The BM-T tilt switch level indicator detects high-level bulk solids or blockages by tilting 15 degrees to trigger a microswitch. It has a cast aluminum housing weighing 3.75 lb (1.7 kg), with a 9 in (229 mm) length, 4 in (102 mm) diameter, and 7/8 in (22 mm) eye bolt hole. Switch ratings are 15 A at 125 or 250 VAC, 1/2 A at 125 VDC, and 1/8 HP at 125 or 250 VAC. It meets C/US Class II Division 1 Groups E, F, G and ATEX Zone 21 ratings. Installation requires wire rope, chain, or flexible hanger; the cable must not support the unit. An optional stainless steel paddle or sphere enhances sensitivity for low-density materials.
By activating an alert when the device tilts at least 15 degrees, the versatile, cost-effective BM-T tilt switch level indicator can be used to detect high levels of large, heavy materials in bins, tanks and silos. Alternatively, it can be used to detect plugs or clogs in chutes during process operations or as a load sensor when positioned over open piles or conveyor belts. An optional paddle extension can be used to increase the sensitivity of the tilt switch.
