Tech Tip  -----------------

Low Voltage Bin Level Indicators
Model KA _ KAX
Model KA _ KAX Level Indicator

Monitor Technologies'  Model KA and KAX rotary paddle bin level indicators, powered by 12 or 24 VDC, incorporate an AC motor that makes them a viable solution for process oriented systems requiring a low voltage power source, minimal installation cost, and frequent level cycling. This DC version of Monitor's rotary paddle level sensor includes electronics that converts the 12/24 VDC power source to 6 VAC energy that is used to operate a 6 VAC motor. Using an AC motor instead of a DC motor significantly improves the performance of these models by ensuring functional reliability and providing longer operational life than a DC motor. 
Monitor's rotary paddle level switches are very versatile and can be used in a variety of powder & bulk solids storage applications. Other features include rugged construction, twist On/Off cover, motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded and a Hazardous Location option (Model KAX).

The same benefits also apply to the 24 VDC powered SafePoint® fail-safe rotary paddle level sensor.


In addition, you can contact Monitor's Application Engineers at techsupport@monitortech.com to discuss the best option for your needs.
