The VRX51 vibrating probe level sensor is a top-mounted point-level detector with a steel-rope reinforced flexible cable extension ranging from 19" to 19.5', terminating in a sword-shaped vibrating blade for detecting low-density bulk solids as light as 1.9 lb./ft³. It features a die-cast aluminum enclosure rated NEMA 4X with 3/4" NPT conduit entries and a USDA-approved powder coat finish. The sensor operates on 24 VDC or 115/230 VAC, uses a DPDT relay output rated at 5 A at 250 VAC, and supports process temperatures up to +500°F (+260°C). It is certified for C/US Class II Div 1 and IECEx-ATEX Zone 20, 21 hazardous locations. The probe design prevents material buildup and requires no calibration.
The VRX51 vibrating probe level sensor with flexible cable extension now includes a bright, built-in LED status indicator for monitoring bulk inventory levels and plugged chutes. The light can easily be seen from afar, changing color based on if material is or is not covering the probe.
The VRX51 is mounted in ordinary conditions, at the top of a vessel with 1 1/2" NPT threads. Its steel-rope reinforced cable can be extended from 19” to 19.5’ (48.26 cm to 5.94 m) into the vessel, ending in an attached sword-shaped vibrating probe.
This rugged, flexible cable resists damage, making the VRX51 a preferred choice in environments where material may fall onto or heavily impact the probe. Like other VRX models, the VRX51 outperforms other point level sensors in measuring low-dielectric solids as light as 1.9 lb./ft.³ (30 g/liter).
The VRX51’s die-cast aluminum power pac—rated NEMA Type 4X—features 3/4" NPT conduit entries, a screw-off cover, and USDA-approved powder coat finish. VRX flexible extensions are made to order in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA to best fit your application.
