SITRANS LVS300 is a vibrating rod point level switch for high, low, or demand level detection of bulk solids.
Suitable for highly demanding conditions, such as heavy dry bulk solids.
- Easy set-up with no calibration necessary and a rotatable enclosure
- Flexible customer supplied rods up to 4 m for ease of maintenance
- High resistance to mechanical forces
- Suitable for point level detection of light bulk materials starting from 20g/l (1.2 lb/ft³)
- Adjustable sensitivity for varied applications
- Extension and process connection in stainless steel with high surface quality
- Process connection from 1” for installation flexibility
Key Features
- High resistance to mechanical forces.
- Adjustable sensitivity for varied applications including build-up.
- Rotatable enclosure for convenient wiring.
- Suitable for low density material: standard version, 20 g/l (1.3 lb/ft3).
- Customer desired extensions up to 4 000 mm (157 inch).
- 160 mm (6.3 inch) insertion length.
- Flexible, customer supplied, rods to 4 meters.
- Process connections starting at 1 inch.
Application
The standard LVS300 detects high, low, or demand levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos, or hoppers.
A pipe extension version is available, separated by a customer supplied 1 inch pipe.
The LVS300 has a compact design and can be top, side or angle mounted. The vibrating rod design ensures the product will not be impacted by bridging of traditional forks in applications with buildup potential. A durable probe design ensures the product will withstand heavier materials without damage or bending.
A signal from the electronic circuit excites a crystal in the probe causing the rod to vibrate. If the rod is covered by material, the change in vibration is detected by the electronic circuitry which causes the output to change state after a one second delay. When the probe is free from material, full vibration resumes and the relay reverts to its normal condition.
- Key Applications: dry or bulk solids with buildup potential, in bins, silos, or hoppers, such as lime, molding sand, milk powder, flour, salt, and plastic granules.
