Solitel^®
Vibrating Rod
Level Switch
DESCRIPTION
Solitel^® Vibrating Rod Level Switches provide reliable
level detection of powders and bulk solids. This com-
pact, integral switch is suitable for high or low level
detection in hoppers or silos. It may also be used for
plugged chute detection.
The single-piece probe and the unique self-clean cycle
avoid problems of buildup. Sensitivity of the instrument
can be adjusted to detect a variety of solid materials
ranging from heavy granular materials to light powders
with bulk densities less than one pound per cubic foot.
TECHNOLOGY
The Solitel rod vibrates at a frequency of 350 Hz. When
in contact with the media, the vibration is dampened.
The attenuation of the vibration is detected by the inte-
gral mount electronics which change the state of the
relay. The unique self-clean feature is activated when
the vibration is dampened. The self-clean circuitry
increases the amplitude of the vibration to dislodge any
buildup which may have occurred.
FEATURES
• Single rod design eliminates clogging
• High temperature version up to +320° F (+160° C)
