RF level switches deliver peak performance at low cost. Based on Radio Frequency principle for Solids, Liquids, Slurries.

Principle of Operation

It works on Radio Frequency Principle. Independent but identical low power RF signals equal in frequency, phase, and amplitude and wave shape generated in Electronic Controller are provided to active and shield sections of the Sensing Probe whereas , the reference ground of electronics is connected to the vessel shell . The signal provided to the shield section is maintained constant by use of a compensating circuit in the Electronic Controller while the signal applied to the active section varies with the change of media between probe and the vessel shell. The suspended dust or material in transit do not have cohesive inter-particle contact and have no role in this RF principle of Level Sensing. The variation in active signal is compared with the constant shield signal. At a predetermined value of difference a relay is actuated to obtain potential free relay change over.

Features

Appropriate operating torque to suit service material, can be set through adjustable spring inside the housing. Motor operating the paddle is protected from overload by means of magnetic clutch. Flexible spring shaft for absorbing material shocks. Protection shield for horizontal / inclined installation for protection of paddle from material flow / dumping. Two bearing shaft assembly for reduced wear and increased reliability. Ash seal assembly for dusty environment.

Application

Cement, Powder, Steel, Food, Chemicals, Fertilizer, Sugar, Detergents etc.
