The Series LTS Tilt Switch Probes are able to sense either the presence or absence of
material when other sensors won’t work due to bin vibration, or actual walls aren’t available
for mounting other types of measuring units. The probes are designed for use where the
bulk material to be sensed is exposed or open. Typical applications include high or low level
detection in large hoppers, silos, crushers, or trippers, high level control under stackers, and
detection of plugged conditions at conveyor transfer points. Series LTS probes can also be
used to detect the presence or absence of bulk material on belt conveyors, on chutes to indicate
product flow, and to aid in loading rail cars or trucks.
All probe models are airtight, dust tight, and waterproof. The compact probe should be used
for applications involving small bins and hoppers where space is limited, while the heavy
duty probe should be used for applications where a heavy duty abrasion-resistant probe is
necessary.
