Description
SOBA EX, ATEX certified
Description

The SOBA EX is an ATEX certified float switch ideal for hazardous environments 0, 1, 2 (gas) and 20, 21, 22 (dust). As the liquid level reaches the float, the mechanical switch inside the float will tilt, thus closing or opening a circuit connected to an electrical panel. The SOBA EX is equipped with an external adjustable resin ballast, and its +/-25º switching angle ensures a precise level measurement.

Advantages

  • Double waterproof thanks to its HR HY (High Resistance) housing
  • No maintenance needed, thanks to its biconical shape that avoids any clogging
  • Easy to install, easy to use
  • Ecological float switch (no mercury, no lead)

Applications

  • Hazardous areas: 0, 1, 2 (gas) and 20, 21, 22 (dust).
  • Waste water, sewage water, charged liquids
  • Oils, mud, paint, etc.
  • Aggressive liquids : acids, solvents, corrosive liquids, hydrocarbons, sea water, etc...
  • Level control of multiple pumps
  • Emptying / Filling function
  • Overflow or dry-running protection
  • High / low level alarm
