1.0 General
information/
Introduction

This specification guide covers the general requirements for design,

manufacturing and installation of low voltage measuring and
monitoring relays for controlling liquid levels.

2.0 Product features/

product functions

The device shall be designed for monitoring levels of conductive

liquids and fluids and shall be able to be used for controlling pump
systems for dry-running.
The measuring principle should be based on the occurring resistance
change when moisting single-pole electrodes. There should be a
connection possibility of 2 electrodes C and MIN.
When the supply voltage is applied to the terminals A1-A2 and the
electrodes are wet, the output relay of the CM-ENE-MIN is energized.
When the electrodes of the CM-ENE-MIN are no longer wet, the
output relay de-energizes.
The device shall be provided with a LED indication for the relay status
(preferably yellow colored).
The liquid level relay shall be ABB type CM-ENE-MIN or preapproved equal.

3.0 Conformance/
standards

The liquid level relay shall be designed, manufactured and tested

in accordance with the latest editions of applicable IEC standards.
Product standard:
Electromagnetic compatibility:
ESD
HF radiation resistance
Burst
Surge
HF line emission
Isolation:
Rated voltage
Rated impulse withstand voltage
Pollution category
Overvoltage category

enclosure, possible to be mounted on DIN rail according to
EN 50022. The connection terminals should be able to accept
stranded wires in the size of 2 x 1.5 mm2 (2 x 16 AWG) with wire end
ferrule. The enclosure should have a protection degree of IP50 and
the terminals should have a protection degree of IP20. The mounting
position of the device in a cabinet should not be limited. According to
IEC 68-2-6 the product should have a mechanical shock resistance
of 10 g and a resistance to vibration of 6 g.

7.0 Quality
requirements

The vendor shall be certified in accordance to ISO 9001 (quality

management system) and ISO 14001 (environmental certification).
A complete environmental product declaration (EPD) shall be
available upon request. The EPD shall describe the material
used for the liquid level relay, energy consumption, losses, etc.
The product shall be functionally tested prior to shipment to assure
proper operation per specification.

8.0 Documentation

The device shall be shipped with an operation and instruction sheet

including functional diagrams, connection diagrams and set up
information.

9.0 Startup

Startup procedures shall be intuitive and simple enough so as not to

require factory assistance or training.

10.0 Accessories

As accessory a sealable transparent cover, a panel mounting adaptor

and the adequate electrodes shall be available.
