Product catalog summary
Overview
The Z-tron IV™ Point Level Switch is a cost-effective, reliable on/off level switch designed for easy installation and maintenance-free operation. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, unaffected by sticky coatings and corrosive liquids, due to its all-electronic design with no moving parts.

Installation and Calibration
The unit is easily installed through a single 3/4-inch NPT vessel opening, with other connection types available. Calibration is straightforward, ensuring quick setup.

Features
  • Cote-Shield™ Technology: This feature allows the switch to ignore dust, coatings, and sticky buildups on the sensing element, preventing false signals.
  • Maintenance-Free: Unlike mechanical instruments, the Z-tron IV has no components that can jam, break, or wear out, eliminating the need for routine maintenance.
  • Reliable Operation: The switch provides consistent performance without false signals from dust or tunneling.

Specifications
  • Power Requirements: AC units are field adjustable (95-145 VAC or 215-265 VAC), and DC units require 24 VDC input.
  • Sensitivity: 0.3pF or less, with an operating point range of 0 - 80 pF.
  • Failsafe Options: Field adjustable to High-Level Fail-Safe (HLFS) or Low-Level Fail-Safe (LLFS).
  • Output: DPDT relay closure with a contact rating of 5A @ 120 Vac non-inductive or 2A @ 230 Vac non-inductive.
  • Temperature Range: Operates in ambient temperatures from -40°F to 145°F (-40°C to 63°C).
  • Housing: Meets Nema classifications for general-purpose, drip-tight, weather-resistant, waterproof, dust-tight, and industrial use.

Model Variants and Options
The Z-tron IV is available in various models with different pressure and temperature ratings, wetted parts, and electronics configurations. Options include integral or remote mounting with various cable lengths and high-temperature capabilities.

Approvals
The device is approved for general-purpose use by FM / FMC 3810 standards.

Z4-Series-1

DATA SHEET Economical Effective, low-cost material level detection in a wide variety of applications, and a desirable alternative to electromechanical level switches. No expendable parts to buy and stock. No expensive, extra-cost options. Maintenance-Free Unlike paddle wheels, vibrating tines or other mechanical instruments, there are no components to jam, break or wear out. No need for routine maintenance, cleaning or replacing of worn parts. Reliable Operation Cote-Shield™ circuitry allows the Z-tron IV to ignore coatings or build up on the sensing element. There are no false signals from dust or tunneling. Easy-Installation One-piece unit is easily installed through a single 3/4-inch, probe dependent vessel opening. Calibration is quick and simple. Z-tron IV™ Point Level Switch, a reliable low-cost, on/off level switch The low-cost, Drexelbrook Z-tron IV level switch is unaffected by sticky coatings and impervious to corrosive liquids. The all-electronic design means no moving parts to wear, break or fail. Based on field-proven RF technology, the Z-tron IV is a simple and reliable on/off level switch. The compact one-piece unit is inserted through a standard 3/4-inch , probe dependent, NPT opening into the vessel so that the sensing element is positioned at the desired high or low level. (Other connection types and sizes are also available.) When the material level reaches a predetermined point on the sensing element, it causes a change in status at the electronic unit, resulting in actuation of the DPDT relay. The relay can be used to operate alarms, annunciators, valves, or other control or indication devices. Drexelbrook's Exclusive Cote-Shield™ Cote-Shield enables the Z-tron IV to ignore dust pileups, coatings, and sticky buildups on the sensing element.
