III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FUNCTION

The LP®II Series is an electronic, vibratory level control designed for use in powders and granular solids. A vibrating rod is

used to sense the presence of material.

The rod contains two piezoelectric crystal assemblies. The Piezo crystals convert electrical signals to mechanical

movement, and vice versa.

When material comes in contact with the rod it will cause a reduction in the level of vibration. If the reduction of the

vibration is greater than the set threshold determined by the sensitivity setting the alarm relay will turn ON or OFF

depending on the fail-safe settings.

APPLICATIONS

Unlike radio frequency and capacitance technology sensors, the LP II Series devices sense material using a mechanical

principle and are therefore not aected by the dielectric constant of the material. These are ideal sensors in plastics, dust,

shavings, and low-density powders and food. The rod is more often used in larger size materials such as gravel or pellets.

FEATURES

Universal input power; AC or DC (see specications for input ranges)

No calibration required

Adjustable time delay

Selectable fail-safe operation (high or low level)

Adjustable Sensitivity

IV. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The following precautions should be observed when installing and operating an LP II device:

• The installation and wiring of this product must comply with all national, federal, state, municipal and local codes

that apply.

• The LP II Series are precision devices - handle carefully to prevent damage to the rod.

• Do not allow moisture to enter the electronics enclosure. Conduit should slope downward from the LP II housing.

Install drip loops (or drain tting) and seal conduit with silicone rubber product.

• The resonant frequency of the rod is 400 Hz (±10%); locations subject to vibration frequencies greater than 100

Hz should be avoided.

CAUTION: WHEN MOUNTING UNITS, NEVER ADJUST THE ORIENTATION BY TURNING THE HOUSING. USE A

WRENCH FOR PROCESS FITTING UNITS, OTHERWISE A STRAP WRENCH SHOULD BE USED TO TIGHTEN INTO PLACE.

ATTEMPTING TO TIGHTEN THE UNIT BY ROTATING THE HOUSING OR ROD MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT

AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

CAUTION: WHETHER MOUNTING DIRECTLY THROUGH A SIDE WALL, OR PIPE EXTENDED AND

MOUNTED VERTICALLY THROUGH THE TOP OF A VESSEL, NEVER ATTEMPT TO MOUNT THROUGH

A FULL COUPLING.

WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT. REMOVE POWER FROM THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING, OR

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.

WARNING: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SAFE OPERATION IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, THE INTEGRITY OF THE

ALUMINUM CASTING AND THE ENVIRONEMENTAL SEALS MUST BE MAINTAINED. THE USER/INSTALLER

MUST AVOID INSTALLATIONS WHERE AGGRESSIVE SUBSTANCES MAY BE PRESENT AND COULD AFFECT THE

PERFORMANCE OF THESE MATERIALS. CARE MUST ALSO BE EXERCISED WHEN REMOVING AND REPLACING THE

COVER, SO NO MARRING, SCRATCHING OR DAMAGE OCCURS TO THE FLANGES, AND THAT FLANGE SURFACES

REMAIN COMPLETELY CLEANED OF DEBRIS.

WARNING: FOR UNITS INSTALLED IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, TO REDUCE THE RISK OF IGNITION OF HAZARDOUS

ATMOSPHERES, CONDUIT RUNS MUST HAVE A SEALING FITTING CONNECTION WITHIN 18 IN. OF THE ENCLOSURE.

WARNING: FOR PRODUCTS MARKED AS TYPE 4X, USE TYPE 4X HUB FITTING; FOR IP66 USE IP66 HUB FITTING.

GUIDELINES

6LVP180914 Rev. D

www.bindicator.com

The LP II unit must be located at the position where level indication is desired. The unit may be mounted through the top

or side wall of the vessel. To ensure reliable operation, observe the following guidelines when choosing the mounting

location.

If using a remote unit, remote turtle cannot be mounted more than 50 feet (15m) away from the probe.

DO NOT mount the unit in an area where the rod can contact the vessel.

The assembly must be horizontal or pointing downward. DO NOT mount the rod pointing upward. If the unit is to be

used with powders, it should be installed vertically, or at a downward angle that exceeds the angle of repose to

reduce material build-up (see gure 1).

Figure 1. Mounting Orientation

Do not mount the rod directly in the ow of material. If necessary, use a bae to protect the rod from falling material. The

bae should be placed 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) above the rod so that material will not become packed between the

rod and the bae (see gure 2).

Figure 2. Mounting In Relation To Flow of Material

YES

BAFFLE

CAUTION: THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DOWNWARD FORCE ON THE ROD IS 700 IN. LBS.

CAUTION: PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION REQUIRES THE UNIT TO BE SECURELY MOUNTED TO THE VESSEL AND

WRENCH TIGHTENED. THE COVER MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED WHEN POWER IS SUPPLIED.
