4B Binswitch - Capacitance Point Level Switch

Product catalog summary

Product Overview: The Braime Binswitch is a capacitive proximity sensor designed to detect level or plug situations in bulk granular solids or liquids. It is also applicable for misalignment monitoring on conveyors or elevators.

Method of Operation: The sensor detects material presence in tanks, bins, or silos and can act as a plug or choke detector in chutes, conveyors, and elevator legs. It features programmable time delays and failsafe relay settings for high and low levels. A two-color LED indicates material presence and operational status. The sensor operates on 12-240 VAC/DC and provides a changeover relay contact output. The housing is corrosion and abrasion-resistant, dust-tight, and waterproof.

Key Features:

Universal Voltage
Adjustable Sensitivity with a 25mm detection range
Certified to ATEX & IECEx Class 2 Division 1 Groups E, F & G
IP65 Protection: Totally Sealed Construction

4B Binswitch - Capacitance Point Level Switch-1

Capacitive Proximity Sensor APPLICATION Detects level or plug situations in bulk granular solids or liquids. Can also be used for misalignment monitoring on a conveyor or elevator. METHOD OF OPERATION The Binswitch Sensor detects level or plug situations for bulk granular solids or liquids in tanks, bins, or silos and can be used as a plug or choke detector in chutes, conveyors and elevator legs. Programmable features include time delay on material arriving or leaving, and failsafe relay settings for high and low levels. A two colour LED shows material present or absent and flashes red or green to show the time delay is operating. The programmable sensor operates on 12-240 VAC/DC and gives a changeover relay contact output. The polycarbonate housing is corrosion and abrasion resistant, dust-tight, and waterproof.
