Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the VibraRod™ vibrating rod sensor, designed for reliable point level sensing in various applications involving powders and bulk solids. It highlights the sensor's features, configurations, and specifications.
Key Features:
  • Single-Probe Design: The VibraRod™ uses a single vibrating rod, which avoids clogging and bridging issues common with tuning fork designs.
  • No Calibration Required: The sensor is unaffected by environmental and material changes, eliminating the need for calibration.
  • Universal Power Supply: Available in high and low voltage designs, accommodating a wide range of power requirements.
  • Variety of Configurations: Offered in standard, cable extension, and pipe extension versions to suit different application needs.
  • Hazardous Location Approvals: Certified for use in areas with explosive dust.
Principle of Operation: The VibraRod™ operates on a mechanical resonance system, using piezoelectric crystals to detect material presence by changes in vibration dampening.
Applications: Suitable for a wide range of materials including chemicals, grains, sand, and food products. It is ideal for bulk solids with densities as low as 3.12 lbs/ft³ and particle sizes up to 3/8 inches.
Specifications:
  • Power Requirements: High Voltage (85-265VAC/120-375VDC) and Low Voltage (16-40VAC/19-55VDC).
  • Temperature Range: Varies by probe type, with a maximum ambient temperature of 140°F (60°C).
  • Pressure Rating: Up to 363 psi for standard and pipe extension probes.
  • Material: Probes made from 316Ti stainless steel, with options for aluminum or plastic housing.
Ordering Information: Includes options for housing material, probe configuration, power supply, approvals, and process connection types.
Warranty: The VibraRod™ comes with a two-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship, with conditions outlined for repair or replacement.

VibraRod Vibratory Level Probe-2

Single Probe Vibrating Rod Design Used For Most Solids analyzed by the electronic circuitry. With material present at the probe, the vibration is dampened so that the second crystal is not able to generate as high a voltage as when no material is present. The electronic circuitry senses this change and the relay output changes accordingly. No Clogging/Bridging Like Tuning Fork Designs Unaffected by Environmental & Material Changes – No Calibration Pipe & Cable Extension Units Available The VibraRod™ level sensor provides reliable point level sensing in a wide variety of applications for most...

VibraRod Vibratory Level Probe-3

NO CALIBRATION REQUIRED The VibraRod level sensor is very easy to use. Unlike RF Capacitance sensors, no calibration is required. Simple switch adjustments for time delay, fail-safe and sensitivity are all that is required to setup and use the VibraRod sensor. PIPE EXTENSION PROBE For high and low level applications that extend beyond the length of the standard probe, the VibraRod can be provided with a pipe extension probe. This configuration is intended for top mount applications only. The extension is constructed of 1” stainless steel pipe, which provides structural strength and affords a...
