PROPRIETARY NOTICE
The information contained in this publication is derived in part
from proprietary and patent data. This information has been
prepared for the express purpose of assisting operating and
maintenance personnel in the efficient use of the instrument
described herein. Publication of this information does not convey
any rights to use or reproduce it, or to use for any purpose
other than in connection with the installation, operation and
maintenance of the equipment described herein.
WARNING
This instrument contains electronic components that are
susceptible to damage by static electricity. Proper handling
procedures must be observed during the removal, installation, or
handling of internal circuit boards or devices:
Handling Procedure:
1. Power to unit must be removed prior to commencement of
any work.
2. Personnel must be grounded, via wrist strap or other safe,
suitable means, before any printed circuit board or other
internal devices are installed, removed or adjusted.
3. Printed circuit boards must be transported in a conductive
bag or other conductive container. Boards must not be
removed from protective container until the immediate time of
installation. Removed boards must be placed immediately in a
protective container for transport, storage, or return to factory.
Comments:
This instrument is not unique in its content of ESD (electrostatic
discharge) sensitive components. Most modern electronic
designs contain components that utilize metal oxide technology
(NMOS, CMOS, etc.). Experience has proven that even small
amounts of static electricity can damage or destroy these
devices. Damaged components, even though they appear to
function properly, exhibit early failure

Overview
The Gladiator Smart Vibration Switch is a third generation, state-of-the-art level probe, designed to operate
in tough industrial environments. The forks of the vibration switch are driven to vibrate like a ‘tuning fork’.
When material touches the forks, their vibration is changed and output will switch in response. The output has
adjustable hysteresis and delays for ‘on’ or ‘off’ switching.
A test function is available to remotely confirm the probe integrity by switching the relay contacts.
The Gladiator Smart Switch Series includes communications capability for remote adjustment, control
and monitoring.
• Suitable for a wide range of solids and liquids
• Simple ‘1-minute’ setup
• Heavy duty construction
• Remote sensor or Smart ‘all in one’ types
• Relay outputs: Smart probe (1) Remote (2)
• Remote test function

Point level switch for liquids, solids and slurries.
Primary Areas of Application
• Brewing
• Cement
• Chemical
• Dairy
• Edible oil

• Mining & Metals
• Oil & Gas
• Packaging
• Paint

Principle of Operation
A stainless steel tuning fork is driven by piezo ceramic elements, causing it to vibrate at its resonant
frequency. When the material to be detected covers the fork, vibrations are damped. The changed vibration is
sensed electronically, and the processed signal is used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes.

Mounting
Gladiator Vibration Smart Switch Series
Probes can be mounted from above or from the side
of a vessel..
Points to consider when mounting:
A. Material infeed clearance
Install the probe away from the infeed to minimize the
influence of build-up and impact forces, and to avoid
false triggering from product flow.
B. Wall clearance
Install the probe far enough away from the wall to
prevent the forks from coming into contact with the
vessel wall. Avoid creating a confined area where
material could build-up over time.
See note 
C. Nozzle clearance
Ensure that the probe forks do not come into contact
with the mounting nozzle.
D. Top mounting
When top mounting, ensure adequate clearance is
provided between forks and the wall. Avoid creating
a confined area where material could build-up over
time. In the case of cable probe versions, ensure
enough clearance is provided between the forks and
wall to allow for build-up of material occurring on the
wall.
See note 
E. Side mounting
It is highly recommended to install any side
mounted probe at a downward angle of 30-45º.
Use a protection plate for side mounting where the
probe may be subject to impact, strain or collapsing
material.
F. Bottom mounting
Bottom mounting is not recommended. Only mount
from the bottom if no build-up of material occurs. If
low level mounting is required, suitable options are
shown in the diagram on next page.
CORRECT MOUNTING NOTES:
(Refer to diagram on next page)
Select correct probe for high temperature
applications.
Allow adequate air flow for cooling extensions
dissipate heat.
INCORRECT MOUNTING NOTES:
Incorrect mounting because the probe is too close
to the wall or roof. Material may build-up between the
probe and the vessel.
Incorrect mounting because the probe is touching
the nozzle. The probe forks must not touch the nozzle
or any part of the vessel. Build-up must not bridge
from the forks to the nozzle, or between the forks.
Recommended <50mm (2”)
Correct Mounting in a Nozzle
min. 90mm (3.5”)
