1.Outline Vibrating level switch can detect a storage level of particulate materials from very lightweight powders to grains. Vibrating probe will oscillate in a fixed frequency (resonant frequency) by piezo element, if coating with powders of storage materials, vibrating amplitude will be significantly decreased. This decreased amplitude will be detected by the part of electronic circuit, and a contact signal is output as a level signal. 2.Specifications Table 1.

4.Mounting 4-1.Mounting devices If mounting a device, screw Boss (Hexagon part) using a spanner etc. after sealing a screw part. Note:Please do not screw by turning a case part. 4-2.Protection of vibrating probe (cable) Mount the vibrating probe (cable) not to be hit by charging powders. Prevent impact by mounting a protection plate to avoid damage and disconnection if the vibrating probe is hit by the charging material. Keep over 200mm of a distance between the vibrating probe and the protection plate. Fig. 2 protection of probe Important:The cable suspended type has power voltage in cable to activate the vibrating probe . Protect the vibrating probe not to directly contact with powders, because any malfunction of switch, disconnection of cables, wrong detection, electric leak and shock may occur. 4-3.Position of vibrating probe Mount the vibrating probe projecting 20mm inside the silo. ≧20mm Fig. 3 Position of Vibrating probe 4-4. At horizontal mounting Mount the switch inclined 20°deg. It can reduce the load on the vibrating probe when removing. Fig. 4 Horizontal mounting ...
