‘Fast drip’ forks
There is a variety of plug-in electronics options, with
each having an adjustable mode and switching delay
(see “Electrical connections” on page 12)
The Quick Release kit is a new optional set of accessories.
It makes inspection, proof-testing, and servicing easier than ever
(see Table 2 on page 9 for accessories)
Overview of the Rosemount 2120 Level Switch
Measurement principle
The Rosemount 2120 is designed using the principle of a tuning fork.
A piezo-electric crystal oscillates the forks at their natural frequency.
Changes to this frequency are continuously monitored. The frequency
of the vibrating fork sensor changes depending on the medium in
which it is immersed. The denser the liquid, the lower the frequency.
When used as a low level alarm, the liquid in the tank or pipe drains
down past the fork, causing a change of natural frequency that is
detected by the electronics and switches the output state.
When the Rosemount 2120 is used as a high level alarm, the liquid
rises in the tank or pipe, making contact with the fork which then
causes the output state to switch.
Key features and benefits
December 2017
Function virtually unaffected by flow, bubbles, turbulence, foam,
vibration, solids content, coating products, liquid properties, and
product variations
The Rosemount 2120 is designed for operation in process
temperatures from –40 to 302 °F (–40 to 150 °C)
A ‘heartbeat’ LED indicates its operating state. The LED also flashes
when the switch output is ‘off’ and is constantly lit when 'on'
Adjustable switching delay prevents false switching in turbulent or
splashing applications
‘Fast drip’ fork design gives quicker response time, especially with
viscous liquids. Rapid wet-to-dry and dry-to-wet time setting for
highly responsive switching
Fork shape is optimized for polishing to meet hygienic
requirements. Mechanical- and electro-polishing options.
Magnetic test point makes functional test easy
No moving parts or crevices for virtually no maintenance
In tank gauging systems, a Rosemount 2120
high level alarm switch can be used as an
alternative to a radar level gauge. See the
Rosemount Tank Gauging Product Data
Sheet for additional information.

Fit and forget
Once installed, the Rosemount 2120 is ready to go.
It needs no calibration and requires minimum installation
The ‘heartbeat’ LED gives an instant visual indication that the unit is operational
Functional testing of the instrument and system is easy with a magnetic test point
You can install, and forget it
Superior performance
The Rosemount 2120 is a popular choice for high and low level alarm and pump
control duties for its simplicity, ease of use, and reliability
Functionality is virtually unaffected by flow, turbulence, bubbles, foam, or vibration
The ‘fast drip’ design allows the liquid to be quickly drawn away from the fork tip
when mounted horizontally, making the Rosemount 2120 quicker and more
responsive in high density or viscous liquid applications
Rosemount 2120 Level Switch
With a user-selectable time delay feature, the risk of false switching is minimized in
turbulent or splashing applications
Applications
Overfill protection
High and low point level alarms

Before Removing
The LED flashes when the output is ‘off’ and is constantly lit
when it is ‘on’. The LED gives a constant indication that the
Rosemount 2120 is functioning correctly (different flash rates
are used to indicate a product malfunction) and gives a local
indication of the process state.
Magnetic test point
A magnetic test point is located on the side of the housing,

protection requirements by CSA, a nationally recognized
testing laboratory as accredited by the Standards Council
of Canada (SCC). Single process seal.
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) certification
The Rosemount 2120 is SIL2-certified, and is also SIL3 capable.
It has been independently certified to IEC 61508 as required by
IEC 61511. Certification was conducted by Exida.
If required, add “QT” to the end of the model code.
For example, 2120 D 0A K E1 X A0000 QT.
Drinking water approval
Rosemount Measurement Limited, Slough, UK confirms that the
wetted parts of the Rosemount type 2120 vibrating level
switches are suitable and approved for use in potable water.
The wetted parts of the vibrating level switches executed in:
Stainless steel (option code D) and Alloy C / Alloy C-276 (option
code C) with Flanged, NPT thread, BSPT(R) thread, or Tri Clamp
process connections, are in accordance with the requirements
of DVGW - Worksheet W270.The materials used are classified as
toxicologically and microbiologically safe.
