1.0
Introduction
The Solitel
Vibrating Rod Level Switch provides reliable
®
level detection of bulk solids and powders. This compact,
integral switch is suitable for high or low level detection
in hoppers and silos. It may also be used for plugged
chute detection.
The rugged, single-piece probe is suitable for use in a
variety of powders or granular materials with a minimum
bulk density of less than one pound per cubic foot.
1.1

Principle of Operation

The Solitel
®
rod vibrates at a 350 Hz frequency. When
media makes contact with the rod, the vibration is damp-
ened. The attenuation of the vibration is detected by the
integral mount electronics, changing the status of the relay.
