The Binswitch is a capacitive proximity sensor that detects material levels and plugs in bins, tanks, silos, and chutes. It has adjustable sensitivity and can detect levels up to 25mm. It is certified for hazardous environments and has an IP67 rating. It operates on 12-240V and has either a normally open or closed relay contact output. Accessories include mounting plates and abrasion shields.

Binswitch
Capacitive Proximity Sensor
APPLICATION
Detects level or plug situations in bulk granular solids or
liquids.
Can also be used for misalignment monitoring on a conveyor
or elevator.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The Binswitch Sensor detects level or plug situations for bulk BS12V10AI or BS22V10AI
granular solids or liquids in tanks, bins, or silos and can be BS15V10AI or BS25V10AI
used as a plug or choke detector in chutes, conveyors and
elevator legs. Programmable features include time delay on
material arriving or leaving, and failsafe relay settings for ATEX-Approved
high and low levels. A two color LED shows material present
Ex II 1D T100°C-IP 65-ZONE 20
or absent and flashes red or green to show the time delay is
operating. The programmable sensor operates on 12-240
VAC/DC and gives a changeover relay contact output. The
polycarbonate housing is corrosion and abrasion resistant,
dust-tight, and waterproof.
