SENSORS FOR FOOD AND BIOPHARMA.

50062 / 3.4 / 2021-09-20 / MU / EU

Product Information NVS-50, -110, -120, -345 FOOD

Conductive Multilevel Sensor

Application/intended use NVS-345/...B NVS-50/...N
· Point level measurement in aqueous, conductive media in tanks and pipes with
minimum conductivity. The conductivity depends on the evaluation device:
1 μS/cm when using external evaluation units, e.g. VNV series or ZNV-Z, and
10 μS/cm when using the internal level transmitter MNV-1C.

Application examples
· Empty/full indication in tanks
· Level control in tanks
· Overfill protection in dosing systems

Hygienic design/process connection (NVS-345 and NVS-50 only)

· Hygienic and easy-to-sterilize measuring point
· Elastomer-free sealing system for gap-free sensor installation without
dead space
· CIP/SIP cleaning up to 143 °C/120 min
· Sensor made entirely of stainless steel and PEEK; PFA coating
· Adapters for all standard process connections
· Product-contacting parts are compliant with EU Regulation 10/2011 and FDA
(NVS-345 and NVS-50)
NVS-120/...B NVS-110.SEIL/...

Special features/advantages
· Defined position of the cable entry (NVS-345 only)
· Available with or without an integrated level transmitter MNV-1C
· Choice of different electrical connections
· Electrodes can be shortened and bent as required

Options/accessories
· Version with rope electrodes available (NVS-110.SEIL)

Selection of the right sensor type

Coating:
For foamy, adhesive (e.g. yogurt) and/or wetting media (e.g. alkaline solutions),
we suggest using a sensor with a coated electrode. Sensors with an uncoated
electrode are recommended for aqueous, non-adhesive and non-wetting
media. If rod lengths are greater than 500 mm, the coated version should be
used since the electrodes may come into contact with each other and lead to
incorrect readings.

Setting up level transmitter MNV-1C

· Connect the supply voltage.

· Set the switching function. See the adjacent configuration description.
· Set the lowest sensitivity. See the adjacent configuration description.
· Wet the sensor with the least conductive medium.
· If the output switches, the selected sensitivity can be retained and the calibration is finished. If the output does not
switch, please continue as follows:
· Increase the sensitivity until the output switches. Once this happens, calibration is finished.

General setup procedure

· If necessary, cut the electrodes to the required lengths. In doing so, ensure that the compound between the rod and the
thread connector is not strained excessively. If using coated electrodes, do not damage the insulation of the rod part
that remains on the sensor.
· Strip 5 mm of insulation off the tip of insulated rods.
· Screw the sensor into the sleeve and connect as shown in the wiring diagram. Do not damage the coating when insert-
ing the sensor into the sleeve.

5 Notes FOOD

Note on material conformity as per European Regulation 1935/2004 or 10/2011

· The plastics used in the NVS-345 and NVS-50 sensors are materials approved by European Regulations 1935/2004
and 10/2011 for contact with food.
· The materials of the NVS-110, NVS-110.SEIL and NVS-120 sensors are not in accordance with the European regulations
specified above.

Mounting instructions

· When installing the NVS-345, only use Negele weld-in systems to ensure proper functioning of the measuring point.
· When screwing in the sensors, do not exceed the maximum permissible torque (see the technical data on page 2).
· If the tank wall is being used as the reference electrode (only possible with NVS-345 and NVS-50), ensure that the sen-
sor process connection makes good electrical contact with the pipe and tank wall. Do not use insulating sealants such
as Teflon. The tank wall must be made of metal in this case.
· When installing the sensors, ensure that the electrode emerges from the medium when it is drained.
· When tightening and loosening the sensor, only use the wrench flats provided this purpose, never the connecting
head.

Cleaning/Maintenance Transport/Storage

· When using a pressure washer, do not point the nozzle · No outdoor storage
directly at the electrical connections. · Store in an area that is dry and dust-free
· Do not expose to corrosive media
· Protect against solar radiation
· Avoid mechanical shock and vibration
Reshipment · Storage temperature 0...40 °C
· Relative humidity max. 80%
· Sensors and process connection must be clean and must
not be contaminated with hazardous media and/or heat-
conductive paste. Note the cleaning information!
· To avoid damage of the equipment, use suitable trans- Standards and guidelines

· Compliance with the applicable regulations and direc-
tives is mandatory.

Accessories

Instead of the integrated level transmitter, standard multilevel sensors can also be used with external devices for
installation on DIN rails, for example. The full selection of external evaluation units, the technical data and the order
code can be found in the „Evaluation units for conductive multilevel sensors“ product information.
