The working principle of vibrating fork level sensor is based on vibrating a tuning fork sensor continuously at its natural frequency and detecting the change of frequency and amplitude in the presence of application media. The monitoring process of given parameters depends upon type of application media.

Fork sensors (slot sensors) are and L-shaped through-beam object detecting sensors that have the transmitter and receiver built into the opposing "fork" arms of the sensor housing. Fork sensors offer advantages over standard through-beam sensors in certain applications.
