Silo level monitoring Part 5: High level overfill prevention switches     

High level overfill prevention switches

We recommend a vibrating high-level switch, as well as being a fail safe high level alarm, it has a remote ground level test for the high level switch, which tests the functionality of the switch and related components, sounders, shut off etc. 

Reasons to choose Vibrating level switches for silo high level switches

• Vibrating technologies are active and fail-safe, as they must vibrate in free air to be a “ready to function” as a high level switch.
• If they stop vibrating it is for one of two reasons: it is because either they are sensing product or they are damaged/blocked, and so go into an ‘alarm’ state.
• Remote self testing with a have a comprehensive self test cycle of vibrating element, electronics and outputs
• They work well with changing product properties
