Level switch for ATEX hazardous-area tank control (PVC, PP, PVDF)

MULTIPOINT V-F ATEX E

Level switch for hazardous-area tank control in PVC, PP or PVDF, certified CESI 03 ATEX 272 Ext.2, with up to 6 switch points, 5 m length, 6 bar working pressure and IP67 protection.

Introduction

Hazardous-area tanks with flammable products need level control that fits the medium and the installation. This level switch is used for liquids or fuel in underground and outdoor tanks and is certified CESI 03 ATEX 272 Ext.2 II 1/2G Exdb IIB T5/T6 Ga/Gb.
 
PVC, PP and PVDF versions give the product family a practical material choice for plastic-based tank applications. The magnetic reed contacts sit inside the measuring rod and are actuated by one or more floats, with the float as the only moving element. This supports robust level switching with a limited need for maintenance.
 
The range covers up to 6 switch points, rod lengths up to 5 m and maximum working pressure of 6 bar, depending on the selected float. Electrical outputs include IP66/67 housings in epoxy-painted aluminum or AISI 316 stainless steel, and built-in temperature sensors can be specified on request.

Features

Magnetic reed contacts

One or more floats actuate reed contacts placed inside the measuring rod. Contact types include SPST and SPDT versions.

Float selection

Float options are available for PVDF, PP and PVC versions, with defined specific gravity, contact type, pressure rating and temperature class.

Process connections

External installation is supported with threaded and flanged connections. Thread options include UNI 228/1, UNI 7/1 and NPT.

Electrical contact ratings

Contact versions are specified with AC and DC voltage, current and power ratings for each SPST or SPDT type.

Wiring configurations

Contacts can be wired independently, with a common connection or according to request. NO, NC and SPDT contact status options are listed.

Temperature sensor option

A sensor can be installed at the bottom of the rod on request. Options include PT100, PT1000, PTC, NTC and TRP thermoprotector versions
