Level Switch Brochure

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Level Switch Brochure LTX-EN-2608 outlines the features and applications of Trimod’Besta level switches, emphasizing their modular design suitable for various industrial sectors such as shipbuilding, petrochemical plants, and water management.
Modular System: The brochure highlights a modular system that allows customization through standard components, including switching, flange, and float modules, to meet specific process and functional needs.
Applications: These level switches are versatile, used for max/min limits, pump and valve control, pneumatic control, separation layer control, and external level control. They are noted for their reliability and ease of integration.
Quality and Design: The switches are robust, featuring captive covers and screws, IP65 to IP68 protection, and materials resistant to seawater and aggressive media. They support electrical, electronic, and pneumatic output signals.
Switch Modules: Available options include micro- and proximity switches, SPDT and 2 × SPDT configurations, and pneumatic outputs, with versions for low and high temperatures and explosion-proof models.
Flange and Float Modules: Flanges come in various materials and standards (EN/DIN, ANSI, JIS), while float modules offer fixed and adjustable operating differentials for diverse applications.
Standard and Industrial Switches: The brochure describes different switch types, including standard, pneumatic, vertical, and industrial switches, detailing specifications like nominal pressure, operating temperature, and material composition.
Plastic Switches: These are designed for highly aggressive media, utilizing high-quality plastics such as PP and PTFE, and are available with industrial flanges.
Shipbuilding and Approvals: Trimod’Besta switches are extensively used in shipbuilding and are approved for explosion-proof areas, ensuring reliability in critical applications.
Contact Information: Contact details for Bachofen AG, the manufacturer, are provided, along with their ISO 9001 quality management certification.
