ABB Measurement & Analytics Vibrating Fork Level Switch Resonator™ - RS85

Description
The resonant frequency is continuously monitored for changes created by a wet or dry sensor and an alarm is provided via relay. The RS85 should be used when the application requires optional process connections, exotic materials of construction, coatings, finishes or adjustable time delay and density set point.

Datasheet Summary
Powered by GS/AI

The RS85 is a vibrating fork level switch designed for liquid level detection in industrial applications, using a piezoelectric-driven tuning fork whose resonant frequency changes when immersed in liquid. It features built-in temperature compensation, LED status indicators, and a self-test function that detects sensor damage with a blinking red LED. The sensor is unaffected by coating unless the fork gap is bridged, making it suitable for viscous, aerated, or coating-prone fluids. The device outputs a relay signal based on level state and is mounted with a 3/4 inch NPT thread. Dimensions include a probe length of 11 inches (279 mm) and a fork tip trip point 3/4 inch from the end.
