Features:
SINGLE-PRONG PROBE DESIGN
The VibraRod™ provides a probe design superior to "tuning fork" devices and eliminates problems associated with build-up between tines of "tuning fork" devices. In addition, the VibraRod's vibration acts as a self-cleaning effect for most materials, which can further eliminate problems. The reinforced 316 stainless steel rod provides a high level of corrosion resistance suitable for virtually any application.
IMMUNE TO CHANGES
The unique design of the VibraRod level sensor makes it immune to changes in many different application variables including:
|
|
Vessel contents
|
|
|
Material composition
|
|
|
Density of material
|
|
|
Dielectric constant
|
|
|
Particle size
|
|
|
Moisture content
|
|
|
Pressure and Humidity
|
|
|
Temperature

NO CALIBRATION REQUIRED
The VibraRod level sensor is very easy to use. Unlike RF Capacitance type sensors, no calibration is required. Simple switch adjustments for time delay, fail-safe and sensitivity are all that is required to setup and use the VibraRod point level sensor.
SELECTABLE FAIL-SAFE MODE
The VibraRod is selectable for high or low fail-safe mode. This allows the user to set the output "state" upon alarm activation and power failure.
LOCAL INDICATION
Each VibraRod level sensor includes a bi-color LED to indicate power and material absence/presence (Ordinary location sensors only).
UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY
All VibraRod level sensors can be provided in either a high or low voltage design. The high voltage design can be used with 85-265VAC and 120-375VDC. The low voltage design requires either 16-40VAC or 19-55VDC. This added flexibility allows two power supply ranges to cover all possible requirements.
CHOICE OF HOUSING MATERIALS
A choice of either plastic or aluminum is offered.
CHOICE OF PROBE CONFIGURATIONS
Flexibility for virtually any bulk solids point level application (top or side mounted) is enhanced with a choice of three probe configurations: Standard, Cable Extension and Pipe Extension.
HAZARDOUS LOCATION VERSION
The Standard, Pipe Extended and Cable Extended configurations of the VibraRod level sensor (aluminum housing only) can be provided with ATEX hazardous area certification. This allows the VibraRod to be used in areas where hazardous explosive dust is present.
