Introduction
HBLC is an intelligent sensor with a built-in microprocessor. It is designed to control refrigerant levels in both low pressure and high pressure systems. It emits a 4-20 mA signal, which is proportional to the sensor's set range of measurement.
Apart from the 4-20 mA signal, the sensor also has a built-in controller.
The controller can be set-up with all the parameters necessary for controlling a modulating motor valve or stepper motor.
The sensor can be delivered with a cable for direct supply to and control of motor valve or stepper motor valve.
Technical details
- Stand alone solution together with modulating valve. Flexible and cost effective alternative to float switches.
- Simple installation and configurering with PC. The regulation loop, timer and alarm are all programmable.
- LED indication of power supply, alarm and regualtion status. Further an alarm status can be given to central panel.
- Split design which make it possible to make easy installation and diagnostic. The electronic part can be easily disconnected by 2 screws.
- The sensor can control modulating valve, pilot valve or stepper motor valve.
