Signal Outputs Selection of Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch for Highly Dynamic Fluid Levels - 1

Signal Outputs Selection of Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch for Highly Dynamic Fluid Levels In practical applications, some of the rapidly changing fluid levels in small containers or pipelines can result in overflow. In the small-volume containers and pipes, the fast liquid flow rate is a potential problem of danger. A proper signal output selection of the liquid level switch can avoid or solve the problem. Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch comprises a two fork tines which is driven by a piezo-crystal assembly to oscillate at its natural frequency. The fork sensors are typically factory calibrated and set at a specific frequency depending on the type of industry. When in air, the forks vibrate at their natural frequency; when liquids cover the forks, the frequency of oscillation drops and is detected by the integrated circuit, which in turn changes the output state. Compared with other level detection instruments, Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch has strong anti-interference ability and it is not easily affected by foam and bubbles. At the same time, most viscous liquids are also able to be measured. With high reliability, the accuracy error of Jiwei Ring-11 Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch is within ± 1mm. Ring-11 has passed SIL2/3 safety certification, intrinsic safety and explosion-proof certifications. The forks are only 40mm long, and the minimum measurable liquid density reaches 0.5g/cm ³， suitable for liquid level measurement in small containers or pipelines.

There are four signal outputs (relay, two-wire, NAMUR, and transistor) that can be chosen from Ring-11 Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch. 1. Relay (DPDT): The power supply adopts AC/DC, with a power supply range of 20~253V AC/20~72V DC. It is intelligently identified and matched by internal circuits, and the signal output can be freely selected as normally closed or normally open. This is a commonly used output, which can directly control multiple instruments and with a wide range of applications. 2. Two-wire: DC power supply is adopted for range 10~36VDC, with alarm output 8mA or 16mA. With...

3. NAMUR: it only needs to provide a DC voltage of about 8V. The alarm signal outputs a current signal of ≤ 1mA or ≥ 2.1mA, which is lower in current and voltage compared to a two-wire system of 8mA/16mA. NAMUR signal outputs are all intrinsically-safe instruments, usually can be combined with isolated safety barriers in hazardous environments. 4. Transistor: 6~48V DC power supply is adopted, PNP or NPN output mode can be selected. Due to the low output drive current, high response frequency, and durable life of, the transistor is suitable to control servo controllers, solid-state relays,...
