FineTek SC174X Series User manual

The tuning fork level switch is a mechanical resonant device
which excited by piezoelectric (PZT) elements. When the
measured medium comes into contact with the tuning fork, it will
change the feedback resonant frequency due to the damping
resonances between the exciting PZT and receiving PZT. By
detecting the frequency and appropriately tuning the sensitivity
of tuning fork level switch on measured material, such device
can easily operate for monitoring the alarm level of measured
material.
1. Providing a universal power supply for operating in voltage
range of 20 to 250 (Vac / Vdc).
2. No calibration or complex setting procedure are needed,
robust, free of maintenance and operated in diversity
abominable environments.
3. High / Low fail safe modes provide user the safety
monitoring and real time communication.
4. Equipped with Remote Self-Testing function (RST) to
diagnostic the hardware connection with peripherals

Output Description
1. Make sure provide power supply (L+/N-) in range of 20~250
(Vac or Vdc,50/60Hz) and output relay (Relay or PNP/NPN
before wiring. Detail please see Fig-1 and Fig-2.
2. RT1 and RT2 are the testing points that easy user to verify
the situation. When the RT1 and RT2 are in electric short, it
means the measured material is in contact with the tuning
fork level switch. The Relay or PNP/NPN should be
activated. In examining the tuning fork level switch, user
will find it keep vibrating.
Fig-1. SPDT contact output model
Fig-2. DPDT contact output model
Refer to the Fig.1-Fig.2, all the wiring should adopt the 18
AWG standard isolation cable and it is compulsory to keep
from the dust in the housing and avoid of electric short. To
prevent the water or moisture penetrating into the housing,
please rotate the top lid in clockwise direction and make
sure it is tightly lock.

4. Be sure to obey the safe regulation of electric appliance for dangerous field when install and maintain.
5. Corrosive gas or liquid application isn't available for Aluminum & Stainless (SUS) material.
7. Customers can't change the internal components and have to check the outer.
6. The level of temperature class for explosion sign and its maximum allowed temperature relating to the medium as below:
1. There is an internal/external ground terminal in the housing. Please be sure to ground terminals when you use.
2. When install or maintain in the field, to comply with the caution "Open after power off"
3. Cable conduit should equip with explosion approval device (AD105DS). It can't be revised arbitrarily and have to lock
well.
Inlet
Horizontal Installation:
1. Can be applied in viscosity, powder, and liquid. Do
not install near substance inlet.
3. To be installed with the surface of two fork blades
facing each other horizontally.
Vertical Installation:
3
1. For detected medium of water (density 1g/cm ),the switching point is
located at the grooved part of fork, about 23mm from the end of fork.
2. Opening of the two fork blades is to be as the flow direction.
3. Do not install near substance inlet.
2. Conduit faces downward at installation.
For instance, turning the SENSITIVITY 10 turns counterclockwise (sensitivity L) and will get the acting point moving 30 mm
upward of the fork.
3
Factory default is calibrated (by water density 1g/cm ) and set the acting point at front end of tuning fork 23mm
For higher sensitivity need, user please turn the knob clockwise toward H and counterclockwise toward L for lower
sensitivity.
It will slightly moving upward or downward along the axis of fork while the sensitivity is changed. For example, the point
will move downward for H sensitivity and vice versa. The total movement range of acting point can be adjusted for around
60mm.
Sensitivity Adjustment/Calibration
(at the groove area) ( ) Fig-5.
Sensitivity knob located on the right side of the PCB board. It approximately allows 22 turns for sensitivity adjustment.
