Function and system designVibracon LVL-B1, LVL-B2

Function and system design

Measuring principle A piezoelectric drive excites the vibrating rod of Vibracon LVL-B1, LVL-B2 to its resonance frequency. If medium covers the vibrating rod, the rod's vibrating amplitude changes (the vibration is damped). Vibracon’s electronics compare the actual amplitude with a target value and indicates whether the vibrating rod is vibrating freely or whether it is covered by medium.

A = amplitude

Measuring system Vibracon LVL-B* is a compact electronic switch.Thus, the entire measuring system only consists of:

• Vibracon LVL-B1 or LVL-B2 with FEM 22 (E5) or FEM 24 (WA) electronic insert• a supply point and• the connected control systems, switching units, signalling systems (e. g. lamps, horns, PCS,

PLC, etc.)

Cable specifications Vibracon LVL-B1, LVL-B2

Cable specificationsUse a shielded cable in the event of strong electromagnetic radiation.

Immunity to temperature change of connecting cableThe connecting cables must withstand the ambient temperature +15 K.

Cable entries M20 x 1,5 (cable gland); ½ NPT; G½

Input

Measured variable Level (according to the mounting location and the overall length)

Measuring range (application)

The measuring range depends on the mounting location of Vibracon LVL-B* and the length of the pipe extension selected. The pipe extension is available in the following lengths: 500 mm, 1000 mm, 1500 mm, 20 in, 40 in, 60 in.

Input signal Probes covered ! small amplitude

Probe not covered ! large amplitude

Measuring frequency 700 Hz ... 800 Hz

Output

Galvanic isolation FEM 22 (E5): between sensor and power supplyFEM 24 (WA): between sensor, power supply and load

Switch behaviour binary

Power-on behaviour When switching on the power supply the output is set to "signal on alarm".

After a maximum of 3 s it switches to the correct output signal.

Fail-safe mode Minimum/maximum quiescent current safety can be switched at electronic insert.

Max. = maximum safety:When the vibrating rod is covered, the output switches in the direction of the signal on alarm.Used for overfill protection for example.Min. = minimum safety:When the vibrating rod becomes exposed, the output switches in the direction of the signal on alarm.Used for empty running protection for example.

Switching delay 0.5 s when the sensor is covered, 1 s when the sensor is exposed

Ex specifications FEM 22 (E5), FEM 24 (WA):

Explosion protection for explosive dust-air mixtures: Dust-Ex, DIP
