OPERATING PRINCIPLE : HOUSING

A conductive Level switch operates on the base of conductive principle. These are
CABLE ENTRY
equipped with two or more electrodes (one is ground and others are sensing electrodes). 89

When a conductive fluid comes in contact with two or more of sensing electrodes, an
electric circuit is completed. A very small alternating voltage is applied to two probes tips. 1 1/2 BSP
The circuit gets closed by liquid when liquid touches the probe tip. The voltage & current
used are so small that no dangerous shock can occur. The use of alternating voltage
prevents deposition and electrolysis.

 ROTATING PADDLE TYPE LEVEL SWITCH PLS

APPLICATION :
Used in almost any dry bulk material application in hoppers, silo, bins & tanks. Durable rugged design, that is
compatible with many bulk solids, pelletized and granule applications.

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.

FEATURES :
l Simple but reliable switch for level control.
l Specially designed motor, which does not burn under lock rotor condition.
l Specially designed PTFE seal to prevent ingress of dust particles into main enclosure.
l Field replaceable paddle assembly to suit various applications.

TILT SWITCH TLS 602

APPLICATION:
Tilt switch is an electronic device specially developed for sensing the level of an
approaching stockpile on stacker-reclaimed or material in hopper in a silo and to
provide an output signal which can be used to initiate control action. It is used for
measuring level of solids & granules.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE:
The Tilt switch comprises of two parts : Sensor Probe & Monitoring Unit. The sensor
probe is of tubular structure & is hanged by means of a chain link arrangement. When
tilt probe gets tilted by material, the output relay gets actuated. The sensor probe unit
has omni-directional sensing pattern and hence on whichever side its tilts, it provides
output signal. It has built-in adjustable ON & OFF delays to take care of nuisance
tripping due to wind flow or momentary jerks at the start and stop of the machine.

FEATURES:
l Adjustable ON & OFF delay, to prevent nuisance tripping.
l Omni-directional sensor probe. The switch operates when tilts to any direction. 100

 CONTINEOUS LEVEL MEASUREMENT
RF CAPACITANCE TYPE CONTINEOUS LEVEL TRANSMITTER FOR LIQUID RFLT

APPLICATION:
l Level measurement of liquids and solids in tank and vessels with analogue O/P
l Level transmitter for water, diesel and oils, Acids, Acetone, Ammonia Benzine, Feed water, fruit juice,

The probe forms an electrical capacitor with the surrounding metal contained wall, or with auxiliary
reference probe . With the vessel empty, initial capacitances exists between the electrode and the metal
well or the auxiliary reference probe. When the probe become covered with material to be measured the
capacitances will increase and the change will be measured and covered into an analogue (4-20 mA)
output signal proportional to the change. Rod or flexible cable can be used for various conductive or non
conductive Liquids

l Simple push-button calibration
l Output 4-20 mA , 20-4 mA
Dead zone

l Built-in temperature compensation

l Compact Size for Easy Mounting
l Easy to install
Usable Range

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:
An ultrasonic pulse is transmitted from the sensor face. The pulse travels to the surface being monitored
and is reflected off this surface back to the sensor. The time of flight is divided by 2 and converted to an
Min.Level
output signal directly proportional to the material level

ULTRASONIC LEVEL TRANSMITTER

10
 RADAR LEVEL TRANSMITTER

APPLICATION:
l For level monitoring of liquids and free flowing solids
l Suitable for highly dusty environments such as cement industry
l Less affected by environment effects like vapors, wind, rain, foam, fumes etc.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE:
Level Transmitters operates on Time Domain Reflectometry principle. A wave is emitted by
the antenna. As soon as the pulses reach the surface of the medium, it is reflected back to
the electronic module. Level / distance is directly proportional to the flight time of the pulse.
The measured Level data is converted into 4-20 mA DC analog, isolated output (4 wire
RADAR LEVEL TRANSMITTER: models). Optionally information about level measurement is sent via RS232 or RS 485 to a
PC for processing such as diagnostics, programmable set-up and data logging.

FEATURES:
l Minimizes signal loss.
l Eliminates false echoes
l No moving parts
l High accuracy
l Solid, Flexible & co-axial probes
l Non-contact type Level Transmitters
