Description

The SITRANS LVS100 and SITRANS LVS200 are available in a standard version, with the
SITRANS LVS200 offering two additional versions.
2.1

SITRANS LVS100, SITRANS LVS200 - standard version

SITRANS LVS100/200 standard version is a vibrating level switch that detects high or low
levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos, or hoppers. It has a compact design that allows it to be
top or side mounted and the vibrating fork ensures that the tines are kept clean.
● SITRANS LVS100 is an entry level solids fork with a bulk density limit starting at 30 g/l
(3.8 lb/ft
● SITRANS LVS200 provides several output options for indication of point level with
products such as lime, styrofoam, flour, and plastic granules, starting at 20 g/l (1.2 lb/ft
It handles a broader range of applications and is able to measure bulk densities of less
than 5g/l. In addition, the LVS200 has a wider range of process configurations. SITRANS
LVS200 standard length fork is available with variable cable extension lengths to a
maximum of 20 000 mm (787") (cable extensions for top mount applications only). An
optional longer fork is available for increased sensitivity.
2.2

SITRANS LVS200 - liquid/solid interface version

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 7000 mm (275.59"), for top mount applications only.
2.3

SITRANS LVS200 - pipe extension version

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 applications requiring a rigid extension. See SITRANS LVS200 Pipe
Extended Version (Page 30) for information on assembly.
