AMETEK Drexelbrook Safety IntelliPoint Loop / Line Powered Level Switch
Auto‑calibrating SIL2 RF Level Switch with Coating Immunity & Self‑Diagnostics
ABLE Instruments are AMETEK Drexelbrook’s Exclusive Representative for Sales and Service in the UK and Ireland, including the Safety IntelliPoint Loop & Line Powered Level Switch. The Safety IntelliPoint Level Switch is designed for safety-critical point level detection with functional safety performance up to SIL2. It uses RF admittance technology with No‑Cal™ auto-calibration, Cote‑Shield™ coating immunity and an AutoVerify™ continuous self-test system. A Manual Certify™ feature allows users to validate system integrity without removing the sensor. Offering both loop-powered (4–20 mA) and line-powered options, it suits versatile installations and ensures reliable output in hazardous applications. Approved for use in SIL-level safety instrumented systems, it is ideal for high-integrity overfill protection, interface detection in oil and slurries, or level control in critical process vessels.
Key Features:
- SIL2 functional safety certified: Designed for use in safety-critical systems to IEC61508 standards
- No calibration required: Auto‑calibrates on power-up (No‑Cal™)
- Cote‑Shield immunity: Ignored coatings or residue prevent false alarms
- Continuous diagnostics: AutoVerify™ self-test and manual Certify™ verify electronics and sensing element
- Dual power options: Loop‑powered 13‑30 VDC or universal line power 85‑250VAC / 21‑100 VDC
- SPDT output flexibility: Dry‑contact relay and/or current output options available
- RF admittance technology: Reliable switching with no moving parts
- Hazardous area compliance: FM, FMc, ATEX, IECEx (Class I Div 1 / Zone 0), dual-compartment housing for safety isolation
