Self-Validating Level Monitor Warns of Failure


Elburn, IL - In bulk solids handling and processing the reliable monitoring of high level conditions in silos is an important aspect of inventory management and processing. If the level monitor fails to function properly, large costs due to overfilling of the silo can occur. This is why the SafePoint® self-validating point level sensor from Monitor Technologies is the best choice for all high level sensor applications in bulk solids worldwide.

The SafePoint® incorporates the patented use of Hall-effect technology, dual outputs to indicate both material presence AND unit health and microcontroller technology, along with the industry leading features of its standard rotary paddle point level monitor, to continuously protect powder and granular storage and processing from the effects of unknown sensor failure by providing immediate notification of a sensor failure and confirmation of proper operation.

Bulk solids processors worldwide use the SafePoint to reliably protect against overfilling. The SafePoint is a "true fail-safe" self-validating level sensor and can save maintenance and plant personnel time and help avoid the costs of these untimely spills and overfill conditions.

The SafePoint level sensor detects electrical and mechanical failure modes that might keep the unit from operating properly. The SafePoint is a relatively low cost fail-safe level sensor, around $300 US, with state-of-the-art electronics and patented technology, industry-leading screw-on/off cover, two conduit entrances, local indication and separate outputs to continuously monitor it's health status as well as the presence and absence of process material. It is designed specifically for applications with powders and other bulk solids, and can be provided with approvals for Class I and II hazardous areas and carries CSA (for North America) and ATEX certifications for these environments.

Monitor Technologies LLC is a leading pioneer in level measurement and monitoring instrumentation for the worldwide cement producing industry as well as other industries involved with the storage, processing and handling of powders and bulk solids. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2008, 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.
