Optional
Hycar® Protective Cover Enhances Durability of
Diaphragm Level Switch
Elburn, IL - The optional Hycar® (rubber
nitrile) cover is designed to provide Monitor Technologies'
Binatrol® Model G series diaphragm level switch
with additional durability for use with more abrasive
dry materials. The Binatrol diaphragm level switch
is a reliable, low maintenance and cost-effective way
to monitor high, low and intermediate levels of powder
and bulk solids in storage bins, hoppers, silos, and
vessels. The diaphragm level switch can also be used
to detect plugged or backed-up conveyor chutes for
some applications.
The Binatrol® is a surface mounted, minimally intrusive switch that makes
it ideal for vessels limited in size or internal clearance. The Binatrol is installed
to allow its sensing diaphragm to be exposed to the material being detected. Bulk
material contacting the unit transfers force to an internal lever arm assembly,
which than causes the dry contact SPDT 15 Amp switch to be activated. Common
material applications for the Binatrol include grain, seed, wood chips, sawdust,
cement, powders, resins, pellets and more. Monitor offers a variety of diaphragm
bin level indicators that can be configured with various switch sensitivities,
diaphragm materials and approval ratings. Also, the Binatrol diaphragm
switch requires no input power. For more details, please visit www.monitortech.com ,

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.
