SafePoint® Rotary
Paddle Point Level has Automatic Failure Indication
In the processing, production and
storage of powders and bulk solids the reliable monitoring
of high level conditions in bins and silos is important. With
the SafePoint® rotary paddle point level indicator,
if a failure is detected an output will indicate that
this condition exists, providing you the warning needed
to prevent a spill. If a level monitor fails
to function properly, large costs due to overfilling
of the silo can occur. The costs can include
material loss, cleanup, lost production and even regulatory
costs. This is why the SafePoint® point level sensor
from Monitor Technologies is the best choice for powder
and bulk solid processors worldwide.
The SafePoint detects material presence
plus continuously monitors its own ability to function.
This monitoring 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 effects of unknown sensor failure
by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure
and confirmation of proper operation.
Other features of the SafePoint include
rugged construction, twist On/Off cover for bolt free
removal, motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded,
and local status indicating light (on most models).

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.
