Rosemount 2160 Wireless HART Vibrating Fork Liquid Level Switch
The Rosemount 2160 continuously performs instrument health diagnostics of the fork and sensor.
WirelessHART vibrating fork liquid level switch combines Emerson’s wireless expertise with the Rosemount 2100 series vibrating short fork technology. It has all the same features as the wired level switches in the Rosemount 2100 series, but without the complication and cost of wiring. Features include a complete range of process connections, aluminum housing, a choice of wetted parts materials, dry-to-wet and wet-to-dry switching functions, extended fork lengths, and hazardous area approvals.
The Rosemount 2160 continuously performs instrument health diagnostics of the fork and sensor. These diagnostics can detect external damage to the forks, internal damage to the sensor, excessive corrosion and over-temperature. The 2160 can withstand temperatures from -94 °F (-70 °C) up to 500 °F (260 °C) and pressures to 1450 psig (100 bar g).
The Rosemount 2160 wireless vibrating fork liquid level switch extends the full benefits of PlantWeb® to previously inaccessible or uneconomical locations due to the high cost of wiring in a wide variety of challenging applications.
