Applications:
Overfill Protection
Spillage caused by overfilling can be hazardous to people and the environment, resulting in lost product and potentially high clean-up costs.
The 2120 is a limit level switch used to signal overfills at any time.
Limit Detection
Batch processing tanks often contain stirrers/agitators to ensure mixing and product ‘fluidity’. The standard user selectable time delay ranging from 0.3 to 30 seconds virtually eliminates the risk of false switching due to splashing caused by stirrers/agitators
Pipe Installation (Pump Protection)
Short forks mean minimum intrusion wet-side and allow simple low cost installation at any angle into your pipes or vessels. With the fork projecting only 2 in. (50 mm) (dependant on connection type), the 2120 can be installed in even small diameter pipes. By selecting the option of direct load switching or relay electronics, the 2120 is ideal for reliable pump control and can be used to protect against pumps running dry
High and Low Level Alarm
Maximum and minimum level detection in tanks containing many different types of liquids are ideal applications for the 2120. The robust 2120 operates continuously at temperatures up to 302 °F (150 °C) and operating pressures up to 1450 psig (100 barg) making it perfect for use as a high or low level alarm. It is common practice to fit an independent high level alarm switch as a backup device to any other level device installed in case of primary device failure.
Hygienic Applications
With the option of highly polished forks providing a surface finish (Ra) better than 0.4 μm, the 2120 meets the principle design criteria of the most stringent hygienic requirements used in food and beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. Manufactured in stainless steel the 2120 is robust enough to easily withstand steam cleaning (CIP) routines at temperatures up to 302 °F (150 °C).
