SITRANS LVS100 and LVS200
Introduction
Notes
• Installation, maintenance, and commissioning must be performed by qualified
technical personnel.
• SITRANS LVS100/200 must be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction
manual.
The SITRANS LVS100 and SITRANS LVS200 are available in a standard version, with the
SITRANS LVS200 offering two additional versions.
SITRANS LVS100, SITRANS LVS200 - Standard Version
• SITRANS LVS100/200 standard version is a vibrating level switch that detects high
or low levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos, or hoppers. It has a compact design that
allows it to be top or side mounted and the vibrating fork ensures that the tines are
kept clean.
• SITRANS LVS100 is an entry level solids fork with a bulk density limit starting
at 60 g/l (3.8 lb/ft
4 000 mm (157").
• SITRANS LVS200 provides several output options for indication of point level
with products such as lime, styrofoam, flour, and plastic granules, starting at
20 g/l (1.2 lb/ft
measure bulk densities of less than 5g/l. In addition, the LVS200 has a wider
range of process configurations. SITRANS LVS200 standard length fork is
available with variable cable extension lengths to a maximum of 20 000 mm
(787") (cable extensions for top mount applications only). An optional longer
fork is available for increased sensitivity.
SITRANS LVS200 - Liquid/Solid Interface Version
• The SITRANS LVS200, liquid/solid interface version, is a vibrating level switch that
can also detect settled solids within liquids, or solids within confined spaces such
as feed pipes. This version is designed to ignore liquids in order to detect the
interface between a solid and a liquid. The design incorporates a short fork, and is
also available with variable cable extension lengths to a maximum of 7 000 mm
(275.59"), for top mount applications only.
SITRANS LVS200 - Pipe Extension Version
• The SITRANS LVS200, pipe extension version, is a vibrating level switch that
incorporates a customer supplied pipe extension [maximum length 3800 mm (150")]
with the standard or liquid/solid (short) LVS200 fork and electronics. This allows for
separation of the electronics and tuning fork for applications requiring a rigid
extension. Please see
information on assembly.
