3.2Principle of operation

SITRANS LVL100 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for

level detection.

It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process

technology and can be used in liquids.

Typical applications are overﬁll and dry run protection.With a

tuning fork of only 40 mm length,SITRANS LVL100 can be

also mounted,e.g.in pipelines from DN 25.The small tuning

fork allows use in vessels,tanks and pipes.Thanks to its

simple and robust measuring system,SITRANS LVL100 is

virtually unaﬀected by the chemical and physical properties of

the liquid.

It functions even under diﬃcult conditions such as turbulence,

air bubbles,foam generation,buildup,strong external vibration

or changing products.

Fault monitoring

The electronics module of SITRANS LVL100 continuously

monitors via frequency evaluation the following criteria:

lStrong corrosion or damage on the tuning fork

lloss of vibration

lLine break to the piezo drive

If a malfunction is detected or in case of power failure,the

electronics takes on a deﬁned switching condition,i.e.the

contactless electronic switch opens (safe condition).

The tuning fork is piezoelectrically energised and vibrates at its

mechanical resonance frequency of approx.1200 Hz.The

piezos are ﬁxed mechanically and are hence not subject to

temperature shock limitations.The frequency changes when

the tuning fork is covered by the medium.This change is

detected by the integrated oscillator and converted into a

switching command.

SITRANS LVL100 is a compact instrument,i.e.it can be

operated 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,aPLC,a pump etc.).

Data for power supply are speciﬁed in chapter "Technical

data".

3.3Operation

The switching status of SITRANS LVL100 can be checked with

closed housing (signal lamp). Products with a density >0.7g/

cm³(0.025 lbs/in³)can be detected.

3.4Storage and transport

Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.

Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured

by a test according to DIN EN 24180.

The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ-

ment-friendly,recyclable cardboard.For special versions,PE

foam or PE foil is also used.Dispose of the packaging material

via specialised recycling companies.

Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes

on the transport packaging.Nonobservance of these instruc-

tions can cause damage to the device.

The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible

transit damage immediately at receipt.Ascertained transit

damage or concealed defects must be appropriately dealt

with.

Up to the time of installation,the packages must be left closed

and stored according to the orientation and storage markings

on the outside.

Unless otherwise indicated,the packages must be stored only

under the following conditions:

lNot in the open

lDry and dust free

lNot exposed to corrosive media

lProtected against solar radiation

lAvoiding mechanical shock and vibration

lStorage and transport temperature see "Supplement -

Technical data -Ambient conditions"

lRelative humidity 20 …85 %

4Mounting

4.1General instructions

In general,SITRANS LVL100 can be installed in any position.

The instrument simply has be mounted in such a way that the

tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

The tuning fork has lateral marking (notches), marking the

switching point with vertical mounting.The switching point

refers to water (1g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in³). When mounting

SITRANS LVL100,make sure that this marking is at the height

of the requested switching point.Keep in mind that the

switching point of the instrument is shifted if the medium has a

density other than water.
