Tank or Vessel Level Control Monitoring

A single point optical liquid level switch installed at the points in the tank or vessel deemed to be critical will prevent over spilling or equipment failure using level control. In many cases, this has proved to be an affordable, small investment that adds value to products and services as it minimises the risk of, in some cases, costly consequences.

Typically, the single point level switches are mounted at the high and low level points of the tank or vessel. From low power switching to those capable of handling higher voltage inputs and a larger output drive these switches can sound an alarm, send a signal to a process controller or cut power to pumps and valves.

SST offer a broad range of single-point optical liquid level switches. A vast range of sizes, materials, housing styles and electrical connections are available to meet customer application requirements.

SST’s point level switches are unlike other technologies as they have a long operating life, low sensitivity to ambient light and are solid state – so there are no moving parts to fail. Their ability to function in wide operating temperatures and harsh liquid media result in a highly reliable sensor for use in extreme conditions. The level switches are compact, meaning they can fit into applications where space is limited and they can also very quickly react to small amounts of liquid.
