The SiloPatrol® SE inventory management
system for bulk solids storage is the best technology
choice for measuring the level and inventory of granular
materials like grains. This unit is the next
generation of smart cable-based level measurement sensors
and extends Monitor’s ability to provide the
most reliable bulk solids inventory management solution
at the best value for the grain storage, handling and
processing industries.
SiloPatrol SE uses time-proven weight and cable technology and combines Hall
effect sensing techniques (patent pending), microcontroller technology, state-of-the-art
optics and SMT (surface mount technology) to produce a rugged, reliable and accurate
measuring system in challenging extreme environments. SiloPatrol SE uses
the patent pending Hall effect sensing techniques to provide measurement diagnostic
information, allowing the SiloPatrol SE to make decisions ensuring accurate and
reliable measurements, even during harsh dynamic conditions.
Other advanced aspects of the SiloPatrol SE product line include a new split-compartment
enclosure to isolate electronics from the process, a relocated process seal for
fast and easy maintenance (if required), the availability of a standalone analog
transmitter version with automatic measurement updates, and an AC/DC pulse output
version. A programmable relay output for the analog output version is also
available. All versions are provided with a lockout input to inhibit measurements,
an industry best measurement resolution of 0.01ft (3mm), and a freeze-resistant
mounting flange. The unit is available for use in Ordinary and Hazardous
locations.
The SiloPatrol SE is the leader in level measurement of granular materials. Monitor

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.
