  • Page 9: Principle Of Operation

    Principle of operation Application area SITRANS LVL200E is a point level sensor with tuning fork for point level detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in liquids. Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. The small tuning fork allows use in all kinds of tanks and vessels. Thanks to its simple and rugged measuring system, SITRANS LVL200E is virtually unaffected by the chemical and physical properties of the liquid.

Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork.

  • Page 15: Mounting Instructions

    Mounting instructions Welded socket SITRANS LVL200E has a defined thread starting point. This means that every SITRANS LVL200E is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of SITRANS LVL200E. This seal is not required when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.

This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube. Fig. 8: Inflowing medium Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of SITRANS LVL200E generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
