LEVEL CONTROL UNIT FOR CONDUCTIVE LIQUIDS.
(MOUNTABLE ON DIN RAIL WITH OCTAL BASE-8 PIN)
Z8 is a relay for the control of the level of conductive liquids, ideal for wells, tanks, reservoirs (even under pressure)… including applications with rainwater. It uses electrodes called “probes,” powered at low voltage, which, upon contact with the liquid, allow the detection of current passage and activate the relay. All with very rapid response times. The solution makes it possible to monitor the level in two ways: with two probes for a single level (MAX and COM) or with three probes for a range between a minimum and a maximum (MIN, MAX, and COM).
Z8 is ideal for narrow and deep spaces since the probes do not require mechanical movements, and the cables for the probes have low load losses even at long distances. In addition, the probes are appropriately insensitive to the typical humidity of wells and tanks. Z8 has a compact design for easy installation even in limited spaces (79x35x88 mm – 2 DIN modules) and is available in different sensitivities (NS, AS, SR) and in different power supply voltages such as 24/117/230Vac.
Z8 differs from Z11 in that it manages only one voltage, as well as the type of compatible base.
Designed for
Applications
Z8 is mainly applied in the following contexts:
- Tanks and containers (even under pressure): Monitoring and management of the water level/s in storage tanks.
- Basins: Monitoring the water level in basins or ponds.
- Wells: Monitoring and control of the water level/s in wells.
- Rainwater Accumulation: Monitoring and control of the water level/s in rainwater accumulations.
Features
- Adaptability: Z8 is suitable for tight and deep spaces thanks to its compact design and the fact that the probes don’t require mechanical movements.
- Various Sensitivity Options: Z8 is available in different sensitivity options: normal, high for low conductivity liquids like rainwater, and adjustable.
- Power Variants: Z8 is available in versions designed for various supply voltages, including 24Vac, 117Vac, and 230Vac.
- Compact Design: With dimensions of 79x35x88 mm (2 DIN modules), Z8 has a compact design that makes installation easy even in limited spaces.
- Quick Response: Z8 offers a rapid response with a response time of 100 ms, ensuring timely liquid level control.
- Broad Uses: Z8 finds application in a variety of contexts, including tanks, basins, wells, and rainwater accumulations.
- Wiring Distance: The NS version offers a maximum distance between the probe and relay of up to 1000 meters.
- Light Indicator: Z8 features a light indicator of its status, simplifying the visual check of operation.
