Gladiator G1 Microwave Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationA high power circular polarized Microwave pulse is emitted from the Sending unit to the Receiving unit in a transmission chain of approximately 100 pulses per second. If the path between the Sender and Receiver is blocked by any object or material which absorbs or reflects microwave energy the Receiving unit will no longer detect the complete transmission chain and indicate via Relay for automatic indication and process control requirements.

Gladiator G3 Microwave Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationA beam of microwave energy passes from a sender unit to a separate receiver in bursts approximately 0200 times per second. If the path between the sender and receiver is blocked by any object or material which absorbs or reflects microwave energy, then the receiver will not be able to detect the signal. The presence or absence of the signal at the receiver is used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes.

Gladiator Acoustic Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationThe Gladiator Acoustic Switch uses Acoustic Wave technology in a new Sender / Receiver form for blocked chute detection and anti-collision for heavy machinery. The Gladiator Amplifier powers two AW Transducers which use special HAWK developed software where both units pulse and receive each otherÍs Acoustic echoes. When the path between the Transducers is blocked, the units immediately detect the presence / absence change of the return signal and trigger a communications relay for indication or control purposes. The Transducers work both together and independently to detect pulse interference giving twice the application security. HAWKÍs Acoustic Wave Transducers are self cleaning. The Acoustic Switch is designed for continuous operation in dusty, wet environments where other technologies fail. The power of each pulse (pressure wave) blows the water, moisture and build-up off the face of the diaphragm.

Gladiator Vibration Smart Switch Series
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationA 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.

Vibranivo Vibrating Level Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationThe piezo-electrically stimulated oscillating fork vibrates
at its mechanical resonance frequency. If the probe is
covered by the bulk material, the damping thus generated is
registered electronically and a corresponding signal output
is actuated.
The oscillation of the fork ensures a certain self-cleaning.

Gladiator Admittance Level Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationThe probe of the Admittance Level Switch forms one plate of a capacitance circuit, with the vessel wall making the second plate. The dielectric constant of the product between the probe and the vessel wall will cause a change of capacitance as the level approaches the probe. The change is detected, amplified and used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes. A special circuit is used to ignore product build-up between the sensing probe (active element) and guard, and also between the guard and vessel wall.

Gladiator Conductivity Level Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationA low voltage AC signal is applied between the probe electrode and the tank wall or reference electrode in the case of a non-metallic tank. When the liquid comes into contact with the electrode tip, a conductive path is established between the sense electrode and the metallic tank wall/reference electrode. Current flow due to the conductive path is sensed, amplified and used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes.
RS4000 Rotation Switch Series
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of Operation The rotating measuring vane is driven by a brushless synchronous motor. Once the material level reaches the vane, it stops rotating, which is detected by a micro switch to stop the motor and switch the level output. Once the material level begins to fall and the vane is free of material the motor will restart and the vane will rotate again. Certifications ATEX II 1/2D Ex tD A020/021 and FM DIP Cl.

Rotonovio Rotating Paddle Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationA measuring vane is driven by a synchronous motor. The bearing of the motor inside the housing allows it to swing. The motor is fixed to a switching lug.
If the vane is uncovered, a spring pulls the motor and switching lug to the left position (figure 1).
When material covers the vane and thus stops the rotation, the motor and switching lug swings to the right position (figure 2). The signal output indicates \"covered\" and the motor is stopped. When the vane becomes uncovered due to falling material, the spring pulls the motor and switching lug back to the left position. The motor is started and the signal output indicates \"uncovered\".

RFnivo 3000 Capacitive Level Switch
Actualizado: 2024-01-02
Principle of OperationThe RFnivo is normally screwed into the lateral container wall at a position, where the material shall be measured. The device can also be mounted from the top of the container. In this case an extension piece is used to mount the probe level with the height to be measured.
The length of the probe can be up to 2.5m (98.4\") with rod extension or 020m (787\") with rope extension.
The use of a sliding sleeve is recommended so that the switch point can be changed continuously during operation of the device.
