INTRINSICALLY SAFE TANK ALARM alerts if liquid level is high or low with a loud beeping and flashing.
MODEL IS-T
Intrinsically Safe Tank Alarm monitors hazardous locations
- Always on duty because battery power is uninterruptible.
- Replaceable Lithium battery included lasts for years.
- Loud buzzer is 101dB @ 2 ft. (like a smoke alarm)
- Rugged. Built for rough, wet and corrosive environments.
- Bright flashing LED visible in daylight.
- Low battery alert.
- Silencing/test button
- Hazloc Class 1, Div. 1. groups C and/or D. 60079-0 and 60079-11. Zone 0.
EASY TO INSTALL. After installing the battery, the tank mount is adjustable by hand. Simply loosen the nut and slide the alarm to the depth you want. Other mounting hardware available if needed.
Battery powered allows the Intrinsically Safe tank level alarm be located anywhere, instantly.
OPERATION
When there is a high or low level condition, the buzzer sounds and the beacon LED will flash. In the default mode, the user presses the button to silence the buzzer, and the LED continues to flash as a reminder. The 101 dB buzzer has a unique warbling sound cuts through factory noise so it will be heard.
Different behaviors are field-selectable using DIP switches on the circuit board. Choose from:
- 30-minute snooze alarm. (can be enabled or not)
- “Tank filling” mode shuts off LED and buzzer until the next liquid level event.
- Auto or manual reset of the relay after level corrected
- Relay orientation N.O. or N.C.
- Relay output delayed 15 minutes
FEATURES
Durable Aluminum electronics enclosure.
Pipe and float switch are 316 stainless steel construction. There is even a SS float guard included to protect the float switch so it can be moved frequently without worry about damage.
Harsh Weather rated temperature range is +60ºC to -40º C. [140ºF to -40ºF]
Reversible float switch. SS and BUNA floats are reversible. Specify preferred orientation in the order box. You can always reverse the float later.
Grounding lug is included on stainless steel units.
Optional Relay Output for connection to safe areas through an I.S. barrier.
Choice of materials: Float switches in 316 SS, BUNA, PP, or PVDF.
BATTERY POWER
Battery Power is uninterruptible and allows installation anywhere. No
outlets, electricians, or inspectors needed. The Lithium batteries included and have a shelf life of 20 years. A 2400mA-hr capacity combined with smart software allows these to sound for 25 days straight! In typical situations the batteries will last for many years. When the batteries do run low, a unique low-battery signal is given. (different from the level alarm signals) Batteries are user-replaceable in the hazardous location.
