RG3 Rotary Level Sensor

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The RG3 Rotary Level Indicator is designed for detecting the presence or absence of bulk materials such as grains, pellets, chemicals, and wood chips. It is suitable for use in hoppers and silos and can be mounted on the top or side.
Specifications: The RG3 is approved for use in explosive atmospheres (ATEX zones 20 and 21 for dust). It operates with a rotating paddle that triggers an alarm when material impedes its rotation. The device is easy to install, requiring no calibration or maintenance, and is adaptable to different material densities with interchangeable paddles. It features a durable aluminum casing, stainless steel shaft, and operates in temperatures from -20°C to +70°C. The protection degree is IP65.
Technical Specifications: The RG3 series includes models with power supplies of 110/240 VAC or 24 VDC, both with a change-over relay output of 10A at 250VAC. The enclosure is made of die-cast aluminum, and the device includes conduit entries tapped at ø 1/2” BSPP.
Build Options: Various build options are available, including different power supply voltages, double contact, output pulse, rotation speed, and low-temperature extensions. An example configuration is provided for clarity.
Paddle Options: The RG3 series offers several paddle options made from Nylon6 or 304 Stainless Steel, with different sizes and recommended densities for various applications.
Extension Options: Stainless steel extension rods are available in lengths of 500mm, 1000mm, and 1500mm, with or without guards. A flexible extension option is also available at 2000mm.
Flange Options: Standard and stainless steel flanges are available, with specific dimensions and hole spacing provided for installation.
