Operating Principle :

Vibrating Fork Level switch contain Piezo-electric crystal in the probe, which causes the fork to vibrate at a frequency of 125 Hz. It detects the presence or absence of material and actuates a relay. It gives point output, indicating high & low level alarm. It is having compact and robust design, suitable for side & top mounting. The constant vibration of the fork provides self-cleaning characteristics. The change in vibration is detected by circuit which causes the relay to change state after few seconds delay ( about 2-3 seconds). When fork is free from material relay reverts to its normal condition

Operating Principle :

The electronic circuit when powered excites the stainless steel rod of the probe to vibrate on its resonance frequency. When material covers the rod of the probe the vibration stops. This is sensed by the electronic circuit which forces its relay to switch. When the rod gets uncovered, the vibration restarts and the relay switches back

Operating Principle :

Paddle type switches consist of motor, which drives a paddle through a planetary gearbox arrangement. The absence of material allows motor to turn the paddle uninterrupted. When the unit senses the presence of material via the restricted rotation of the paddle, the reversing torque actuates the internal micro-switches and alarms the unit, to give corresponding output signal.
