Vibrating Point Level Switch

The operating principle is the same for all vibrating probe level switches. A piezo-electric crystal is used to force a blade to oscillate at its fundamental frequency (natural resonance). When the blades come into contact with the process medium the natural frequency of oscillation is dampened; the electronics sense the change in frequency which causes the unit to switch.
The DP600 series has a single solid stainless steel rod which is vibrated by the piezo electric element. Due to its small size it is ideal for use in small hoppers containg granular materials or pellets, like plastics, food or grain, but the circular construction of the DP600 means that it is not as sensitive to light materials. The 600 series should only be used on materials which have a bulk density greater than 90 grams per litre.
