IEC 61508
International standard IEC 61508 describes both the type of risk assessment and actions taken to provide
appropriate safety functions.
SIL (safety integrity level)

Safety integrity levels SIL 1 to 4 are used to quantify risk reduction. SIL 4 is the highest level of risk reduc-
tion. International standard IEC 61508 forms the basis for establishing, testing and operating technical
safety systems.
NRGT .. / NRR.. / NRS.. / URS .. / URB .. / SRL .. / etc.

SELV
Safety Extra Low Voltage
Operating point (of the plant)

The operating point describes the operating parameters within which a plant or boiler is operated in its
nominal range. In a pressurised steam boiler, for example, these parameters would be capacity, pressure
and temperature.
The design data may be a lot more stringent, however.
A boiler that is operated at 10 bar and 180 °C may be designed for a pressure of 60 bar and a tempera-
ture of 275 °C, for example, which is not necessarily its operating point.

Usage for the intended purpose
Use as a water level controller

NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters can be used to continually measure the water level in
pressurised steam and hot-water plants, or in condensate and feedwater tanks. The calibrated measuring
range from 0 % to 100 % constitutes the linear profile of the 4-20 mA current output.
■ The transmitter’s secure 4-20 mA actual value output (SIL 2) can be used with a suitable level control-
ler, as a water level controller with MIN/MAX alarm, for example.
Influence of the fluid to be monitored

■ NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters can be used in fluids with different conductivity and in
insulating media. However, a conductivity of less than 100 μS/cm has a major influence on the meas-
ured capacitance, which is why recalibration of the measuring range (see page 40) at the operating
point* and after a cold start is extremely important.
* Operating point of the plant, see page 7.
■ To achieve the best possible reproducibility and maintain high-quality measurements (see “Technical
data” on page 16), the sensor must be installed in a protective tube (see “Installation example with
dimensions for the NRGT 26-2” on page 30 ff.).
■ The dielectric constant of the measured medium may require an adjustment to the measurement
frequency if it deviates significantly from that of the usual water (Er = 80). Please contact GESTRA
Service.
Applicable directives and standards

NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters have been tested and approved for use in the scope
governed by the following directives and standards:
Directives:
■ Directive 2014/68/EU EU Pressure Equipment Directive
■ Directive 2014/35/EU Low Voltage Directive
■ Directive 2014/30/EU EMC Directive
■ Directive 2011/65/EU RoHS II Directive
Standards:
■ EN 60730-1 Automatic electrical controls – Part 1:
General requirements
■ EN 61508 Functional safety of electronic systems
Standards documents:
■ VdTÜV Bulletin BP WASS 0100-RL
Requirements for water level control and limiting equipment
Approval for marine applications:
The NRGT26-2s level transmitter is approved for marine use.
■ DNV-GL Class Guideline DNVGL-CG-0339

Usage for the intended purpose
Admissible system components, dependent on the required safety level

In accordance with EU Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, standard EN 61508 and the technical
rules of VdTÜV Bulletin BP WASS 0100-RL, the level electrode can be operated with safety integrity level
SIL 2.
If an electronic control unit (diagnostic tester) that also has a SIL 2 rating is connected to the 4-20 mA
output, the entire event chain system can be operated at this safety integrity level.
An electronic control unit (diagnostic tester) with a higher SIL rating does not increase the
safety of the overall system. The maximum achievable safety level is dictated by the lowest
SIL rating of a participant in the event chain as a whole.
Systems without SIL rating

In systems without a SIL rating, any controller, display unit or diagnostic tester with an input for a stand-
ard 4-20 mA signal can be connected.
To ensure proper use in all applications, please also read the Installation & Operating Manuals
for the system components used.
■ Y ou can find the latest Installation & Operating Manuals for other system components on our
website:
http://www.gestra.com/documents/brochures.html
Improper use
There is a danger of death due to explosion if the equipment is used in potentially explo-
sive atmospheres.
Do not use the equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Do not bring any equipment into service that does not have its own specific name plate.
The name plate indicates the technical features of the equipment.

Basic safety notes
Danger to life from scalding if the level electrode is removed under pressure. Steam or
hot water can spurt forcefully out of the equipment.
■ Only remove the level electrode at 0 bar boiler pressure.
Risk of severe burns if work is performed on a level electrode that has not been allowed
to cool. The level electrode becomes very hot during operation.
■ Always allow the level electrode to cool.
■ Perform all installation and maintenance work only on a level electrode that has been
allowed to cool.
There is a risk of electric shock during work on electrical systems.

■ Always switch off the voltage to the plant before performing connection work.
■ Check that the system is not carrying live voltage before commencing work.
Danger to life from a faulty NRGT 26-2 or NRGT 26-2s level electrode due to the sudden
escape of hot steam or hot water.
Shocks and impacts during transport or installation can result in damage to or leaks in the level
electrode, causing pressurised hot steam or hot water to escape through the pressure relief
hole.
■ To prevent damage during transport and installation, do not expose the electrode
rod to major shocks or impacts.
■ Before and after installation, check that the level electrode is completely undamaged.
■ Check that the level electrode is tight when bringing into service.
Attempts to repair the equipment will cause the plant to become unsafe.
■ NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level electrodes may only be repaired by the manufacturer,
GESTRA AG.
■ Only replace faulty equipment with identical equipment from GESTRA AG.

Notes on product liability
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damages resulting from improper use of the equipment.

Functional safety, safety integrity level (SIL)
NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters have a secure 4-20 mA actual value output (SIL 2). If an
electronic control unit (diagnostic tester) that also has a SIL 2 rating is connected to the 4-20 mA output,
the entire event chain system can be operated at this safety integrity level.
When combined with the accessories, you will have a type B subsystem. The technical and safety charac-
teristics in Fig. 2 below are based solely on NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters.
Check the secure current output regularly

Check level electrode function at least once a year by bringing the system to the minimum and/or maxi-
mum water level (T1 = 1 year).
The test function is initiated on site using the rotary knob integrated in the terminal box, see page 45.

Function
NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters use the capacitance measurement principle and convert level
data into a level-dependent 4-20 mA current signal. The 0 - 100 % measuring range can be scaled based
on the effective length of the electrode rod.
Automatic self-test
An automatic self-test periodically monitors the safety and function of the level transmitters and meas-
ured value acquisition.
Faults in the electrical connection or electronic measuring equipment trigger an error message on the
display, and the current output is set to 0 mA.
Transmitter function
The transmitter function is the ability of the electrode to provide a scalable measuring range on the
4-20 mA current output interface and to make this available to one or more recipients for analysis.
Conductivity transmitters do not have any controlling or limiting functions.
The level transmitters are installed on the inside of pressurised steam plants, tanks or feed lines of pres-
surised hot-water plants. A protective tube provided on site keeps it functioning reliably (see page 30
“Installation examples”).
A capacitive NRGT 26-2 or NRGT 26-2s level transmitter and a conductive NRG 1x-60 or NRG 1x-61 level
electrode can be installed in the same protective tube or level pot.
Operation in external level pots

If a level transmitter is installed outside the boiler in a level pot that can be shut off, the connecting pipes
must be flushed regularly.
If the steam pipe is ≥ 40 mm and the water pipe is ≥ 100 mm, installation is regarded as internal. In this
case, upstream monitoring of flushing processes is not required.
Display and signals, see page 43 / 46 *

NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters feature a green 4-digit, 7-segment display for showing
readings, status information and fault codes. A red and green LED indicate the operating status.

Function
Behaviour when switched on *

The display alternately shows the software version, the type and then the scaled level reading.
Behaviour in normal operation (no faults) *

The display shows the scaled level reading (3 digits + 1 decimal place), e.g. 050.3, and converts the level
data into a level-dependent current signal from 4-20 mA.
The scale of the 0 – 100 % measuring range is factory-set at a maximum for the electrode
length used. This way, meaningful level readings can be obtained immediately after installation.
Adjusting the measuring range when bringing into service (CAL.L, CAL.P or CAL.H)
When bringing into service, however, the measuring range should be adapted in line with your sight glass.
Do this using the parameters CAL.L, CAL.P or CAL.H, see page 40 - 41. This is the only way to gain
all the benefits of high-resolution readings in the sight glass range.
Behaviour in the event of malfunctions *

The error state or malfunction is permanently shown on the display by a fault code, e.g. E.005. For more
on fault codes, see page 47.
Every time there is a fault, 0 mA is output via the current output.
Electrode faults cannot be acknowledged.

When the fault is corrected, the message disappears from the display, and the NRGT 26-2 or
NRGT 26-2s level transmitter returns to normal operation.
* The tables on pages 44 - 45 clearly show the relationship between the equipment
status, the display and the status LEDS.
Setting parameters and changing factory settings

If necessary, you can adapt the electrode parameters to suit conditions at the plant. You can set parame-
ters and change factory settings using a rotary knob on the terminal box, see page 39 ff.

Bringing into service
■ Before bringing into service, check that the level transmitter is correctly connected.
■ Next, switch on the supply voltage.
Changing the factory settings if necessary
You will need the following tools

■ Slotted screwdriver, size 2.5
Notes for bringing into service for the first time
During commissioning, the scaling of the measurement range 0 – 100 % is set ex-works at a
maximum for the corresponding electrode length.
After installation, set the measurement range to effective, system-specific values.

Selecting and setting a parameter:

1. Using the screwdriver, turn the rotary knob clockwise or anti-clockwise until the
- + desired parameter appears on the display. The set value is displayed after
approx. 3 seconds.
The display alternates between the set parameter and its actual value,
e.g. Filt. “value” Filt.
The following parameters are shown one after the other when you turn the
knob clockwise:
“Actual value” °C.in CAL.L CAL.P CAL.H Filt diSP
“Actual value”
Key to parameters, see page 40.
If you do not enter anything for 30 seconds, the display automatically returns
to the actual value.
2. Once you have selected a parameter, press and hold the rotary knob until the current

- + value of this parameter flashes on the display.
3. Set the desired value.

- + Reducing/increasing the value
Each parameter has an individual, admissible value range.
By pressing the knob briefly, you can jump to the next digit. This is a more convenient
way of making large changes to values.
If you do not set a parameter within 10 seconds, the process is aborted (“quit”) and
the old parameter value is retained.
4. Save your settings by pressing the rotary knob for approx. 1 second.
- +
The message “donE” is shown and the parameter appears on the display once more.

Key to parameters:
■ 099.9 = actual value display, the current measured level based on the 0 - 100 % calibration
■ °C.in = display ambient temperature of terminal box
■ CAL.L = lower limit calibration to 0 %
■ CAL.P = calibrates measuring range to an intermediate value above 25 % (alternative to CAL.H)
■ CAL.H = upper limit calibration to 100 %
■ Filt = filter constant
■ diSP = initiate a display test
Notes on calibration
Always perform calibration with the boiler fluid at the operating point
If you set the measuring range while the fluid is cold, the settings will change when subject to
heat and will then need to be corrected at the operating point.
Calibration to the lower limit of the active measuring range “CAL.L” (0 % calibration value)
Bring the level to 0 % and perform calibration.
Pay attention to the setting instructions on page 39 and proceed as follows:

1. Reduce the level of water in the boiler to the 0 % limit of the desired measuring range.
2. Select the parameter “CAL.L”, the old value will appear in hexidecimal display after
approx. 3 seconds.
3. Press and hold the rotary knob until the new value is displayed.
4. Save your setting by pressing the rotary knob for approx. 1 second.
5. Continue with calibration “CAL.P” or “CAL.H”.

Independent rapid calibration at a water level of > 25 % of the active measuring range “CAL.P”
This parameter enables partial filling of the boiler, as an alternative to complete filling. The
value set for partial filling is extrapolated to 100 % of the boiler level.

1. Increase the level of water in the boiler to > 25 % of the desired measuring range.
2. Select the parameter “CAL.P”. After approx. 3 seconds, the old value is shown
as a hexadecimal display.
3. Press and hold the rotary knob until the value (e.g. 0025) appears. The last digit flashes.
4. Set the desired reading > 25 % to match the set level.
Calibration to the upper limit of the active measuring range “CAL.H” (100 % calibration value)
Calibration with “CAL.H” ensures the best possible accuracy for setting the measuring range.

1. Raise the water level in the boiler to the 100 % limit of the required measurement range.
2. Select the parameter “CAL.H”. After approx. 3 seconds, the old value is shown
as a hexadecimal display.
3. Press and hold the rotary knob until the new value is displayed.
Setting the filter constant “Filt”
Here, you can set a time constant to smooth the output signal for the level controller and the
display.

1. Select the parameter “Filt”. First of all, the current filter constant is displayed.
2. Press and hold the rotary knob until the current time constant flashes on the display.
3. Set the desired time constant (1 to 30 seconds).

Manually initiating a display test

1. Select the parameter “diSP”.
2. Press and hold the rotary knob until the display test starts and shows “....”.
3. The following numbers and decimal points run across the display from right to left:
“...., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ....”
4. Check that all numbers and decimal points are displayed correctly.
The display test runs automatically until it has finished, and cannot be interrupted.
5. The display test ends with “donE”.
Replacing faulty equipment

Faulty equipment is a danger to system safety.
■ If numbers or decimal points are displayed incorrectly or not at all, you must replace the
level transmitter with an identical one from GESTRA AG.
Checking the level display by raising or reducing the level

Incorrectly installed or bent level electrodes result in a loss of function that can jeopard-
ise plant safety.
Therefore, proceed as follows when bringing into service and when replacing level
electrodes:
■ Check the level display by raising and lowering the fluid to different levels within the meas-
uring range of the level electrode. Always perform this check with the plant at its operating
point.
■ Never start up any plant that has not passed the above tests.
■ NRGT 26-2 and NRGT 26-2s level transmitters may only be repaired by the manufacturer,
GESTRA AG.
■ Only replace a faulty device with an identical device from GESTRA AG.
Checking the safety function by initiating a test function

Check the safety function by initiating the test function with the rotary knob,
