Important Notes
Danger
When loosening the electrode steam or hot water might escape.
This presents the danger of severe scalding. It is therefore essential not to remove
the electrode unless the boiler pressure is verified to be zero.
The electrode is hot during operation. This presents the danger of severe burns to hands
and arms. Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the
system is cold.
If the internal ceramic insulation breaks, hot steam can escape through the lateral vent
hole on the electrode body. This presents the risk of severe scalding. Do not stay near
the electrode during operation.
Usage for the intended purpose

switch NRS -40 or NRS -40. only as low-water level limiters (low-level alarms).
