Figure 1-2. Rosemount 2130 Application Examples
Overfill Protection
Spillage caused by overfilling can be hazardous to people and the environment, resulting in
lost product and potentially high clean up costs.
High and Low Level Alarm
Maximum and minimum level detection in tanks containing different types of liquids are ideal
applications. The Rosemount 2130 is robust and operates continuously across the
temperature range of –94 to 500 °F (–70 to 260 °C) and operating pressures of up to 1450 psig
(100 barg), making it perfect for use as a high or low level alarm. It is common practice to have
an independent high level alarm switch as a backup to an installed level device in case of
primary failure.
Pump Control (Limit Detection)
Batch processing tanks often contain stirrers and agitators to ensure mixing and product
‘fluidity’. The standard user selectable time delay, from 0.3 to 30 seconds, virtually eliminates
the risk of false switching from splashing.
Pump Protection or Empty Pipe Detection
With the fork projecting only 2 in. (50 mm) (dependant on connection type), the 2130 can be
installed in small diameter pipes. Short forks mean minimum intrusion on the wetside and
allow for simple, low cost installation at any angle into your pipes or vessels. By selecting the
option of direct load switching electronics, the 2130 is ideal for reliable pump control and can
be used to protect against pumps running dry.
Extreme Temperature Applications
The 2130 is designed for extreme temperatures and is suitable for continuous operation within
the temperature range of –94 to 500 °F (–70 to 260 °C).
Wireless Applications
The advent of wireless communications allows process plant managers to save up to 90% on
installation cost compared with wired technologies. More data can be collected at central
locations than has ever been possible before. The 2130 can be used with a Rosemount 702
Wireless Transmitter to enable these benefits for your applications.
Hygienic Applications
With the highly polished forks option providing a surface finish (Ra) better than 0.8 µm, the
2130 meets the most stringent hygienic requirements used in food and beverage, and
pharmaceutical applications. Manufactured in stainless steel, the 2130 is robust enough to
easily withstand steam cleaning (CIP) routines for temperatures up to 500 °F (260 °C).
