BinMaster - Model VRX61 -Vibrating Probe Level Sensor for High Temperatures
Replacing BinMaster’s SHT-120, the VRX61 vibrating probe level sensor for high temperatures is designed for use in harsh processing environments up to 480°F (250°C).
Its new feature—a bright, built-in LED status indicator—can be viewed from afar, turning from green to red based on whether material is or is not covering the probe and damping its vibration.
VRX61 exceeds in measuring low-dielectric bulk solids as light as 1.9 lb./ft.³ (30 g/liter) such as fly ash, flakes, or pellets. The sensor utilizes a 24 VDC or 115/230 VAC power supply.
The sword-shaped vibrating blade has a 7.25” insertion length into the vessel to detect high, mid, or low point-level conditions. It can be mounted at the top, side, or cone of a bin, tank, silo, or vessel with 1 1/2" NPT threads.
By providing reliable level alerts in high-temperature environments, users can keep workers safe from heated materials, reduce material waste, and know when to order more when material levels get too low.
BinMaster’s VRX61 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 VRX61’s die-cast aluminum power pac—rated NEMA Type 4X—features 3/4" NPT dual conduit entries, a screw-off cover, and USDA-approved powder coat finish. Its self-cleaning capabilities and rugged, heat-resistant design offer a long, dependable service life.
Additional configurations of the VRX61 are available to best fit your application, from extended probes to vibrating forks and more.

High-Temp Vibrating Rods: Point Level Detection to Nearly 500°F
The VRX61 and VRX71 high-temperature vibrating probes conquer process temperatures up to 482°F (250°C).
Need point level detection in extreme temperatures?
Handling heated powders like fly ash or carbon black?
A lagged design and insulation tube protects and distances electronics from excessive heat, providing durability and dependability.
Standard and extended models:
VRX61: Standard insertion length of 7.37" for top, side, or cone mounting
VRX71: Rigid pipe extension for top-mount applications, from 13” up to 13`
Vibrating rods succeed where other sensors struggle:
- Measures lightweight materials with bulk densities as low as 1.25 lb./ft.³
- Thrives in materials heated to high temperatures
- Offers high- or low-level indication, or plugged chute detection
Flexible features:
- Two sensitivity settings with no calibration needed
- Stainless-steel, single-rod probe resists buildup
- Universal power supply makes wiring easy
- Self-cleaning sensor is rugged and maintenance-free
High-temp vibrating probes withstand conditions that other level detectors cannot!
