Introduction
BinMaster's vibrating rod is a piezoelectric-driven vibration type level switch designed for detecting high, mid, and low levels in bins, silos, and hoppers filled with powders or dry bulk solid materials. It features a unique single rod design that prevents material bridging and buildup, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Specifications
The vibrating rod is constructed from strong stainless steel and offers insertion lengths from 7.37 inches to 19 feet. It operates with a wide input voltage range of 20-250V AC/DC and consumes 3VA of power. The device is equipped with a SPDT relay (option for DPDT) and has a time delay of 1 second for stopping and 2 to 5 seconds for starting vibration. It can operate in ambient temperatures from -4°F to +140°F and process temperatures up to 482°F, depending on the model.

Features
The vibrating rod is designed to detect extremely light and fluffy materials with densities as low as 1.25 lb./cu. ft. It includes an LED status indicator, requires no calibration, and offers three sensitivity adjustments. The device is wear and maintenance-free, with an auto-sensing power supply and dual conduit entries. It also includes switch-selectable high/low fail-safe options and is available in high-temperature and remote electronics configurations.

Applications
The vibrating rod is suitable for a wide range of materials, including salt, flour, spices, pellets, animal foods, chemicals, and more. It is ideal for high and low-level indication or plugged chute detection.

Models and Configurations
The VR-21 is the standard model with a 7-inch insertion length, suitable for top and side mount applications. The VR-41 and VR-51 models offer extended insertion lengths up to 19 feet for top mount applications. The CVR-600 is a compact model for small bins and hoppers, while the SHT-120 and SHT-140 are designed for high-temperature applications.

Advantages
The vibrating rod offers mounting flexibility and various configurations to suit different applications. Its single blade design eliminates material bridging, and it is capable of detecting extremely light and fluffy materials.

Conclusion
BinMaster's vibrating rod level sensors provide a reliable and efficient solution for level detection in various industrial applications, offering robust construction, versatile configurations, and ease of use without the need for calibration.
