SITRANS LVS200 Introduction

Notes
• Installation, maintenance, and commissioning must be performed by qualified
technical personnel.
• SITRANS LVS200 must be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction
manual.
SITRANS LVS200 is available in three versions:
• The SITRANS LVS200, standard version, is a vibrating level switch that detects high
or low levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos, or hoppers. SITRANS LVS200 provides a
contact output for levels of products such as lime, styrofoam, flour, and plastic
granules. The compact design allows SITRANS LVS200 to be top or side mounted.
The standard length LVS200 fork is also available with variable cable extension
lengths to a maximum of 20 000 mm (787"). An optional longer fork is available for
increased sensitivity. SITRANS LVS200 cable extension is for top mount applications
only. The vibrating fork design ensures that the tines are kept clean.
• The SITRANS LVS200, liquid/solid interface version, is a vibrating level switch that
can also detect settled solids within liquids, or solids within confined spaces such
as feed pipes. This version is designed to ignore liquids in order to detect the
interface between a solid and a liquid. The design incorporates a short fork, and is
also available with variable cable extension lengths to a maximum of 20 000 mm
(787"), for top mount applications only.
• The SITRANS LVS200, pipe extension version, is a vibrating level switch that
incorporates a customer supplied pipe extension [maximum length 3800 mm (150")]
with the standard or liquid/solid (short) LVS200 fork and electronics. This allows for
separation of the electronics and tuning fork for specialized applications. Please
