Type 72.01
U = 24VDC

(230…240)VAC 50/60Hz
Type 72.11
E = Emptying
Level
Emptying Control - between Max. 
and Min. levels.
Under normal operation the liquid 
level can be expected to cycle 
between the Maximum and the 
Minimum electrodes, B1 and B2 (plus 
a degree of over and under-shoot).
Switch On:
• On “power-up”, if the liquid level 
is above B2 the output relay will 
operate after time T has expired.
• On the liquid level rising to B1, the 
output relay will operate after time T 
has expired.
Switch Off:
• On the liquid level falling below 
electrode B2, the output relay will 
de-energise after time T has expired.
• On “power-off”, the output relay 
will immediately de-energise.

Type 72.11
E = Emptying
Level
Emptying Control about a single 
level, B1.
Under normal operation the liquid 
level can be expected to cycle about 
the level set by electrode B1 with a 
degree of over and under-shoot.
Switch On:
• On “power-up”, if the liquid is 
above B1 the output relay will 
operate after time T has expired.
• On the liquid level rising to B1, the 
output relay will operate after time T 
has expired.
Switch Off:
• On the liquid level falling below 
electrode B1, the output relay will 
de-energise after time T has expired.
• On “power-off”, the output relay 
will immediately de-energ
Applications for 72.01 and 72.11
FILLING function:
Examples with 3 electrodes and with a contactor 
connected to the contact.
EMPTYING function:
Examples with 3 electrodes and with a motor 
pump connected directly to the contact.
The 72 series level control relays work by 
measuring the resistance through the liquid, 
between the common (B3) electrode and Min. and 
Max. electrodes (B2 and B1). If the tank is metalic, 
then this can be substituted as the B3 electrode.
Take care to ensure that the liquid has a suitable 
resistivity – see below:
