Overfill protection for challenging applications
Designed for use in facilities that require safety-instrumented functionality (SIF), the SIL IntelliPoint RF Series point-level transmitter and safety switch (photo) is suitable for use in challenging environments that must meet API 2350 Overfill Protection Standards, says the company. It now has full SIL2 Certification (SIL3 when a redundant switch is included). It is certified in accordance with IEC61509-2 and has worldwide hazardous area approvals (FM, FMc, ATEX and IECEX-pending). The device features state-of-the-art electronics and built-in Auto Verify circuitry that continually self-tests the complete system and alerts personnel if a fault is detected. No calibration or setpoint adjustments are required, according to the manufacturer. — Ametek Drexelbrook, Horsham, Pa.
