  • 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.

  • Page 12: Mounting

    You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the nameplate. Switching point In general, SITRANS LVL200E can be installed in any position. The instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

  • Page 14 Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your SITRANS LVL200E additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in...

  • Page 15: Mounting Instructions

    Mounting instructions Welding 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.
  • Page 16 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. SITRANS LVL200E - Operating Instructions *7ML19985KY01*...
  • Page 17 For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for SITRANS LVL200E, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.
