The SafePoint® rotary paddle level sensor with
a self-validating design detects material presence
plus continuously monitors its own ability to function.
This 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.
The hazardous location model of the SafePoint is a
practical solution for indoor grain hoppers and bins
or other confined storage areas that contain high levels
of dust.
Other features of the SafePoint include rugged construction,
twist On/Off cover for bolt free removal, motor shut-off
when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, and
local status indicating light (except hazardous location
model).

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.
