Siemens SITRANS LVS100 Series Vibrating Level Switch Vertical Mount Stainless Steel Housing LVS100

Siemens LVS100 Vibrating Level Switch is a vertically mounted sensor with stainless steel housing designed for detecting point levels of bulk solids in industrial applications. It operates by oscillating vibrating forks at their natural frequency, which changes when submerged in a material, triggering reliable detection. This device is ideal for dry bulk solids such as cement, lime, and flour found in bins, silos, and hoppers.

The LVS100 embodies high mechanical resistance, reducing maintenance needs and eliminating the requirement for calibration during commissioning. Its vibrating fork design ensures that the tines remain free of buildup and self-clean during operation, thus maintaining accuracy and reliability.

Operating between temperatures of -40°C to 150°C, this Level Switch supports both AC and DC input voltages, with a DPDT relay output compatible with 19 to 230VAC and 19 to 40VDC. The compact, rotatable enclosure provides flexibility in installation and wiring, suited for horizontal, vertical, or angled mounting arrangements. The standard extension length is 170 mm, with options available up to 4000 mm to accommodate different installation requirements.

This model includes a process connection of R 1 1/2in BSPT thread compliant with EN 10226 standards. It is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, certified to meet ATEX, FM, CSA, CE, and RCM requirements, making it highly suitable for industrial environments requiring strict safety standards.

Applications include bulk material storage and handling in industries such as chemical processing, construction, manufacturing, and agricultural sectors, where accurate and reliable level detection is critical for operational efficiency.

Detects high and low levels in bulk solids including cement, lime, and flour. Vibrating fork sensor oscillates at natural frequency to detect material presence. Minimal maintenance and no calibration required on commissioning.
