Countermeasures Against Noise Noise Canceller Function for Highly Sensitive Impedance Detection Connected with 3-conductor Cable that Offsets Inductive Noise (Patent Pending) The K7L Liquid Leakage Sensor Amplifier detects liquids with impedance as high as 50 M and connects to the Sensing Band through a cable that can be extended up to 50 meters. Countermeasures against external noise are especially important for the Sensing Band and connecting cable because they pick up external noise like an antenna. The K7L incorporates the noise canceller function described below. A VCT cable with three conductors (lines) is used. Line 1 is connected to the Sensing Band and line 2 is left open. Lines 1 and 2 are almost in the same position and thus will experience the same noise level. The K7L obtains the difference between these signals. This means that the noise signals in lines 1 and 2 are offset against each other and a reading for the signal, without inductive noise, can be made.

Information: //www.wago.com 6 K7L-AT50@/AT50D@@ Disconnection detection function (K7L-AT50D/AT50DB/AT50DP/AT50DPB only) Operation While Monitoring for Liquid Leakage * Short-wave signals (2.5 VAC, 3.75 Hz) for liquid leakage detection are output from terminal 4 of the K7L. * When there is no liquid leakage, the liquid leakage detection signals that are output are interrupted by the Terminator and the core of the Sensing Band will form an open loop. Signals interrupted by Terminator. K7L 8 3 7 2 K7L 3 7 2 K7L 8 1 Operation at Disconnection Detection * If there is a disconnection, the signals will be interrupted at the place where the disconnection occurred, and will not return to the K7L. * If the signals do not return when the K7L is in disconnection monitoring mode, it will determine that a disconnection has occurred. The output indicator will flash, and the disconnection output will turn ON/OFF depending on the position of the DIP switch (right). Signals are interrupted where the disconnection occurred. 4 5 1 6 3 7 2 4 3 2 8 4 3 2 4 6 4 5 6 2 3 4 * When liquid leakage occurs within the sensing range, the liquid leakage detection signals output from terminal 4 are input to terminal 2 through the leaked liquid. * The voltage of the input signals will vary with the resistance of the leaked liquid. This voltage is compared with the detection level set at the K7L. * If the K7L determines from the comparison results that there is liquid leakage, the liquid leakage output will turn ON or OFF. (The output can be set to NO or NC operation.) The output indicator will turn ON and OFF together with the output. The indicator lights when the output turns ON. 4 3 2 Operation at Liquid Leakage Detection 5 Disconnection detection signals are not interrupted by the Terminator and return to the K7L. 10 VDC max., 200 ms 1 2 3 4 2 * Output of disconnection detection signals starts within 2 s of power being supplied to the K7L and is repeated at 7-s intervals. * Disconnection signals are DC signals of 10 V max. that are output for approximately 200 ms. During this time, the K7L is in disconnection monitoring mode, i.e. it monitors for disconnections only and the liquid leakage detection signals are stopped. * If there is no disconnection, the disconnection detection signals (10 VDC) that are output pass through the Terminator and return to the K7L. The K7L takes this as normal, i.e., there is no disconnection. 2 3 4 3 7 4 3 2 4 5 6 2 3 4 2.5 VAC (3.75 Hz) Operation While Monitoring for Disconnection K7L 8 1 Note: 1. Disconnection detection is only performed between terminals 2 and 4. Therefore, be sure to connect the Sensing Band between terminals 2 and 4. 2. The K7L will switch from liquid leakage detection to disconnection detection if either of the following conditions occur while liquid leakage is detected. 2-1. Disconnection occurs between the K7L and the place where liquid is leaked. 2-2. While liquid leakage is detected, disconnection occurs between the place where liquid is leaked and the Terminator (F03-20T) and, subsequently, the leaked liquid is removed (e.g., wiped up or dried). 3. During disconnection detection, liquid leakage will not be detected. Once disconnection has been detected, reset the power supply to stop disconnection detection. 7 K7L-AT50@/AT50D@@ Dimensions (Unit: mm) Terminal Block * F03-20 Liquid Leakage Sensor Amplifier K7L-AT50/AT50D/AT50DP 29.1 3 12.8 5.8 3 23.1 46 17.5 5x3=15 5.8 2.5 25 3.2 17 3.2 28.8 3.5 Mounting Hole Dimensions Two, M3 230.2 Terminator * F03-20T Liquid Leakage Sensor K7L-AT50B/AT50DB/AT50DPB 24.1 3 18.1 Mounting Hole Dimensions 3 Two, M3 25 3.2 12.8 3.2 46 5.8 12.5 180.2 5.8 28.8 17 3.5 3.5 * The Terminal Block is made of nylon 66.

Use this information when selecting a model. Q A Can one K7L Amplifier be used for detection in more than one place? Yes. By using Terminal Blocks to connect Sensing Bands in parallel, detection can be performed in more than place with only one K7L Amplifier. Q A K7L-AT50 Possible wiring distance for wiring cable. Can a different terminal block (e.g. a commercially available terminal block or a terminal block constructed by the user) be used instead of the one provided? Yes. When using another terminal block, however, be sure to check that all the terminals are mutually isolated, and that there is no danger of ground faults in connecting cables or Sensing Bands. Possible wiring distance for Sensing Band. 50 m max. 10 m max. K7L-AT50 Note: For explosion-proof areas, use F03-20 Liquid Leakage Sensor, which has been certified for intrinsic safety and explosionproof capability. Q Terminal Blocks Note: 1. When wiring, be sure not to exceed the maximum possible wiring distances for both the connecting cable and the Sensing Band. Exceeding these distances may lead to faulty operation. Connect one Sensing Band to each Terminal Block. 2. Not applicable to K7L. A Can the K7L Amplifier detect pure water? Yes. Even pure water, which has a resistance exceeding 10 Mcm, can nearly always be detected if the K7L is used at its maximum sensitivity. This is because impurities are mixed with the water when it is leaked and the resistance drops. K7L-U Impurities in the air 400 m max. Terminal Blocks Impurities on the drain pan K7L-U Q A Note: 1. When wiring, be sure not to exceed the maximum possible wiring distances for both the connecting cable and the Sensing Band. Exceeding these distances may lead to faulty operation. Connect one Sensing Band to each Terminal Block. 2. Not applicable to K7L. Q A Pure water Detection possible if sensing range 3 (0 to 50 M) is selected using the DIP switch. Can the K7L Amplifier detect oil? In most cases, no. Detection may be possible if the oil contains impurities such as metal powder, as is the case with cutting oil and used engine oil. The user should confirm whether the required kind of detection is possible before application. Can the K7L Amplifier be used as a replacement for the 61F-GPN-V50 Water Leakage Detector? Yes. Because the surge withstand capability is different, however, do not use in locations where it will be exposed to impulses and surges, such as outdoor roofs or in pump panels. Also, items such as the power supply voltage and the connection sockets are different. Check these items before application. 11 Liquid Leakage Sensor Amplifiers for Long-distance Wiring K7L-U@/-UD@@ Ultra-miniature Liquid Leakage Sensor Amplifier Enables Longest Liquid Leakage Monitoring Distance in Industry * A lineup of new models compatible with Push-In Plus Terminal Block Sockets is available. * Series of plus common connection compatible products added. * UL listed when used with Push-In Plus Terminal Block Sockets. *1 *1.

Noise Countermeasures (Common) Noise Canceller Function for Highly Sensitive Impedance Detection Connected with 3-conductor Cable that Offsets Inductive Noise (Patent Pending) The K7L-U/UB Liquid Leakage Sensor Amplifier detects liquids with impedance as high as 1 MW and connects to the Sensing Band through a cable that can be extended up to 400 meters. Countermeasures against external noise are especially important for the Sensing Band and connecting cable because they pick up external noise like an antenna. The K7L incorporates the noise canceller function described below. A VCT cable with three conductors (lines) is used as shown in the diagram. Line 1 is connected to the Sensing Band and line 2 is left open. Lines 1 and 2 are almost in the same position and thus will experience the same noise level. The K7L detects the difference between these signals (including noise). This means that the noise signals in lines 1 and 2 are offset against each other and a reading for the signal, without inductive noise, can be made.

During this time, the K7L is in disconnection monitoring mode, i.e. it monitors for disconnections only and the liquid leakage detection signals are stopped. * If there is no disconnection, the disconnection detection signals (10 VDC) that are output pass through the Terminator and return to the K7L. The K7L takes this as normal, i.e., there is no disconnection. K7L 2 6 3 7 2 K7L 8 1 Operation at Disconnection Detection 2 3 4 3 7 4 3 2 4 6 4 5 * When liquid leakage occurs within the sensing range, the liquid leakage detection signals output from terminal 4 are input to terminal 2 through the leaked liquid. * The voltage of the input signals will vary with the resistance of the leaked liquid. This voltage is compared with the detection level set at the K7L. * As a result of the comparison, if the K7L determines that liquid leakage has occurred, the K7L's output LED will light, and the liquid detection output will either turn ON or OFF. 4 3 2 Operation at Liquid Leakage Detection 5 Disconnection detection signals are not interrupted by the Terminator and return to the K7L. 10 VDC max., 200 ms 1 2 3 4 8 * If there is a disconnection, the signals will be interrupted at the place where the disconnection occurred, and will not return to the K7L. * If the signals do not return, it will determine that a disconnection has occurred. The output indicator will flash, and the disconnection output will turn ON/OFF. Signals are interrupted where the disconnection occurred. 1 4 5 6 3 7 2 4 3 2 8 2 3 4 K7L K7L 8 1 Note: 1. Disconnection detection is only performed between terminals 2 and 4. Therefore, be sure to connect the Sensing Band between terminals 2 and 4. 2. The K7L will switch from liquid leakage detection to disconnection detection if either of the following conditions occur while liquid leakage is detected. 2-1. Disconnection occurs between the K7L and the place where liquid is leaked. 2-2. While liquid leakage is detected, disconnection occurs between the place where liquid is leaked and the Terminator (F03-20T) and, subsequently, the leaked liquid is removed (e.g., wiped up or dried). 3. During disconnection detection, liquid leakage will not be detected. Once disconnection has been detected, reset the power supply to stop disconnection detection. Surges Use in conjunction with a 61F-03B/04B Surge Suppressor Unit in environments exposed to surges. Install the Surge Suppressor Unit near the K7L.

Use this information when selecting a model. Q A Can one K7L Amplifier be used for detection in more than one place? Yes. By using Terminal Blocks to connect Sensing Bands in parallel, detection can be performed in more than place with only one K7L Amplifier. Q A Total: 400 m max. Can a different terminal block (e.g. a commercially available terminal block or a terminal block constructed by the user) be used instead of the one provided? Yes. When using another terminal block, however, be sure to check that all the terminals are mutually isolated, and that there is no danger of ground faults in connecting cables or Sensing Bands. Terminal Block K7L-U Q A Note: 1. When wiring, be sure not to exceed the maximum possible wiring distances for both the connecting cable and the Sensing Band. Exceeding these distances may lead to faulty operation. Connect one Sensing Band to each Terminal Block. 2. Not applicable to the K7L. Q A 20 Can the K7L Amplifier be used as a replacement for the 61F-GPN-V50 Water Leakage Detector? Yes. Because the surge withstand capability is different, however, do not use in locations where it will be exposed to impulses and surges, such as outdoor roofs or in pump panels. Also, items such as the power supply voltage and the connection sockets are different. Check these items before application. Can the K7L Amplifier detect pure water? Yes. Even pure water, which has a resistance exceeding 10 MW cm, can nearly always be detected if the K7L is used at its maximum sensitivity. This is because impurities are mixed with the water when it is leaked and the resistance drops. Impurities in the air Pure water Inpurities on the drain pan Q A Can the K7L Amplifier detect oil? No. F03-16PE/-16PT/-15/-16PS Sensing Band/Point Sensor F03-16PE F03-16PT Liquid Leakage Sensing Band Fluoroplastic Sensing Band * SUS316 used for core and polyethylene used for sheath to ensure high * Compared to the F03-16PE (polyethylene), the F03-16PT has higher resistance to both acidic and alkaline liquids. * Sensing Band Stickers that use the same material as the Sensing Band's insulating resin are available in 2 types: adhesive-tape type and screw type. * Detection precision remains constant even with a loopback, thanks to a two- resistance to both high temperatures and chemicals. sided detection design.

When securing the Sensing Band with Stickers, attach the Stickers at intervals of 20 to 30 cm in places where the core is not exposed. Stripping and Connecting Terminals 20 to 30 cm 1. Cut into the Sensing Band approximately 4 to 6 cm in from the end as shown in the diagram below. 2. Strip away approximately the last 9 mm of the sheath to expose the core (SUS line). 3. To connect to the Terminal Block, insert the screwdriver * from the top of the Terminal Block and insert the stripped end of the core from the side. (Refer to Dimensions on page 17.) 4 to 6 cm 9 mm Insert Exposed part of core Secure the Sensing Band as close to a Terminal Block or Terminator as possible. F03-20 Terminal Block Note: Check that the wiring is secure before using the K7L in applications. * You can use a commercially available screwdriver, but we recommend either 1) a 210-350/01 Screwdriver or 2) a 209-132 Operating Tool from Wago. Information: //www.wago.com The F03-20 Terminal Block was designed to maintain continuity between the connecting cable and Sensing Band. The tensile strength after connection to the Sensing Band was not considered. If the Sensing Band may be pulled, use F03-26PES Sensing Band Stickers to secure it. If it is located where people may step on it, attach a commercially available cover to take other measures to ensure that the Sensing Band connected to a Terminal Block is not subjected to external force. Application Examples in Which an F03-16PE Sensing Band Is More Difficult to Pull Free from an F03-20 Terminal Block * Fold the electrode section of the Sensing Band to double the electrode plate thickness and insert it into the Terminal Block. * Attach round crimp terminals on the electrode section of the Sensing Band and connect them to a commercially available terminal block. If required by your application, another method can be used (e.g., installation with suitable connectors). After installation, confirm that a reliable electrical connection has been achieved. Also, when you remove a Sensing Band from an F03-20 Terminal Block, do not pull it with excessive force. Remove it while inserting a screwdriver from the top of the Terminal Block. Sensing Band Sticker Terminal Block or Terminator Note: 1. When using the F03-26PES (adhesive-tape model), be sure to wipe all moisture, oil, and dust from the surface to which the Sticker is to be attached. Failure to do so may result in insufficient adhesion, and the Sticker may peel away from the surface. 2. When using the F03-26PEN (screw model), before installing the Sensing Band, it is necessary to perform stud welding. For details on the pitch of the studs, refer to the information on the dimensions of Sensing Band Stickers. 3. If you connect a Sensor Band with an F03-20 Terminal Block and F03-20T Terminator, secure the Sensing Band with Sensing Stickers near the Terminal Block and Terminator to help adsorb stress, e.g., from something pulling on the Sensing Band. Bending the Sensing Band To change the direction of the Sensing Band, bend the Sensing Band in one or two places where the core is not exposed. Bent in 1 place Bent in 2 places Note: Bend the Sensing Band approximately 4 cm (i.e., twice the distance between places where the core is exposed) away from places where a Sticker is attached. If the Sensing Band is bent at places further away than this, the Sensing Band may come away from the surface. 23 F03-16SF/-16SFC Liquid Leakage Sensing Band F03-16SF/F03-16SFC Liquid Leakage Sensing Band Greater flexibility and superior workability compared with the F03-16PE.
