Introduction

Measurement principles

The Rosemount™ 2521 Solids Level Switch uses the principle of a tuning fork and a piezo-electric crystal to oscillate the forks at their natural frequency. Changes to the oscillation frequency are continuously monitored by electronics which varies depending on whether the fork is covered or uncovered by a solids medium.

When the solids medium in the vessel (silo) falls away from the fork, it causes a change of oscillation frequency that is detected by the electronics and the output switches to indicate an 'uncovered' state.

When the solids medium in the vessel (silo) rises and covers the fork, it causes a change of oscillation frequency that is detected by the electronics and the output switches to indicate a 'covered' state.

The electrical output will vary depending on the electronics selected.

(1)

There are two adjustable settings, A and B on the electronics board. See Operating conditions for how the minimum density requirements are affected by the Fork Profile option codes.

(2)

A thermal extension cable or tube (temperature-extended shaft) moves the electronics further away from high process temperatures. Select this extension when ambient temperatures are greater than 104 °F (40 °C). See Operating conditions and Dimensional drawings for further information.

(3)

Not available when Thermal Profile code C is selected.

(4)

Available only when Thermal Profile code C is selected.

(5)

Please contact your local Emerson representative for the availability of this option.

(6)

Available only when Fork Profile code H is selected (for high sensitivity).

(7)

This option requires a 4-in. flanged process connection to be selected.

(8)

Available only when Fork Profile code S is selected (for standard sensitivity in wet and dry applications) and Product Certification code NA is selected. The potentiometer on the electronics board may then be used to fine-tune the sensitivity.

(9)

The sliding sleeve option requires an extended fork length.
