Terms & Conditions
The OPTISWITCH 3200 is a vibration level switch with suspension cable for solid applications such as high level alarm on aggregate silos. The flexible suspension cable avoids mechanical strain caused by movements of the bulk solids. It is suitable for applications with a low density (e.g. aerosol) or for the detection of solids in water (e.g. in sedimentation tanks of hydro-electric power stations).
Features & Options
- Abrasion resistant and highly robust tuning fork
- Simple setup without product
- Unaffected by changes of product properties (maintenance-free)
- Optional version to detect solids in water
- Remote housing up to 25 m / 82 ft
Typical applications
- Silos with light bulk goods
- Limit and overfill detection
- Detecting solids in water
