PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

WORKING PRINCIPLE APPLICATION


The FineTek tuning fork level switch is suitable 1 Most materials in powder can be measurable,
level control switch for liquids, sludges, petroleums includes the grounded coffee, milk power,
as well solid level detection of almost any granular, chocolate, coal ash, bulk, sugar, salt, wheat,
sandy, chip like, powdery, low bulk density grains, glass debris, plastic pellet, cement
materials.
1 Sludge level detection in waste water
The working principle is based on the changes of
vibration frequency of the tuning fork when it The SC series detects the min. and max of

FEATURE
1 Glass window, to review power supply and output
directly without having to take off enclosure cover
(SC 3 series).
1 Dual insulation can reduce damage on PCB board
caused by temperature, humidity, and condensation
effects.
1 Wide voltage supply range 20~250, 50~60Hz Vac/
Vdc.
1 SPDT Relay output, SSR MOSFET output.
1 No calibration required, easy use, sturdy and durable
design.
1 High / Low failure safe modes.
1 Sensitivity adjustment is abailable for different density
of media. Fine power can be detected.
1 Suitable for liquid, power, solid applications.
