2 Safety instructions

• Please read the product description prior to set-up of the unit. Ensure that the

product is suitable for your application without any restrictions.

• If the operating instructions or the technical data are not adhered to, personal

injury and/or damage to property can occur.

• Installation, electrical connection, set-up, operation and maintenance of the

unit must only be carried out by qualified personnel authorised by the machine

operator.

• The unit conforms to the standard EN 61000-6-4. The unit may cause radio

interference in domestic areas. If interference occur, the user must take ap-

propriate remedial actions.

3 Functions and features

The unit monitors the level of liquids in tanks.

3.1 Application area

• Water, hydrous media, oils, coolant emulsions.

3.2 Restriction of the application area

• The unit is not suitable for acids, alkalis, granulates, bulk materials.

• It is not suitable for hygienic areas.

• Highly conductive foam can trigger a switching operation. Check the conse-

quences by performing a test in your application!

• For water and hydrous media with temperatures > 35° C install the unit in a

climatic tube (order no. E43100 ... E43103).

• Maximum tank pressure: ±0.5 bar (when mounted using the appropriate mount-

ingaccessories;→chapter5.2Installationprocedure).

4 Function

4.1 Measuring principle

The unit operates to the capacitive measuring principle. By direct contact with the

medium the unit detects whether the requested level (limit level) is reached and

indicates this by a switched signal.

The dielectric constant of a medium is important for its detection. Media with a

dielectric constant > 1.8 are safely detected.

Dielectric constants of common liquids

mineral oil ≈2

coolant emulsion ≈25...75

glycol ≈37

water ≈80

water, demineralised ≈30

Electrically conductive and non conductive media are detected.

The unit operates with radial detection

characteristics. Therefore media below

the active zone are not detected.

Despite different electrical properties

media are only detected when the

active zone (A) is covered.



4.2 Features of the unit

• NOorNCfunctioncanbesetbyprogrammingbuttons(→chapter8Settings)

- NO function: output closed when the level has been reached / output open

when the level has not been reached.

- NC function: output open when the level has been reached / output closed

when the level has not been reached.

• Automatic adjustment function to the medium to be detected by programming

buttons(→chapter8Settings).Thisallowsreliabledetectionofmediawitha

low dielectric constant (e.g. oil).

• Levelselectablebytheinstallationlength(→5.3).

• The unit is virtually immune to build-up on the probe of almost any kind. The

position of the switching level within the active zone can however change with

build-up.

• Operating and switching status indication via LED ring.

4.3 Application examples

1 2 3

1: Overflow protection in a supply tank for coolant emulsion.

2: Leakage monitoring in the overflow vessel of a hydraulic power pack.

3: Minimum level monitoring

5 Installation

5.1 Installation location / environment

• Verticalinstallationfromthetopispreferred(→5.3).

• The following minimum distances must be adhered to:

Distance tank bottom - end of the probe: 10 mm.

Distance metal tank wall - probe: 20 mm.

In small plastic tanks: mount the unit in the middle of the tank, where possible.

Distance between several LI51 units: depending on medium and application.

Guide values for standard applications (distance from the centre of a probe to the

centre of another probe):

- Water / coolant emulsion in a grounded metal tank: 40 mm.

- Oils in a grounded metal tank: 100 mm.

- Water, aqueous media and oils in an ungrounded plastic tank: 200 mm.

Depending on the application greater distances can be required. Please check this by

a function test under real operating conditions.

Distance between LI51xx and LKxxxx units: min. 60 mm from the centre of a probe to

the centre of another probe.

5.2. Installation procedure

The unit is mounted using a mounting clamp or an adapter. The following standard

mounting accessories are available:

Order no.

SH = height of the connection piece

L = probe length

L1 = installation length

L2 = extension length

L3 = mounting length (at least 60 mm)

MET = maximum installation depth (= active zone; 31 mm)

►Select the installation length L1 so that at least half the MET zone is covered

when the response level A has been reached, that is:

L1 = (H - A) + ½ MET + SH.

The unit switches when the level reaches the MET zone. The exact position

(exact response level) depends on the following factors:

• characteristics of the medium.

• installation conditions.

• adjustmentoftheunit(→chapter8Settings).

6 Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician.

The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical

equipment must be adhered to.

Voltage supply to EN 50178, SELV, PELV.

►Disconnect power.

1: LED ring green / yellow

•green: operation display

•yellow: switching status indication

2: programming button OUT OFF

3: programming button OUT ON

8 Settings

Before the first set-up the basic teach empty state must be carried out.

8.1 Carry out the basic teach empty state

The basic teach empty state sets the unit to the empty tank and the installation

conditions (e.g. the set installation length). Previous settings are deleted.

►Empty the tank until the medium is at least 20 mm below the end of the probe.

►Press [OUT OFF], keep it pressed for min. 2 s / max. 6 s.

> The yellow LED flashes slowly. When the button is released, it goes out.

The unit is then ready for operation and set as NO unit (output ON when the

level has been reached).

If the unit is to be set as NC unit:

►After emptying the tank press [OUT ON] instead of [OUT OFF]. After releasing

the pushbutton, the yellow LED lights continuously.

8.2 Carry out the basic teach full state

The empty adjustment is sufficient for media with a low dielectric constant (e.g.

oils). For aqueous media the sensitivity must be optimised by a full adjustment.

The full adjustment does not change the settings of the empty adjustment.

►Fill the tank until the active zone of the unit is covered.

> IftheunitissetasNOunit(→8.1),theyellowLEDlights,ifitissetasNCunit,

it goes out.

►If the unit is set as NO unit: press [OUT ON] and keep it pressed for at least

6 s.

> The yellow LED flashes slowly, after 6 s it flashes quickly. After releasing the

pushbutton, it lights continuously.

If the unit is set as NC unit: After filling the tank press [OUT OFF] instead of

[OUT ON]. After releasing the pushbutton, the yellow LED goes out.
