Designed to provide point-level detection in powders and bulk solids, VRX series vibrating-probe, level sensors feature an onboard status indicator light that changes from green to red when the probe changes from an uncovered to a covered condition. They use a piezoelectric element that vibrates until material contact dampens their signal, triggering a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) relay to alert users about full or empty conditions. Designed for high accuracy, minimal maintenance and resistance to buildup, VRX sensors are reported to be ideal for light, low-dielectric or difficult-to-measure materials.
Standard VRX probes are. Models include VRX21 with a compact, sword-shaped blade with 7.37-inch insertion that’s ideal for bins and hoppers. VRX31 is a sanitary model with 2-inch, tri-clover fitting for food and pharma use. High-temperature VRX61 model is for environments up to 500 °F.
Extended VRX probes include VRX41 with a rigid pipe extension up to 13 inches that’s ideal for deep vessels and plugged chute detection. VRX51 has a flexible, cable-extended probe up to 19 inches that resists damage from falling material, while VRX71 is for high-temperature environments.
