SITRANS LVS200 Introduction
Notes
•
Installation, maintenance, and commissioning must be performed by qualified
technical personnel.
•
SITRANS LVS200 must be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction
manual.
SITRANS LVS200 is available in three versions:
•
The SITRANS LVS200, standard version, is a vibrating level switch that detects high
or low levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos, or hoppers. SITRANS LVS200 provides a
contact output for levels of products such as lime, styrofoam, flour, and plastic
granules. The compact design allows SITRANS LVS200 to be top or side mounted.
The vibrating fork design ensures that the tines are kept clean.
•
The SITRANS LVS200, liquid/solid interface version, is a vibrating level switch that
can also detect settled solids within liquids, or solids within confined spaces such
as feed pipes. This version is designed to ignore liquids in order to detect the
interface between a solid and a liquid.
•
The SITRANS LVS200, pipe extension version, is a vibrating level switch that
incorporates a customer supplied pipe extension [maximum length 3800 mm (150")]
with the standard or liquid/solid LVS200 fork and electronics. This allows for
separation of the electronics and tuning fork for specialized applications. Please
see SITRANS LVS200 Pipe Extended Version on page 12 for information on
assembly.
