The Gladiator Smart Vibration Switch is a third generation, state-of-the-art level probe, designed to operate in tough in-dustrial environments.

Principle of OperationsA stainless steel tuning fork is driven by piezo ceramic ele-ments, causing it to vibrate at its resonant frequency. When the material to be detected covers the fork, vibrations are damped. The changed vibration is sensed electronically, and the proc-essed signal is used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes.

Typical UsesFailsafe high-level/low-level alarmHigh-level alarmLow-level alarmInterface DetectionPump control

FunctionPoint level switch for liquids, solids and slurries.

The AC earth/ground cable must be connected to the ground screw inside the housing when using AC power.

If only one cable is used for bothpower and output signal, then the second entry port must be plugged or blinded. Every Smart unit is supplied with two M20 glands (or 3/4”NPT adaptors) mounted on the unit and one blind plug loose.

Mounting Examples

MountingProbes can be mounted from above or from the side.

Use a protection plate for side mounting where the probe may be subject to impact damage.

Install the Probe far enough away from the vessel wall to prevent the forks from coming into contact with the wall, and prevent build-up of product between the forks and the wall over time.
