1.0 Introduction

1.1 Overview

Mobrey vibrating rod level switches are suitable for low and high level indication of granules and

powders with a minimum 0.05 kg/dm3density such as cement, lime, sand, grain, feed, sugar, etc.

Dust Ex versions are available for using the instrument in an explosion-proof environment.

The vibrating rod is a mechanical resonant system, excited and kept in resonance by an electronic unit.

The medium to be measured, when reaching the vibration rod end, will damp the vibration. The change

in vibration intensity is sensed by an electronic unit, which, upon the elapse of the delay time, actuates

the output circuit.

2.0 Installation

When installed in a potentially explosive atmosphere, reference should be made to IP4001/SI.

Prior to installation, it is advisable to check the switching function for proper adjustment on a sample

quantity of material (see “Adjustments” on page 6). The unit may not work with mediums that are within

the specified density range, but have very large granules or have too little friction.

Handle the device with great care, especially the sensing probe. Any impact on

the sensing probe may ruin its resonance system. A protective shield should be

installed (see inset, right) if the probe is exposed to falling material or an

excessive mechanical load.

Screw in the device by its hexagon neck. After screwing tight the process connection, the housing can be

rotated (up to maximum of 300°), to adjust the cable gland to the required position.

It might be necessary to install the device at an offset level position relative to the switching level actually

required, taking into account caving or arching of the material in the silo (see Figure 1-2).

With powder level detection, the device should be installed at an inclination exceeding the angle of

repose (or vertically in case of high level detection), to prevent powder deposition on the vibrating rod

that might substantially reduce the self-cleaning effect. Avoid mounting the rod in a recess (Figure 1-3)

Figure 1-3. Avoid Mounting Rod in Recess

In the case of tanks that are likely to be exposed to intense vibrations, necessary provisions shall be made

for damping the vibrations acting on the device (e.g. vibration damping inserts made of rubber have to

be applied).

3.0 Adjustments

Remove the top cover of the housing to access the connection terminals and adjusting switches.

In case of Dust Ex instruments, the housing cover can only be opened after the removal of the cover

securing clamp.

Do not remove the wire from terminal pin 1 (Figure 1-5 on page 7) as it is an internal connection.

For grounding the unit, use the PE grounding screw terminal PE.

After correct installation, the electrical connections established, the housing cover fitted and secured,

the device is ready for operation. The switched-on state is indicated by the lighting of the LED.

The DENSITY setting (switch A) is to be set in accordance with the material density:

LOW position

–Recommended for loose and light materials with density below 0.1 kg/dm3.

–Represents small energy and amplitude of vibration as well as great sensitivity of detection.

HIGH position

–Recommended for (thick and heavy) materials with density over 0.1 kg/dm3.

–Represents vibration with great energy and amplitude, and small sensitivity of detection.

The instrument may not switch correctly in mediums with a density of less than 0.05 kg/dm3or with very

small internal friction.

To obtain FAIL SAFE alarm (switch C), use the de-energized state of the output as an alarm. A power

breakdown will then also be considered to be an alarm (see Table 1-1 on page 7).

The delay (switch B) is to be selected to comply with requirements of the process control technology the

unit is used for. Standard (switching delay is ~5 seconds) or fast response (switching delay is ~2 seconds)

can be selected.

Note

When operating the switches, standard electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken to avoid

damaging the instrument.

The enclosure must not be opened when the equipment is electrically energized.

4.0 Maintenance

Mobrey Series VLS devices do not require maintenance on a regular basis. In some instances, however,

the vibrating section may need a cleaning from deposited material. This must be carried out gently,

without harming the vibrating section of the vibrating rod.

Repairs during or after the guarantee period are affected by Emerson. Equipment sent back for repairs

must always be cleaned or neutralized (disinfected) by the user.
