Procedures and instructions in this manual may require special precautions to ensure the
safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential safety
issues is indicated by a caution symbol ( ). The external hot surface symbol ( ) is used
when a surface is hot and care must be taken to award possible burns. If there is a risk of an
electrical shock the ( ) symbol is used. Refer to the safety messages listed at the
beginning of each section before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious
injury.
• Protection afforded by compliance to EN61010-1 (2001) may be impaired if the
equipment is not used as specified.
• The Rosemount 2110 is a liquid level switch. It must be installed, connected,
commissioned, operated and maintained by suitably qualified personnel only,
observing any national and local requirements that may apply.
• Ensure the wiring is suitable for the electrical current and the insulation is suitable for
the voltage, temperature and environment.
External Surface may be hot.
• Care must be taken to avoid possible burns.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
• Do not remove the level switch while in operation. Removing while in operation may
cause process fluid leaks.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
• If the level switch is installed in a high voltage environment and a fault condition or
installation error occurs, high voltage may be present on switch leads and terminals.
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.

Switch Overview
The Rosemount 2110 is a liquid point level switch based on the vibrating short fork
technology. It is a compact switch with a rugged stainless steel body and forks for use in a
wide range of liquid applications. Economical 3/4-in. or 1-in. threaded mounting in pipes or
tanks or hygienic mounting for food industry use. Direct load switching suits all supplies or
PNP output for direct interface to PLCs. For use in safe area only.
Short Fork Technology
The natural frequency (~1300Hz) of the fork is chosen to avoid interference from plant
vibration which may cause false switching. This also gives short fork length for minimal
intrusion into vessel and pipe. Using Short Fork Technology, the Rosemount 2110 is
designed for use in virtually all liquid applications. Extensive research has maximized the
operational effectiveness of the fork design making it suitable for almost all liquids, including
coating liquids (avoid bridging of forks), aerated liquids, and slurries.
Rosemount 2110 Application and Mounting Examples
For most liquids including coating and aerated liquids and slurries, the function is virtually
unaffected by flow, turbulence, bubbles, foam, vibration, solid particles, build-up or
properties of the liquid.
For use in safe area and process temperatures up to 302°F (150°C).
Mount in any position in the tank or pipe. Mounting is by 3/4-in. or 1-in. threaded or hygienic
fitting.
Any substitution of non-recognized parts may jeopardize safety, repair, e.g. Substitution
of components, etc., may also jeopardize safety and is under no circumstances allowed.

Overfill Protection
Spillage caused by overfilling can be hazardous to people and the
environment, resulting in lost product, and clean up costs. The 2110 is a
limit level switch used to signal overfill at any time.
Pump Protection
Short forks mean minimum intrusion wetside and allow simple low cost
installation at any angle into your pipes or vessels. With the fork projecting
only 2-in. (50 mm) (dependant on connection type), the 2110 can be
installed in even small diameter pipes. By selecting the option of direct load
switching electronics, the 2110 is ideal for reliable pump control and can be
used to protect against pumps running dry.
High and Low Level Alarm
Maximum and minimum level detection in tanks containing many different
types of liquids are an ideal application for the 2110. The robust 2110
operates continuously at temperatures up to 302°F (150°C) and operating
pressure up to 1450 psig (100 barg) making it perfect for use as a high or
low level alarm. It is common practice to fit an independent high level alarm
switch to provide extra back up to the level switch in case of failure.
Leak Detection
Flanges, gaskets, seals, corrosive liquids – they all have the potential to
leak at the most inconvenient times. Many users site tanks and vessels
above trays or in containments to prevent any liquids from escaping. A
level switch can quickly and accurately detect any leakage and thereby
eliminating cost.
Pump Control
Many processes have batching and header tanks, and there is usually the
need to control a pump to maintain levels between set points. These tanks
are often manufactured from thin wall materials and cannot support the
weight of heavy instrumentation.
Hygienic Applications
With the option of highly polished forks providing a surface finish (Ra)
better than 0.8 µm, the 2110 meets the principle design criteria of the most
stringent hygienic requirements used in food and beverage, and
pharmaceutical applications. Manufactured in stainless steel the 2110 is
robust enough to easily withstand steam cleaning (CIP) routines at
temperatures up to 302°F (150°C).

Application Considerations
• Ensure liquid is inside the temperature and pressure ranges (see specifications).
• Check that the liquid is inside recommended viscosity range 0.2 to 10,000 cP.
• Examples of products with too high of viscosity is chocolate syrup, ketchup, peanut
butter and bitumen. The switch will still detect these products but the drain time can be
very long.
• Check that the liquid density is above 37.5 lb/ft3(600 kg/m3).
• Examples of products with too low of density is acetone, pentane and hexane.
• Check for risk of build-up on the forks.
• Avoid situations where drying and coating products may create excessive build-up.
• Ensure no risk of bridging the forks.
• Examples of products that can create bridging of forks are dense paper slurries and
bitumen.
• Check if solid content in liquid
• Problems may occur if product coats and dries causing caking
• As a guideline maximum solid particle diameter in the liquid is 0.2-in. (5 mm)
• Extra consideration is needed when dealing with particles bigger than 0.2-in. (5 mm),
