Dusty-Dirty-Hot-Nasty – Extreme
Conditions, No Problem
Elburn,
IL –Monitor Technologies LLC is
pleased to introduce the SiloPatrol® SE, the Second
Edition of its industry leading SiloPatrol® inventory
management system for bulk solids storage! The
SiloPatrol® SE is the next generation of 21st
century 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, even in the most harsh
and dynamic of conditions.
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.
A choice of operator interface exists, including the latest generation of SiloTrack™ inventory
management software, Version 3.5, now ready to interface with Monitor’s
line of Flexar™ guided wave radar level sensors as well as the new SiloPatrol
SE sensors.
According to Joe Lewis, Vice President - Marketing & Sales, “with decades
of experience in cable-based technology our customers have come to expect industry
leading technology and service from Monitor even in the most difficult environments. The
SiloPatrol SE is no exception.”
Monitor Technologies LLC is a leading supplier of level, flow, particle emission
and aeration instrumentation for the worldwide powder and bulk solids market.
The experience and market knowledge gained over five decades has earned Monitor
a reputation for providing high quality and reliable product solutions. Monitor
is located in Elburn Illinois, give us a call today and let us put our creative
solutions to work for you!
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.
