Nohken OLV-2P Liquid Level Sensor User Manual

1. Киришүү

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the Nohken OLV-2P Liquid Level Sensor. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product to ensure safe and efficient operation. Keep this manual for future reference.

2. Продукт бүтүп калдыview

The Nohken OLV-2P is a reliable liquid level sensor designed for various applications. It operates using a Reed contact installed within its axis and a permanent magnet located in the float. The sensor activates its contact when the liquid level rises or falls, and its switching state (normally open or normally closed) is determined by the direction of installation.

Key features of the OLV-2P sensor include:

• Good resistance to oils and acids, making it suitable for a wide range of media including acids, oils, gasoline, and water.
• High switching power, capable of handling up to 0.5 A and up to 10 million switching cycles.
• Can be switched without an intermediate relay.
• Maximum temperature load specified at 90 °C.

Typical areas of application include small containers of all types, coffee machines, aquariums, control of small filters, pumps, and photocopiers.

3. Коопсуздук маалыматы

Травматизмди же буюмга зыян келтирбөө үчүн ар дайым төмөнкү коопсуздук чараларын сактаңыз:

• Орнотуудан, техникалык тейлөөдөн же мүчүлүштүктөрдү оңдоодон мурун электр кубатынан ажыратылганын текшериңиз.
• Көрсөтүлгөн максималдуу көлөмдөн ашпаңызtage (300 Volts) or current (0.5 A).
• Do not expose the sensor to temperatures exceeding 90 °C.
• Verify compatibility with the liquid media before installation.
• Installation should be performed by qualified personnel if electrical wiring is involved.

4. Орнотуу жана орнотуу

The Nohken OLV-2P sensor is designed for straightforward installation. The key aspect of installation is determining the desired switching state (normally open or normally closed) by the sensor's orientation.

4.1 Кутудан чыгаруу жана текшерүү

Upon receiving your OLV-2P sensor, carefully open the packaging and inspect the unit for any signs of damage. Ensure all components are present.

4.2 Сенсорду орнотуу

The sensor is typically mounted through a threaded opening in the wall or top of a container. The float should be positioned to move freely with the liquid level.

4.3 Determining Switching State

The OLV-2P sensor's switching behavior (whether it acts as a normally open or normally closed contact) is determined by its installation orientation. Experiment with the sensor's position (e.g., float up or float down when liquid is present/absent) to achieve the desired switching logic for your application.

4.4 Электрдик туташуу

Connect the sensor's wires to your control circuit. Ensure the voltage and current ratings of your circuit are within the sensor's specifications (max 300V, 0.5A). The sensor can be directly integrated without an intermediate relay if the load is within its switching capacity.

5. Иштөө нускамалары

Once installed and connected, the Nohken OLV-2P sensor operates automatically. The float will rise or fall with the liquid level. As the float moves, the permanent magnet inside it will interact with the Reed contact within the sensor's axis, causing the contact to open or close. This change in contact state can then be used to trigger alarms, control pumps, or activate other devices in your system.

No user intervention is required during normal operation, provided the sensor is correctly installed and the liquid properties are within its specified limits.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

The Nohken OLV-2P sensor is designed for low maintenance. However, periodic inspection and cleaning are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

6.1 Тазалоо

If the sensor is used in media that can leave residue, periodically remove the sensor and gently clean the float and stem with a soft cloth. For stubborn deposits, use a cleaning agent compatible with the sensor's materials and the liquid being monitored. Ensure the sensor is completely dry before reinstallation.

6.2 Текшерүү

Regularly inspect the sensor for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or wear on the float or wiring. Check that the float moves freely along the stem. If any damage is observed, replace the sensor.
