1. APPLICATION
The conductive measuring principle can be applied to liquids with specific conductivity over
10 S/cm. The switching unit can sense the resistance between probes. Conductivity
measurement is suitable only for detecting the presence of liquid at a given level of the
tank. This level is represented by the length of the probe.
The level switch consists of a NIVOCONT KRK-512-5 type switching unit and the
KLN-2 type probes selected according to the task. Probes are to be connected to the
NIVOCONT KS-0 type probe socket head that can be screwed into the tank. If the
material of the tank or its internal insulation is not conductive then a reference probe
should be used in addition to the one, two, three or four probe(s), if the material of the tank
is conductive, the tank can be used as a reference probe.
The conductive switch is suitable for filling / emptying control or level limit.

3. INSTALLATION
5.4. LEVEL CONTROL
KRK-512-5 switching unit can be mounted on DIN EN 60715 rail.

It is recommended that the KLN-2 type probes are cut to the length required for level
detection on site. The probes should be screwed into the KS-20 type sockets.
NIVOCONT KRK-512-5 can be

used for control of filling or
emptying.
During filling control the PUMP
switch should be in position UP
and during emptying control in
position DOWN. That way in
case a power supply outage
occurs
(energised
relay)
overfilling or unwanted emptying
is prevented.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TIGHTEN THE PROBE WITH AN M6 NUT!

When using KSH-204 type probe sockets the reference probes should be tightened with
special SW hexagonal M6 nuts!
It is suggested that KLP- type separators be used at every 0.5m for multiple probe
devices to keep the probes apart.
A KSK-201 single probe, attached to an insulated cable, can be lowered into pits and wells
without running the risk of a short circuit. When a measurement is needed in a well or in a
plastic pipe 2 of them have to be used.
4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
If the wall of the tank is
conductive no reference probe
is needed. In this case terminal
C is to be connected to the
tank. On multiple probe units
E1 and E2 are marked with
14, the reference probe is
marked with C. Admissible
length of cable between signal
processor and probes depends
on cable capacity and
conductivity.

5. PUTTING INTO OPERATION

5.1. ADJUSTMENT
6. MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
The green LED (Un) shows that the unit is on, and the energised state of the relay is
indicated by the red LED. Operating mode and delay time (ON and OFF) can be set with
the rotary selector switch and potentiometer on the front panel.
To set the sensitivity using SENS potentiometer do the following: submerge all probes into
the fluid. Set a minimal delay time (t). Adjust the sensitivity from min. to max. value until the
relay becomes energised. Now set the sensitivity a little higher, but dont set a higher
sensitivity than needed.

5.3. SINGLE-LEVEL MONITORING LIMIT SWITCHING

If KRK-512-5 is monitoring only one
level, the sensor probe should be
connected to both E1 and E2
terminals. For High Fail-safe mode
indication the PUMP switch should be
in UP position and for Low level alarm
indication in DOWN position. Level
alarm conditions are indicated in the
same way (by de-energised relay
state) as when a power cut-off occurs.
