Point level measurement - Electro-mechanical switches

SITRANS LVL100

■ Overview ■ Configuration

SITRANS LVL100 is a compact vibrating level switch for use in

liquid applications such as overflow, high, low and demand ap-
plications, as well as pump protection. It is ideal for use in con-

5
fined spaces.

■ Benefits
• Proven vibrating level switch technology for liquids
• Compact insertion length of 40 mm (1.57”) for confined space
applications
• Fault monitoring for corrosion, loss of vibration, or line break to
the piezo drive

■ Application
SITRANS LVL100 is a compact level switch designed for indus-
trial use in all areas of process technology and can be used with
liquids and slurries. With an insertion length of only 40 mm
(1.57“), SITRANS LVL100 can be mounted in small pipes and
confined space applications. It is also virtually unaffected by the
chemical and physical properties of the liquid. The LVL100 can
also be used in difficult conditions including turbulence, air bub-
bles, foam generation, buildup, or strong external vibration.
The tuning fork is piezoelectrically energized and vibrates at its
mechanical resonance frequency of approximately 1200 Hz.
The vibration frequency changes when the tuning fork is cov-
ered by the medium. This change is detected by the integrated
oscillator and converted into a switching command. The inte-
grated electronics evaluate the level signal and output a switch-
ing signal, directly operating connected devices.
• Key Applications: For use in liquids and slurries, for level mea-
surement, overfill, and dry run protection
