Warrick 16M1C00606 Open Circuit
The Warrick 16M1C00606 is a rugged, 120V conductivity level control relay designed for demanding industrial and HVACR environments. This liquid level control utilizes a modular 8-pin octal plug-in design, allowing for rapid field replacement and streamlined panel integration. Engineered for open circuit detection, the 16M1C00606 includes built-in time delay functionality to minimize relay chatter caused by surface turbulence or splashing, ensuring stable load switching even in agitated tanks. This specific unit is factory-set for Direct Acting mode and calibrated at a 26K Ohm sensitivity, making it ideal for standard water applications, condensate management, and cooling tower monitoring. The solid-state design provides high-precision monitoring without the mechanical failures common in traditional float switches, specifically when dealing with 120VAC power supplies and probe-based sensing protocols.
Key Benefits- Precise Level Monitoring: Utilizes advanced conductivity probe technology for single-level service or differential control without moving parts.
- Enhanced Relay Stability: Integrated delay-on-make prevents nuisance tripping and extends the operational life of connected valves and pumps.
- Plug-and-Play Maintenance: The 8-pin octal socket mount facilitates quick swaps by veteran technicians, reducing system downtime.
- 26K Ohm Sensitivity: Optimized for municipal water and typical HVACR condensate, providing a reliable trigger threshold for standard conductive fluids.
- Versatile 120V Operation: Designed to integrate seamlessly with standard control circuits and industrial motor controllers.
How do I test the Warrick 16M1C00606 on the bench?
To verify operation, apply 120V to the supply terminals and use a jumper between the "H" (High) and "G" (Reference) terminals. In direct acting mode, the LED indicator should illuminate and the SPDT contacts should change state after the defined time delay.
Can I use this relay for low-water cut-off applications?
While the 16M1C00606 is a direct acting open circuit board, it is typically used for high-level alarms or pump-down cycles. For low-water safety applications, technicians must verify if the inverse acting logic is required for the specific fail-safe requirements of the burner or boiler circuit.
What wire should be used for the probe connections?
For optimal signal integrity and to prevent under-sensing, use 14 or 16 AWG MTW or THHN copper wire. Ensure the total run length does not exceed the maximum distance specified for the 26K Ohm sensitivity rating.
