Sensor Used for Material Presence/Absence
Detection in Tight Spaces
Elburn, IL -- Monitoring material
presence and absence in small bins, tanks and hoppers
can often be challenging when the space is limited
and the vessel size very small. For this reason
Monitor Technologies is please to introduce its AC
and DC Capacitive Proximity Switches. These units
are 30mm in diameter and easily mount in all types
of metallic vessels and can be used to monitor the
level or material absence and presence of a wide variety
of materials. These compact sensors are designed
specifically for non-hazardous areas and compact spaces.
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.
