SITRANS LVS100 Vibrating Level Switch

The standard LVS 100 Vibrating Level Switch detects high, low or demand levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos, or hoppers. It has a compact design and can be top, side or angle mounted. The vibrating fork design ensures the tines are kept clean. The unique design of the fork and crystal assembly eliminates false high-level readings even if tines become damaged.

A signal from the electronic circuit excites a crystal in the probe causing the fork to vibrate. If the fork is covered by material, the change in vibration is detected by the electronic circuitry which causes the relay to change state after a one second delay. When the fork is free from material pressure, full vibration resumes, and the relay reverts to its normal condition.

 Features of the Vibrating Level Switch LVS 100 include:

• ​ High resistance to mechanical forces
• Strong resistance to external vibrations
• Rotatable enclosure for ease of installation and wiring
• Suitable for point level detection of materials starting at a bulk density of 60 g/l (3.8 lb/ft³)
• Customer desired extensions up to 2000 mm (8″)
• Durable short fork option starting at 170 mm (6.7″) insertion length.

The Sitrans LVS 100 is suitable for applications such as dry bulk solids in bins, silos or hoppers.
