2280 Tuning Forks
Type 2280 Tuning Forks are suitable for level detection
of liquids or granular, powdered solids. Mounted on
tanks filling / emptying can be controlled using these
devices just as well they can generate fail-safe alarms
providing overfill- or dry run protection.
Features
• Maintenance free vibrating principle
• Independent of the liquid conductivity, dielectric
constant, viscosity, pressure and temperature
• Selectable sensitivity
• Relay or electronic output
• Temperatures up to 130 degrees
• ATEX and WHG approvals
• IP67, 65/68 protection
The operation principle is based on the electronic circuit
exciting the fork probe making it vibrate. As the medium
reaches and covers the fork its vibration changes. The
electronics senses the change of vibration and gives
output signal after a selected delay.
