    Introduction Using this manual The sections in this manual provide detailed information on installing, operating, and maintaining the Rosemount 2160 Wireless Level Detector - Vibrating Fork. The sections are organized as follows: Level detector overview provides a description of the Rosemount 2160 and its basic principles.

  • Page 9: Level Detector Overview

    Process characteristics Emerson's vibrating fork technology is virtually unaffected by turbulence, foam, solids content, coating products, and liquid properties. The natural frequency (1400 Hz) of the fork avoids interference from plant vibration that may cause false detection. This allows for minimum intrusion into the tank or pipe using a short fork.

  • Page 10: Application Examples

    Spillage caused by overfilling can be hazardous to people and the environment, resulting in lost product and potentially high clean-up costs. The Rosemount 2160 is an overfill prevention product from Emerson that can be used as one of multiple layers of protection.
  • Page 11 Rosemount 2160 can be installed in small diameter pipes. Short forks mean minimum intrusion on the wetside and allow for simple, low cost installation at any angle into pipes or tanks. The Rosemount 2160 is ideal for reliable pump control and can be used to protect against pumps running dry.

  • Page 16 3.2.2 Application considerations The Rosemount 2160 is a wireless HART point level devices for use on open or closed vessels (tanks) and in pipework containing liquid mediums. For most liquids, including coating, aerated liquids and slurries, the function is virtually unaffected by flow, turbulence, bubbles, foam, vibration, solid particles, build-up, or properties of the liquid medium.
  • Page 17 Emerson. Foams In almost all cases, the Rosemount 2160 is insensitive to foams (i.e. does not see the foam). However in rare occasions, some very dense foams may be seen as liquid; known examples of this are found in ice-cream and orange juice manufacturing.
