RLC4 consists in an electronic circuit board, which controls the levels of pump performance. The
following is found on the front of the RLC4 instrument:
1. A bar of 12 LED which indicate the fuel level (each LED is equal to 1/12 of the maximum level);
2. System status indicator LED;
3. A three-position switch for the operating mode selection.
On the back of the instrument:
1. Two jumpers for the selection of the type of maximum level marker contact;
2. DIP switch for the pump starting and stopping levels selection;
3. Two trimmers to adjust the minimum and maximum level of the tank (preset and to be adjusted
only if necessary);
4. Two jumpers to select the type of float (VDO or VEGLIA BORLETTI);
5. A 10-pole connector for its connection and a 500mA safety fuse.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
RLC4 is designed to operate in two modes, which can be selected using the following switches:
An electric signal associated with an electric circuit is received by the float, which controls the level
indicating instrument and activates a relay and three transistor outputs depending on the level.
These outputs supply the following commands:
• Pump starting and stopping (transistor);
• Reserve level (transistor);
• No fuel level (transistor);
• Safety solenoid valve (16A relay).
When the switch is set in the MANUAL position, the pump is started and stops automatically when
the switch is released. A safety device is active, which controls the stoppage of the pump as soon
as the maximum level is reached even if the switch is pressed.
SYMBOLS DESCRIPTION
MAXIMUM LEVEL
PUMP ON
PUMP OFF
THERMAL RELEASE
FUEL RESERVE
NO FUEL
FUEL LEVEL: indicates the level by means of the 12 yellow LED bar.
MAXIMUM LEVEL: indicates the status by means of a red LED; the safety stoppage of the
pump is also performed.
POMP ON: indicates that the pump is working by means of a green LED.
POMP OFF: indicates that the pump is not working by means of a red LED.
THERMAL RELEASE: indicates that the thermal safety device is enabled by means of a red
LED and the pump stops.
FUEL RESERVE: indicates the reserve status by means of a yellow LED.
NO FUEL: indicates no fuel by means of a red LED.
CONNECTIONS
For the power and service supply to the RLC4 module, see the connection diagram in
Fig. 4
PROGRAMMING
Level selection switch: for the related setting, see the performance programming in Fig. 3.
NO/NC maximum level contact selection jumpers: if the system is supplied with the
maximum level contact normally closed, cut the two MAX LEV NC jumpers, on the back of
the RLC4 circuit board, as indicated in Fig. 2.
Floating selection Jumper: see the related setting as in the drawing below:
