VRX41 – Vibrating Probe with Pipe Extension

BinMaster’s VRX41 vibrating probe level sensor with pipe extension has been revamped with a bright, built-in LED status indicator to make monitoring levels and plugged chutes easier than ever. The light can easily be seen from afar, appearing as red or green, and changing color based on if material is or is not covering the probe and damping its vibration.

VRX41 is mounted at the top of a bin, tank, silo, or vessel with 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" NPT threads. Its design features a rigid pipe extension that can be extended from 13” to 13’ (33.02 cm to 3.96 m) with a robust sword-shaped vibrating probe.

This durable design makes the VRX41 a great choice in environments where heavy materials are being measured. Like other vibrating probes, it outperforms other point level sensors in measuring low-dielectric materials such as powders, granules, and flakes as light as 1.9 lb./ft.³ (30 g/liter).

The sensor utilizes a 24 VDC or 115/230 VAC power supply and operates in temperatures up to 140°F (60°C). (High-temperature probe up to 284°F/140°C available)

By providing reliable level and plugged chute alerts, users can prevent overfilling their vessel and ensure materials are flowing as intended, reducing the risk of operational downtime due to blockages or obstructions.

VRX41 features DPDT relay contacts, allowing the user to preset two switching outputs—such as to “covered” and “uncovered”—plus configurable time delay settings and selectable fail-safe protection.

The VRX41 die-cast aluminum power pac—rated NEMA Type 4X—features 3/4" NPT conduit entries, a screw-off cover, and USDA-approved powder coat finish. Its robust design and self-cleaning capabilities offer a long, dependable service life.

VRX rigid extensions are made to order in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA to best fit your application.
