Overview of the Rosemount 2160 Wireless Level Switch

Measurement principle

The Rosemount 2160 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
the fork, causing a change of natural frequency that is detected by the
electronics and switches the output state to ‘dry’.

When the Rosemount 2160 is used as a
tank or pipe, making contact with the fork which then causes the output state
to switch to ‘wet’.

low level alarm, the liquid in the tank or pipe drains down past

high level alarm, the liquid rises in the

Key features and benefits

 Virtually unaffected by turbulence, foam, vibration, solids content,

coating, or liquid properties

 The high temperature version of the Rosemount 2160 is designed for

operation in temperatures from –94 to 500 °F (–70 to 260 °C). It has a
stainless steel thermal tube to move the electronics away from the
process

 Electronic self-checking and condition monitoring, and alerts using a

Field Communicator or AMS Device Manager.

 Software adjustable switching delay prevents false switching in turbulent

or splashing applications

 Wireless and encrypted digital communication of the switch output state

and other variables

 Optional integral LCD for indicating the switch output state and

diagnostics

 ‘Fast Drip’ fork design gives quicker response time, especially with

viscous liquids. Rapid wet-to-dry time for highly responsive switching

 Fork shape is optimized for hand polishing to meet hygienic

requirements

 No moving parts or crevices for virtually no maintenance

High and low level alarm

AMS Device Manager

In tank gauging systems, a Rosemount 2160 high level
alarm switch can be used as an alternative to a second
radar level gauge (see the Rosemount Tank Gauging
product data sheet 00813-0100-5100 for details)

Point level alarm

Rosemount 2160

Rosemount

5900S

Level

High level alarm: two separate
and configurable relay outputs

For optimal performance, every wireless HART network should have a
minimum of five devices and every device should have a minimum of three
neighbors within effective range of the wireless gateway

Superior diagnostics

 Built-in diagnostics continuously check electronic and mechanical

health

 Fork conditions detected including internal and external damage,

coated or blocked, and extreme corrosion

 Ideal for critical alarm duties

Fit and forget

 Once installed, the Rosemount 2160 is ready to go.

It needs no calibration and requires minimum installation

 You can install, and forget it

Wireless power module

 The Rosemount 2160 is powered by a replaceable wireless Power

Module

 The fork sensor requires very little power, and the Power Module life

remains long even with fast update rates

Extended temperature performance

 The high temperature version of the Rosemount 2160 enables

™

standardization of Emerson’s
range of process environments, and is ideally suited for harsh
conditions where high reliability is essential
