SafePoint^®
"True" Fail-Safe Level Switch

The SafePoint rotary paddle level switch with a self-validating design detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability to function. The analysis includes sensor health and system power failure, which makes the SafePoint truly “fail-safe”. The SafePoint incorporates patented use of Hall-Effect technology, dual outputs to indicate both material presence and unit health, and microcontroller technology to continuously protect bulk solids processing and storage from the consequences of unknown sensor failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure and confirmation of proper operation.

Other practical features of the SafePoint include rugged construction, motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, twist On/Off cover for bolt free removal, and local status indicating light (except hazardous location models)

A practical application for the SafePoint would be to use this "true" fail-safe product if undetected sensor failure could result in a catastrophic process problem.
