TF-600 Hirschmann Connection Tuning Fork Level Switch

JVLER TF-600 Series Tuning Fork Level Switch utilize the piezoelectric crystal and the inherent frequency of the fork to drive and signal feedback to the fork, the fork produces resonance. When the material level contacts the fork, it sends back a frequency signal, and when the circuit detects the frequency drop of this signal, it converts it into an output of a contact signal. The damping effect produced by the measured object covering the fork causes the vibration frequency of the fork to decrease and outputs a switch signal. Therefore, there is no signal amplification circuit inside, which eliminates the problem of frequently adjusting sensitivity due to changes in material properties. When the fork switch is used for low alarm (or low-level control) purposes, the medium in the container flows through the fork. When it is lower than a specific position of the fork, it causes a change in the inherent frequency, which is detected by the electronic component, thereby switching the output status. When used for high-level alarm (or high-level control) purposes, the medium in the container rises and contacts the fork, causing a change in the inherent frequency and switching to the output status.
