Insertable
Paddle Simplifies Installation of Bin Level Switch
Elburn,
IL USA – Monitor Technologies’ new
2-vane collapsible paddle is insertable from the outside
of a bin or silo through a 1-1/4” NPT or 1-1/2” BSPT
coupling. This stainless steel paddle assembly can
be used with Monitor’s SafePoint® fail-safe
and Model KA / KAX rotary paddle level switches. The “spring” action
of the paddle also allows it to be removed from the
same opening if needed. The 2-vane design and the 8.66” (220
mm) turning diameter allow the paddle to provide dependable
level indication for average bulk density materials.
This paddle can be used with level switches that are
mounted vertically or horizontally.

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.
