  • Page 5: For Your Safety

    During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The SITRANS LVL100 is a sensor for point level detection. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.

  • Page 7: Product Description

    Article numbers, documentation Principle of operation Application area SITRANS LVL100 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.
  • Page 8: Adjustment

    Voltage supply SITRANS LVL100 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be oper- ated without external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal. With this switching signal, a connected device can be operated directly (e.g. a warning system, a pump etc.).

  • Page 10: Mounting

    DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. Switching point In general, SITRANS LVL100 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 11 Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your SITRANS LVL100 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in...
  • Page 12: Mounting Instructions

    Welded socket For threaded versions of SITRANS LVL100 in combination with a mounting boss with O-ring in front and welding marking. SITRANS LVL100 with thread sizes ¾" and 1" have a defined thread. This means that every SITRANS LVL100 is in the same position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied flat seal from the thread of SITRANS LVL100. This flat seal is not required when using a welded socket with front-flush seal. Before welding, unscrew SITRANS LVL100 and remove the rubber ring from the welded socket.
  • Page 13 For this reason, mount SITRANS LVL100 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of SITRANS LVL100 generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.

  • Page 14: Connecting To Power Supply

    Install switch or circuit breaker easy to access as a disconnecting device for the instrument. The disconnecting device must be marked for the instrument (IEC/EN 61010). The SITRANS LVL100 and the connected load must be protected through a respectively dimensioned fuse. Connection cable The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without screening. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above...

  • Page 16 For this plug version you can use standard cable with round wire cross-section. The inner conductors do not have to be stripped. The plug connects the conductors automatically when screwing in. Cable diameter 5.5 … 8 mm, protection IP67. SITRANS LVL100 - Operating Instructions...
  • Page 17 Cable Seal ring Terminal insert Plug housing Contactless electronic We recommend connecting SITRANS LVL100 in such a way that the switch switching circuit is open when there is a level signal, line break or failure (safe state). Warning: The instrument must not be operated without an intermediately connected load, because the electronics would be destroyed if con- nected directly to the mains.
