Level switch is available in EEx and flameproof versions
August 2002
Level Measurement & Control
Solartron Mobrey's short fork level sensor Squing 2 is now available in two new versions for use in hazardous areas. The explosion proof version is approved to ATEX II 1/2 G D and EEx d IIC T6. The IS version has the ATEX II 1 G D and EEx ia IIC T5 approvals. Both are ideal for use in a wide range of process, chemical and petrochemical applications.
Squing 2 is a compact, robust vibrating fork level switch. The fork assembly extends just 50 mm into the process pipe or tank, making it easy to install in a wide range of installations. The unit features a visible heartbeat LED that flashes continuously to give visual confirmation that the sensor is operational. Warning of any fault with the sensor is indicated by a change in the flash-rate. Nuisance tripping of the switch is avoided by use of the built-in user-selectable time delay function, which allows reaction time to be set within a range from 0,33 to 30 s, according to the application.
The new explosion proof and IS versions of Squing 2 are available with wet-sides in a variety of materials including 316L stainless steel and Halar/PFA copolymer coating for wide chemical compatibility.
