover

contact fitted in an aluminium die cast housing with terminal connectors.

-For ATEX applications NBK-RA: Bistable changeover contact as an

encapsulated proximity switch fitted in metallic cast housing with 3 m connection

cable.

ATEX-marking for contact NBK-RA (encapsulated version):

II 2G Ex mb IIC T6 / T5 Gb

II 2D Ex mb IIIC IP67 T 105 °C Db

Use the contacts appropriate and as intended.

Make sure that only accessories are used in hazardous areas that meet

all the requirements of the European directives and national legislation.

The contacts NBK-RA with ATEX approval meet the requirements of category

2 GD. The proximity switches with ATEX approval are used in the following

zones:

2G in zone 1

3G in zone 2

2D in zone 21

3D in zone 22

5.Operating Principle

Kobold Bypass Limit Transmitter are used for the monitoring of limit values in

tanks or vessels.

They are firmly attached with mounting plates and ribbon clamps to the Bypass

Level Indicator, model NBK, and can be moved to any position on the bypass-

tube within the measuring length.

The reed-contacts in the limit switches react bistable and they are switched by

the magnetic float inside the NBK tube as passing by.

One or more limit switches can be mounted on the bypass.

6.Mechanical Connection

NBK-R/NBK-RM

Mount and tighten the reed switch (NBK-R, NBK-RM

and NBK-RA) - if available - on the bypass tube at the

opposite side of the roller indicator with the provided

ribbon clamps (ex contact: two ribbon clamps). The height

of the switch contacts may be selected at will. The cable

connection must point downwards. The switch must be

attached close to the bypass tube. Due to technical

adaptations, it may come to malfunctions, when installing

new contacts in an existing plant. If the contact does not

switch during the float passes by, the preassembled

spacer (stainless steel) must be removed.

NBK-RA

NBK-RT200/400

The high temperature switch

RT200/400 will be mounted to the bypass

tube with the tube clip fixed at the contact

housing.

Install the switch (if available) according to the

diagram and connect it to the electrical controller.

When switching inductive loads, such as contactors,

relays, etc., electrical limit values should not be

exceeded, also temporarily by e.g. voltage peaks.

The use of a contact protection relay is

recommended to avoid overloading the reed

contacts.

Valid regulations for hazardous areas, and

regulations for installation (DIN/VDE 0165), should

be observed when installing the NBK level indicator

in zone 1 or 2 of hazardous areas (no combustible

liquids).

Note to NBK-RT200:

The contact must be connected by an adequate

switch amplifier (e. g. REL-6005/-6010) to allow for

an ATEX-conform connection of the contact NBK-

RT-200 (see connecting example).

Note to NBK-RA:

Protect the circuit of the limit contact with a fuse.

This fuse must tolerate the permitted nominal

current of the switching contact and must have a

deactivating ability according to the possible short

circuit current of the power system at the place of

installation. The contact is activated by the North

Pole of a magnet and deactivated by its South Pole.

8.Commissioning

Commissioning of the electrical reed switch

Function of switches

All switches have three connection poles (black (2), blue (3) and brown (1)).

The black wire (2) is the common pole for both switching functions (N/C and N/O

contact).

The float must pass the switch once in both directions so that the switching func-

tion is in line with the terminal connection diagram and table below.

These instructions are often ignored when an alarm lamp is connected directly

with the result that the alarm lamp incorrectly indicates a fault.

When the switch has been passed, it is ready for operation and requires no

maintenance.

Hysteresis

Hysteresis is the difference between contact closing

and opening points. A hysteresis of approximately 15

mm float travel is achieved by factory tuning of the

float magnet and contact strength.
