July 2010: SafePoint® "Truly" Fail-Safe Rotary Paddle Level Switch
Haz Loc Version of SafePoint® Level Sensor is a
Practical Solution for Indoor Grain Hoppers
& Other Confined Storage Areas
Safe Point Bin Level Switch_HazLoc

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.
