Maximum and minimum level detection in tanks containing different types of liquids are ideal applications. The Rosemount 2120 Level Switch is robust and operates continuously across the process temperature range of –40 to 302 °F (–40 to 150 °C) and operating pressures of up to 1450 psig (100 barg), making it perfect for use as a high or low level alarm. It is common practice to have an independent high level alarm switch as a backup to an installed level device in case of primary failure.

Pump protection or empty pipe detection
With the fork projecting only 2 in. (50 mm) (dependent on connection type), the Rosemount 2120 can be installed in small diameter pipes. Short forks mean minimum intrusion on the wetside and allow for simple, low cost installation at any angle into pipes or tanks. By selecting the option of direct load switching or relay electronics, the Rosemount 2120 is ideal for reliable pump control and can be used to protect against pumps running dry.
Wireless applications
The advent of wireless communications allows process plant managers to save up to 90% on installation cost compared with wired technologies. More data can be collected at central locations than has ever been possible before. The Rosemount 2120 can be used with a Rosemount 702 Wireless Discrete Transmitter to enable these benefits for your applications.

1.3.2 Measurement principle
The level switch 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 level switch is used as a high level alarm, the liquid rises in the tank or pipe making contact with the fork and causing the output state to switch.
1.3.3 Short fork technology
The natural frequency (~1400 Hz) of the fork avoids interference from plant vibration that may cause false switching. This allows for minimum intrusion into the tank or pipe through the use of a short fork. Using short fork technology, the Rosemount 2120 Level Switch can be used in almost all liquid applications. Extensive research has maximized the operational effectiveness of the fork design, making it suitable for most liquids including coating liquids, aerated liquids, and slurries.

1.3.4 Special features
Heartbeat LED
The Rosemount 2120 Level Switch has a ‘heartbeat’ LED indicating its status, which can be seen at all times and from all angles through a lens in the cover of non-metal housings. The LED flashes when the switch output is ‘off’ and is constantly lit when 'on'.
Fork design
The “fast drip” fork design draws liquid away from the fork tips when mounted horizontally, and together with a short switching delay, allows the Rosemount 2120 Level Switch to react quickly and with greater sensitivity to density variations.
Mode switch and adjustable time delay
A mode switch allows the Rosemount 2120 to be set to switch from wet to dry (typically for low level alarm) or from dry to wet (typically for high level alarm). There is also a user-selectable time delay (0.3, 1, 3, 10, or 30 s) to virtually eliminate the risk of false switching in turbulent or splashing applications.
Magnetic test point
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4030, Rev FA
A magnetic test-point is located on the side of the housing, allowing the user to perform a functional test of the Rosemount 2120 and the system connected to it. Holding a magnet to the test-point causes the output to change state.
Electrical hookup
The terminal blocks extend above the housing and give easy terminal access. Electrical protections (see page 37) make electrical hook-up safe and easy.

1.4 Product recycling and disposal

Recycling of equipment and packaging should be taken into consideration. The product and packaging should be disposed of in accordance with local and national legislation.

2.1 Safety messages

Procedures and instructions in this manual may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a
caution symbol ( ). The external hot surface symbol ( ) is used when a surface is hot and care must be taken to avoid possible burns. If there is a risk of an electrical shock, the ( ) symbol is used. Refer to the safety messages listed at the beginning of each section before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
Installation
December 2016
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.Use the Rosemount 2120 Level Switch (“level switch”) only as specified in this manual.
Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
The weight of the level switch with a heavy flange and extended fork length may exceed
37 lb. (18 kg). A risk assessment is required to be done before carrying, lifting, and installing the level switch.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Do not remove the level switch cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.The level switch cover must be fully engaged and locked to meet explosion-proof requirements.Verify the operating environment of the level switch is consistent with the appropriate hazardous
locations certifications.
Review Appendix B: Product Certifications for special conditions and safety instructions
associated with a hazardous location installation.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
If the level switch is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault or installation error occurs,
high voltage may be present on the sensor leads and terminals.
Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.Make sure the main power to the level switch is off and the lines to any other external power
source are disconnected or not powered while wiring the level switch.
Ensure the wiring is suitable for the electrical current and the insulation is suitable for the voltage,
temperature, and environment.

External surfaces may be hot.
Care must be taken to avoid possible burns. The flange and process seal may also be hot at high
process temperatures. Allow to cool before servicing.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Install and tighten process connection before applying pressure.Do not attempt to loosen the process connection while the level switch is in service.Make sure that the level switch is handled carefully. If the process seal is damaged, gas might escape
from the tank.

2.2 Considerations before installation

Important Emerson is not in a position to evaluate or guarantee the compatibility of the process fluid or other process parameters with the product, options, configuration or materials of construction selected.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4030, Rev FA
2.2.1 Safety considerations
Safety instructions and control drawings specific to hazardous area installations are in
Appendix B: Product Certifications, and there are safety instructions in the Rosemount 2120 Quick Start Guide (see Emerson.com/Rosemount for other language versions). These safety instructions also include
general safety information.
2.2.2 Environmental considerations
The Rosemount 2120 Level Switch (“level switch”) is available as Intrinsically Safe (IS) or explosion-proof/flameproof versions for hazardous area installations. There are also ordinary location versions for unclassified, safe areas. Approvals are listed in Appendix B: Product Certifications.
This level switch is designed for detecting liquids in open or closed tank, and pipe installations. It is weatherproof and protected against the ingress of dust, but must be protected from flooding. Avoid installing the level switch near heat sources.

00809-0100-4030, Rev FA
2.2.3 Application considerations
For most liquids, including coating, aerated liquids and slurries, the function is virtually unaffected by flow, turbulence, bubbles, foam, vibration, solid particles, build-up, or properties of the liquid.
The level switch operates in process temperatures of –40 to 302 °F (–40 to 150 °C), and can be mounted in an open or closed tank, or a pipe. There is a wide range of threaded, flanged, and hygienic process connection options. See Figure 1-1 on page 2 for application examples.
Important There must be no risk of ‘bridging’ the forks (see Figure 2-2). Examples of media that can create ‘bridging’ of forks are dense paper slurries and bitumen.
Figure 2-2. Avoid Product Build-up
Installation
December 2016
Installation
Application guidelines
Ensure the process is operating within the level switch operating temperature and pressure ranges
(see “Specifications” on page 35).
Ensure the liquid viscosity is within the recommended range (see “Specifications” on page 35).Check that the liquid density is higher than 37.5 lb/ftLiquid density affects the switchpoint e.g. dry-to-wet (see Figure 2-3 on page 8).Check for risk of coating build-up on the forks.
Avoid situations where drying and coating products may create excessive build-up. Problems may occur if the product coats and then dries, causing caking.
Check the solids content in the liquid.
As a guideline, the maximum solid particle diameter in the liquid is 0.2 in. (5 mm). Extra consideration is needed when dealing with particles bigger than 0.2 in. (5 mm). Consult the factory for advice.
In almost all cases, the level switch is insensitive to foams (i.e. does not see the foam).
However in rare occasions, some very dense foams may be seen as liquid; known examples of this are found in ice-cream and orange juice manufacturing.

Note
When mounted vertically, a low density media has a switching point closer to the process connection. A high density media has a switching point closer to fork tip.
2.2.4 Installation considerations
For dimensional drawings, see “Dimensional drawings” on page 39.
Device identification
To identify the Rosemount 2120 Level Switch version, see the labels on the housing and on the electronics cassette inside the housing. See Appendix B: Product Certifications for approval information.
Allow adequate space outside tank or pipe
Mount the level switch so that it is removable. Clearance of 1.2 in. (30 mm) is required for cover removal. Ensure there is sufficient room for electrical connections. The glass-filled nylon housing can be rotated to assist with the cabling, but the metal housings cannot be rotated.
Fit the cover correctly
Ensure the housing O-ring is sitting evenly and then tighten the housing cover to form a good seal. Always use Emerson O-rings.

Installation
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4030, Rev FA
Grounding on metal housings
Always ground the housing in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
The most effective grounding method for the metal housing is a direct connection to earth ground with minimal impedance. Housings with NPT conduit entries do not have an earth ground point and must use the fork earth.
Do not change the level switch
Do not change the level switch fork in any way (Figure 2-4).
Figure 2-4. Do Not Change the Level Switch Fork
Installation
December 2016
How to handle the level switch
Handle the level switch with great care.
The weight of the level switch with a heavy flange and extended fork length may exceed 37 lb. (18 kg). A risk assessment is required to be done before carrying, lifting, and installing the level switch.
Use both hands to carry the extended length versions, and do not hold using the forks (Figure 2-5 on
page 10). For hygienic applications, the level switch must be hygienically cleaned before installation and
handled in strict accordance with hygienic standards.
Hygienic installation
See “Hygienic installations” on page 62 for the hygienic approvals and compliance requirements. These requirements are also in the Rosemount 2120 Quick Start Guide for other language versions).

2.2.5 Installation recommendations
Test the system by using the magnetic test-point (see “Magnetic test point” on page 28).Avoid installing near to liquid entering the tank at the fill point.Avoid heavy splashing on the forks. Increasing the time delay reduces accidental switching.Allow for a sufficient distance between product build-up and fork (see Figure 2.2.4 on page 8).Ensure the installation does not create tank crevices around the forks where liquid may collect.
This can happen with high viscosity and high density liquids.
Extra consideration is needed if the plant vibration is close to the 1400 Hz operating frequency
of the level switch.
Supporting the extended fork avoids long fork length vibration
(see Figure 2-6 on page 11 or Figure 2-7 on page 12, depending on installation).

3.8 Replacement and calibration of electronic cassettes

When replacing a damaged or faulty electronic cassette, calibrate the replacement cassette to the operating frequency of the fork assembly.
This section describes what is required for calibration. Calibration sequence steps 3 to 13 are time dependent and must be carried out within the noted times. The purpose of the time dependency and switching sequence is to prevent an accidental calibration from occurring.
If this replacement is taking place in a hazardous area, only qualified personnel should perform the replacement. All work in hazardous areas must be carried out in accordance with the local code. For general hazardous area requirements of this equipment, refer to Appendix B: Product Certifications.
Calibration of the device is complex and it may take several attempts before calibration is successful.
3.8.1 Replacement sequence
On Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) approved versions of the Rosemount 2120 Level Switch, it is recommended that replacement and calibration be performed in a non-hazardous (safe) area.
Note
Intrinsically Safe approved cassettes can only be replaced with the same type of IS cassette. Non-I.S. cassette types can be interchanged with other non-I.S. cassettes, but a new label must be fitted and the original part number transferred to the new label. Before starting the replacement and calibration procedure, ensure that any controlled process will not be adversely affected.
To replace the cassette
1. Isolate and disconnect the power to the Rosemount 2120 Level Switch, and insulate the ends of the wires. On units with a relay cassette, there may be more than one power source.
2. Remove the cover and disconnect the wires, noting any connections (Figure 3-5) and the exact mode switch position (Figure 3-6 on page 32) on the cassette to be replaced.
3. Remove and retain the two fixing screws from the base of the cassette and unplug the cassette.
4. Plug in the replacement cassette, replace the screws, reconnect the wires, and set the mode switch to “Wet On” with a one second delay (Figure 3-7 on page 32).
5. Reconnect the power to the unit.

3.8.2 Calibration sequence
To calibrate the cassette
1. Ensure that the forks are dry, and the mode switch is set to “Wet On” with the time delay set to 1 second (Figure 3-7).
2. Check that the LED is flashing at a rate of one flash per second. Proceed to step 8 if it is on continuously.
3. Apply a magnet to the test-point (as shown on page 28).
4. After a one second delay, the LED will be lit continuously.
5. Within once second, rotate the mode switch two steps clockwise.
6. After a two second delay, the LED will go out.
7. Within three seconds, rotate the mode switch two steps counter-clockwise. Proceed to step 13.
8. Apply a magnet to the test-point (as shown on page 28).
9. After a one second delay, the LED will flash at a rate of one flash per second.
10.Within one second, rotate the mode switch two steps clockwise.
11.After a two second delay, the LED will go out (stop flashing).
12.Within three seconds, rotate the mode switch two steps counter-clockwise.
13.After a two second delay, the LED should flash twice per second.
14.If the LED is flashing twice per second, the calibration has occurred correctly. Remove the magnet from the test point. After a one second delay, the unit will return to normal operation. Proceed to step 17.

Service and Troubleshooting
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4030, Rev FA
15.If the LED is flashing once per second or it is on continuously, the calibration has failed. Remove the magnet from the test-point, wait ten seconds, and repeat from step 2.
16.If the LED stays off after the two second delay of step 13, the sensor is not working correctly. Check that the forks are clean and dry. Also, verify there is nothing jamming or touching the sensor. If no fault is found with the sensor, the entire unit should be returned for repair (see “Product recycling and disposal” on page 4).
17.Set the mode switch to the original setting noted in Figure 3-6 and wait five seconds.
18.Replace the cover and check that the system works.
