- Reliable level control in liquid tanks is critical to avoid overflows and/or prevent process contamination.
- Level instrumentation must be resistant to corrosion, temperature extremes, contamination, etc.
- The Kayden CLASSIC 800 Series features a rugged design that does not require calibration and offers easy programming via controls on the front LED display.
Reliable and repeatable level control in tanks is critical in order to provide overflow protection and/or avoid contamination of the process upstream or downstream. The combination of the process media and plant conditions can cause instrument malfunctions and maintenance problems. For a level switch to perform well in tank monitoring applications it must resist failures from:
- corrosion and/or sludging damage to the sensor
- temperature extremes – depending upon location and operation the instrument will see high temperatures (for example: steam)
- water contamination – feed water and cooling water often contains sediment and high mineral content electromagnetic interference
- difficult and/or controlled access points limit monitoring and daily maintenance
Kayden Switch for Overflow Protection
The Kayden CLASSIC 800 Series Thermal Dispersion Flow, Level, Interface, and Temperature Switch & Transmitter provides the critical control necessary for level monitoring and control in liquid holding tanks. This level switch may be set to activate or deactivate the pump or feed valve using either an independent relay contact or the 4-20 mA analog output.
Although often overlooked in level applications in favor of more complicated and expensive technologies, Kayden thermal dispersion switches provide digital repeatability and fast response in a rugged package that is not bothered by coating on the probe and will not drift, seize, or ever require calibration.
Easy display panel controls and display make set up fast and easy. Unlike float, paddle, or gap switches Kayden switches feature all-welded sensors, a no moving parts design, true digital electronics with auto-diagnostic functions, two independent relay timers, a bypass timer for automatic pump restart, simultaneous process temperature monitor, and a 4-20 mA analog output corresponding to the process level (flow). Best of all, it’s ethernet enabled and communicate via Modbus and other protocols.
