General Description
The VM series is designed for use in small hoppers up to 2 meter in height. This compact level sensor is suitable for bulk handling bins, hoppers, feeders, etc. It helps prevent hopper overflow, empty holding tanks, and plugged chutes.
Operational Description
The detection rod vibrates by installing piezoelectric element and acceleration pick-up mounted detection rod at the tip of the internal detection rod. The piezo-electric element provides vibration and the acceleration pick-up detects damps in the vibrational amplitude. Covered with solids dampens vibration of the detection rod. The electronic circuit detects the damping of these vibration and converts into the relay output.
