Correct installation method of tuning fork level switch

You can confirm whether the tuning fork level switch is installed correctly by observing the small dot on the process connection.

The small circle point is in the upper right or lower state, and the left or right state is an error.

When installed on the side, the two tuning forks of the tuning fork should be in the same horizontal plane and are not allowed to move up and down. As shown in the red part of the figure below:

Moisture and waterproof design of two blue meters

The blue instrument of the fork 11 material level switch can be rotated, but when it cannot rotate, it is not allowed to rotate with brute force, but it should be rotated and adjusted in the opposite direction so that its cable opening is downward. This product is designed to be waterproof and moisture-proof when the material level switch is mounted on the side. As shown in the red part of the figure below:

Sensitivity adjustment of loop module

When the upper cover of the tuning fork level switch is unscrewed, the circuit module will be exposed. There is a sensitivity adjustment part on the circuit module, but it is not necessary to adjust it under normal circumstances, so the instrument will seal this part with a "QC" mark when it leaves the factory.

If you really need to adjust it, you should use a small screwdriver to adjust it gently to the left or right, remember not to press hard. When you turn it to the far right, the amplitude is greatest, and to the left, it is the smallest. The smaller the amplitude, the lower the density of the measurable medium (for example, foam measurement in a molding machine), but it can easily sound an alarm when material hangs up. For normal media, there is no need to adjust it. By default, it is set to the far right. As shown in red below:

Purging device function

After calculation, the liquid level switch of the front fork 11 tuning fork has been accurately adjusted. Under normal circumstances, a small amount of material hanging will not cause false alarms.

The closer the fork body of the tuning fork material level switch is to the tail, the higher the sensitivity. Even if there is more material hanging near the thread, the alarm will not go wrong.

However, when using a tuning fork level switch to measure thicker materials (such as for measuring foam preheaters), it is recommended to install a purge device on the level switch to ensure that the alarm is not missed due to alarms. Hanging material.
