Vibracon LVL-B1, LVL-B2 Function and system design
Function and system design

Measuring principle A piezoelectric drive excites the vibrating rod of Vibracon LVL-B1, LVL-B2 to its resonance
frequency. If medium covers the vibrating rod, the rod's vibrating amplitude changes (the vibration
is damped). Vibracons electronics compare the actual amplitude with a target value and indicates
whether the vibrating rod is vibrating freely or whether it is covered by medium.

t t
A = amplitude
Measuring system Vibracon LVL-B* is a compact electronic switch.

Thus, the entire measuring system only consists of:
Vibracon LVL-B1 or LVL-B2 with FEM 22 (E5) or FEM 24 (WA) electronic insert
a supply point and
the connected control systems, switching units, signalling systems (e. g. lamps, horns, PCS,
PLC, etc.)

The connecting cables must withstand the ambient temperature +15 K.
Cable entries M20 x 1,5 (cable gland); NPT; G
Input
Measured variable Level (according to the mounting location and the overall length)
Measuring range The measuring range depends on the mounting location of Vibracon LVL-B* and the length of the
(application) pipe extension selected. The pipe extension is available in the following lengths:
500 mm, 1000 mm, 1500 mm, 20 in, 40 in, 60 in.
Input signal Probes covered ! small amplitude

Probe not covered ! large amplitude
Measuring frequency 700 Hz ... 800 Hz
Output
Galvanic isolation FEM 22 (E5): between sensor and power supply
FEM 24 (WA): between sensor, power supply and load
Switch behaviour binary
Power-on behaviour When switching on the power supply the output is set to "signal on alarm".
After a maximum of 3 s it switches to the correct output signal.
Fail-safe mode Minimum/maximum quiescent current safety can be switched at electronic insert.
Max. = maximum safety:
When the vibrating rod is covered, the output switches in the direction of the signal on alarm.
Used for overfill protection for example.
Min. = minimum safety:
When the vibrating rod becomes exposed, the output switches in the direction of the signal on
alarm.
Used for empty running protection for example.
Switching delay 0.5 s when the sensor is covered, 1 s when the sensor is exposed
