PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The SC series is a vibrating tuning fork point level sensor that utilizes piezoelectric crystal and solidstate
electronics technology to produce vibration in the tuning fork element at a specific frequency and receive
electronic feedback. When the probe element is in contact with the target material, the vibration is dampened,
the electronic feedback changes, and presence of the material is thereby sensed by the electronics which
changes the state of the sensor output to indicate material presence. When the probe element is again free of
the target material, the vibration again is produced and the output state reverts to indicate material absence.

The SENSITIVITY is located on the right side of the panel. Minor
adjustment can be made by rotating the sensitivity up to 22 turns

The sensitivity is originally set at max. value. The switching point Level
is at 15mm from the tip of the tuning fork.The switching point
position will be changed by the sensitivity value. If the sensitivity

SC28 MINI-TYPE DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES

MAGNETIC TEST
After the switch is installed and powered, magnetic
test function can be performed accordingly. The
testing point is marked on the housing label. User
holds the magnet and moves it close to testing
point, the output status will switch from NO. to NC.
or NC to NO. and red LED would switch ON or
OFF while fork continues to vibrate. When magnet
is pulled away from the testing point, the output
status and red LED would return as default while
fork continues to vibrate. The purpose of testing is
to confirm the wiring and functioning are correct.

SC28 MINI-TYPE DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES

OUTPUT STATUS FOR RELAY

Low (Min.) Mode: Tuning fork switch will be active after 3 seconds while power on. Relay is on
NO status and red LED indication is off. When tuning fork is covered by testing medium, the vibration will
stop and relay becomes NC status. Red LED indication then is on.
High(Max.) Mode: Tuning fork switch will be active after 3 seconds while the power on. Relay is on NC
status and red LED indication is on. When tuning fork covered by testing medium, the vibration stops
and relay becomes NO status. Red LED indication is on.
Flashing red indicates abnormal: Possible causes overloads or short-circuit load back, equipment
malfunction or wear tuning fork probe.

SC38 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TUNING FORK LEVEL SWITCH
DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES

FORK TRIGGER POINT

The position of the SC38 fork trigger point depends on the mounting position as shown in the figure below:
(When the testing medium is water, S.G.=1 g/cm3, distance of the trigger point is 13mm). If the testing
medium has an S.G lower than 1g/cm3, the trigger point would rise. Similarly, the trigger point will move
downward while the S.G is greater than water. The moving distance is subject to the S.G.
※Operating point position:

DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST BUTTON

This button is mainly provided for the user to check whether the output operation works normally after the
installation is completed. When the button is pressed, the output current (8mA<->16mA) and indicator
(ON<->OFF) will be reversed. Once the button is released, it will recover the original status.

FUNCTION OF CUSTOMIZED OPERATION POINT POSITION

SC38 provides the function of customizing the operation point position according to what is required by the
user.

Empty Bin Operation Point

General Mode Calibration Mode
Calibration Calibration

Settings
1.Keep pressing “Calibration Button” for 3 seconds. When the red and green LED indicators flash every 0.5
second, it enters the calibration mode. Press the calibration button again to enter the Empty Bin Calibration
mode.
[Empty Bin Calibration]
2.Calibration status: The red LED indicator flashes every 0.5 second, and the output current switches to
operate every 0.5 second (8<->16mA).
3.This mode is to calibrate the vibration frequency of the tuning fork in the air. Press “Calibration Button”
when the tuning fork doesn’t touch any material. The unit will record the vibration frequency in the air, and
enter the operation point calibration mode.
[Operation Point Calibration]
1. Calibration status: The red LED indicator flashes every 0.25 second, and the output current switches to
operate every 0.25 second (8<->16mA).
2. Cover the material to the desired operating point position under this mode, and then press “Calibration
Button”. It will be adjusted to the corresponding operating point position according to the H/L setting of the
S.G.
