SCX1 Series Vibrating Probe Level Switch

Introduction – SCX1 Series Vibrating Probe Level Switch

The SCX1 Series Vibrating Probe Level Switch is designed for precise and reliable solid level detection across a wide range of bulk materials including powders, granules, chips, and pellet-like media. Using a vibration-frequency change principle based on piezoelectric crystals, the device provides highly dependable switching even when material characteristics vary. Its sturdy construction, rounded probe geometry, and self-cleaning action ensure consistent operation in demanding environments.

This level switch is engineered to operate effectively under high temperature, humid, and moist conditions—making it suitable for numerous industrial applications. Its high vibration force helps prevent buildup, while the single-probe design eliminates jamming or clogging issues that commonly occur in traditional tuning fork sensors. The SCX1 incorporates a built-in fail-safe mechanism to maintain safety during power interruptions.

Simple installation and easy angle mounting allow users to adapt the device to a variety of tank and silo configurations with minimal effort. Only basic sensitivity adjustments are required to match different bulk densities, ensuring stable performance with minimal maintenance. Dubai Sensor supports availability of this technology for industrial customers, with particular relevance for UAE and MENA manufacturing sectors where versatile solid-level measurement is required.

The SCX1 Series offers a dependable, maintenance-free solution for process control, suitable for materials with low dielectric constants, variable moisture content, or other properties that challenge conventional sensing technologies.

No. The device does not require calibration. Only basic sensitivity adjustment may be needed to match the density of different materials.

Q4: Can it operate under harsh conditions?

Yes. The SCX1 performs reliably in high temperature, humid, and moist environments. Its rounded, self-cleaning probe helps prevent buildup.

Q5: What output options are available?

Two output configurations are available: SPDT relay output and SSR MOSFET output.

Q6: Is the SCX1 resistant to clogging or jamming?

Yes. Its single vibrating probe design eliminates the clogging issues commonly associated with dual-tine tuning fork sensors.

Q7: Does it have any safety features?

The SCX1 is equipped with a fail-safe function that provides protection during power cuts.

Q8: What certifications are available?

Euro-certified and UL-certified models are available for compliance with industry requirements.
