R1C Steam Trap Failure Monitor
Description The R1C steam trap failure monitor will monitor the performance of a single steam trap when used in conjunction with a Spiratec sensor chamber and sensor or a steam trap with integral sensor. It will indicate whether a trap is operating correctly, passing live steam or has failed closed by means of coloured trap status lights on the unit. Analogue and digital outputs allow it to be connected directly to BEMS/EMS to indicate steam trap status remotely. System components To detect a steam trap that is leaking steam, a standard SS1 Spiratec sensor is installed in a sensor chamber or steam trap. To detect a steam trap that is leaking steam or is waterlogged, a WLS1 Spiratec waterlogging sensor assembly is installed in a sensor chamber or steam trap. R1C system installation The R1C must be installed in a steel conduit system within 10 m (32.8 ft) of the Spiratec sensor. Connections The R1C enclosure is a circular conduit box with M20 threaded entry holes. To maintain resistance to moisture, use a suitable cable gland between the R1C and the Spiratec sensor (Type SS1 or WLS1). If the cable to the BEMS/EMS passes through a conduit, make sure that the threaded connection to the R1C is water-tight to maintain the IP65 enclosure rating. Details of electrical connection are supplied with the product.
