SOLITEL® Vibrating rod level switches for solids DESCRIPTION SOLITEL®, vibrating rod level switches are integral units, providing a low cost and reliable level detection of bulk solids in tanks or silos. The SOLITEL® is ideally suited for level control on powders, granulars or lump materials up to a minimum density of 0,05 kg/dm3. From 235 mm up to 20 m insertion length (9.25" up to 65.62') F E AT U R E S • 2 position density adjustment (media with SG < 0,1 and > 0,1) • SG as low as 0,05 kg/dm3 – granular size 10 mm (0.39") • Status LED – built into cover • Electro polished 316 TI (1.4571) vibrating rod • Self-cleaning sensor • Output: 8A SPDT relay (1A @ 24 V DC) • Process Temperature: -40 °C to 160 °C (-40 °F to 320 °F) • Max Pressure: 25 bar abs.

When in contact with the medium, the vibration will be dampened. The attenuation of the vibration will be detected by the integral mount electronics, thus changing the status of the output. A G E N C Y A P P R O VA L Agency DMT Approval ATEX II 1/2 D IP 65 (Dust Ex) MOUNTING A deflection plate is required when the probe is exposed to falling material or, in case of a low level switch, when the drag force of the emtying material exceed the specifications. Avoid mounting the sensor in a recess where build-up could dampen the vibration.
