    Electrical level switch

    The Nivector FTC 968 Z electric level


    switch is the oil level control in the
    Symetro Gear safety system. In case
    the oil level decreases to a critical level,
    the level switch is able to stop the
    operation of the gear before it results
    in any damage.
    The level switch consists of one sensor
    connected to the safety system and
    placed in the active oil trenches in a
    way, which ensures they are covered

    in oil when the gear wheels are


    collecting oil from the oil sump and
    throw it to the trenches. Hence the
    Nivector will give alarm if the oil level
    in the oil sump gets too low.
    The Nivector is set in minimum
    alarm mode corresponding to a
    normally closed function. The level
    switch is additionally designed to
    alarm if voltage failure, sensor or wire
    breakdown occurs.

    Electrical Level Switch

    The older mechanical level switches


    starts to fail over time due to wear on
    and seizing of the moving parts. Since
    mechanical moving parts have been
    removed and replaced by electric parts,
    the Nivector FTC 968 Z is significantly
    more reliable than the mechanic level
    switches.
    There have been incidents with
    mechanical level switches which have
    failed and caused severe damage to
    the Symetro parts due to lack of oil.
    Furthermore some of the old switches
    contain mercury, which should be
    avoided.

    Operational Advantages
    The Nivector FTC 968 Z is an electric
    level switch and, compared to older
    models which are mechanical, the
    electrical level switch insures secured
    operation since wear is eliminated
    due to electric feedback.
