SCS16X SANITARY VIBRATION FORK LEVEL SWITCH FEATURE WORKING PRINCIPLE Piezoelectric element drives the fork and vibrates at its frequency. When medium contacts the fork, a frequency reduction occurs. The change of the frequency is then detected and transferred to the electronics, and is converted into a signal output. There is no electronic amplifier , free of sensitivity adjustment for different media. No calibration required Compact design, ideal for any installation Durable and maintenance-free IP69K Stainless Steel M12 electrical connection provides excellent performance at air-sealed environment,...

FUNCTION DISCRIPTION MAGNETIC TESTING After the switch has been properly installed, introduce corresponding power to activate the vibration of the fork. Approach a magnet to the testing area of the housing (shown below), so that relay output performs the switch function (N/O to N/C; N/C to N/O). It uses the LED indication (yellow LED) to switch the status, and the fork continuously vibrates. Removing the magnet from the testing area, the output and LED indication (yellow LED) will return as default and the fork continuously vibrates. This verification is to confirm the function and wiring of...

SAS SANITARY CAPACITANCE LEVEL SWITCH WORKING PRINCIPLE FEATURE & APPLICATION Detected medium acts as an interface to detect the amount of capacitance between the probe and the tank wall. When the probe is covered by the medium, the amount of capacitance will increase. Once the amount of capacitance reaches and matches the setup amount on the PCB, high-frequency resonant occurs which is then amplitude signal is detected and converted into a switch function. No moving parts, maintenance-free. Suitable for liquid, solid and powder Probe Material: PEEK
