Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the PZP Vibratory Point Level Sensor, highlighting its versatility, sensitivity, and unique design features. It is designed for use in various process control applications within the powder and bulk solids market.
Key Features:
  • Versatility: Suitable for materials with densities from 1.25 to 100 lb/ft3 (20 - 1600 kg/m3), unaffected by environmental changes.
  • Design: Single-prong, diamond-shaped probe minimizes material packing and false signaling.
  • Technology: Utilizes piezoelectric technology for reliable detection without calibration.
  • Power Supply: Universal power supply (20–250 VAC/DC).
  • Applications: High and low-level applications, dust collector backup protection, and more.
Principle of Operation: The sensor uses piezoelectric crystals to create and monitor vibrations. The presence of material dampens the vibration, altering the output voltage and changing the relay status.
Applications: Suitable for a wide range of materials including chemicals, grains, plastics, and more. Ideal for lightweight materials and applications with frequent vessel content changes.
Ease of Use: No calibration required, with simple sensitivity and fail-safe settings.
Configurations:
  • Standard Probe: 7" length, suitable for top and side mount applications.
  • Pipe Extension Probe: For applications beyond standard probe length, available up to 12' (3.6m).
  • Flexible Cable Extension Probe: Extends detection length, available up to 20' (6.1m).
  • High Temp/Remote Electronics: For high-temperature applications, with remote electronics separation up to 6' (1.8m).
Specifications:
  • Power Requirements: 20 – 250 VAC 50/60 Hz, 20 – 250 VDC.
  • Temperature Range: Electronics: -22˚ F to 140˚ F (-30˚ C to 60˚ C); Internal Bin: -22˚ F to 302˚ F (-30˚ C to 150˚ C) for high temp models.
  • Output Relay: SPDT dry contact; 5 amps @ 250VAC max.
  • Sensitivity: Minimum material density of 1.25 lb/ft3 (20 kg/m3).
  • Enclosure: Die-cast aluminum, NEMA 4, IP65.
Warranty: Two-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship, with conditions for repair or replacement.
