Supported Applications
The Omega LVCN-100 Series is a Level Alert Single Sensor Controller (ac) designed to call attention to alarm conditions, specifically for operator alerting on low inventory levels or high alarm states. The series provides an amber lens that distributes high-intensity strobe light in a pattern intended to draw immediate attention to these conditions.
Documented applications include:
- High level or low level alarm/control
- Pump and valve control configurations (series context)
Operating Conditions & Performance
The LVCN-100 Series operates on a supply voltage of 120 or 240 Vac, 50 to 60 Hz. Maximum consumption is rated at 5 watts for the controller and 3 Watts max. for the included flash alarm unit (LVCN-100 only). The electronics are designed for an ambient temperature range of -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158°F).
Performance specifications include:
- Relay Output: Isolated and sealed single pole double throw (SPDT) relay, Form C.
- Contact Rating: Maximum switched current of 10 amps; maximum switching voltage of 120 Vdc or 240 Vac. Note: The family manual cites a contact rating of 250 VAC, 16A for the broader series context.
- Brightness: Greater than 50,000 CP (candela) from the high-intensity lamp lighting element.
- Flash Alarm Frequency: 1 per second with a strobe life of 10M cycles.
The enclosure is rated NEMA 4X (IP65). The controller accepts one level switch as input and provides LED indication for sensor, relay, and power status. A contact delay is configurable from 0 to 60 seconds with selectable NO or NC switching modes.
Configuration Options
The LVCN-100 Series offers specific configurations distinguished by voltage input and the inclusion of a flashing alarm feature. The series supports CE approval variants (LVCN-100-CE) and 220 VAC configuration options.
- Housing Material: Polypropylene (PP), flame retardant, with Polycarbonate components for the flash alarm assembly.
- Mounting & Connections: Features a 3/4" NPT process connection and a single 1/2" NPT conduit entrance. The enclosure includes a 300° swivel base.
- Sensor Compatibility: Accepts one level sensor input. Level track mounting systems may be used with sensors LVU-150, LVC-100, and LVV-110 (sold separately).
- Approvals & Certifications: RoHS compliant; CE compliance includes EN 61326 EMC and EN 61010-1 Safety. Certificate number LR 79326-3 is listed for the series.
Key Product Differences
The LVCN-100 Series includes distinct models based on voltage requirements and alarm features:
- LVCN-100: Level alert single sensor controller configured for 120 Vac.
- LVCN-100-220VAC: Level alert single sensor controller configured for 220 Vac.
The LVCN-100 model includes an optional flashing alarm (Xenon tube, amber color) as standard. The broader family manual notes that the related LVCN-20 Series features a latching relay output and accepts one or two level switches for automatic filling or emptying applications, distinguishing it from the single-input, non-latched configuration of the LVCN-100.
