ATEX-approved SILO SWITCHES MS1/MS2   

The Silo switch is designed for the surface level control of loose
storage items (high level detection).

OPERATION AND INSTALLATION

At the end of a cable hangs a cone containing a micro switch which operates when the cone is tilted some 25° in any direction from its normal vertical position. The unit must be installed a minimum of 250 mm from the silo wall and a minimum of 300 mm from the centre opening. 40 mm of cable is required from the end of the protective conduit to the cone. The same requirements hold true for the side mounted switch. When the silo is filled to the predetermined capacity the switch is activated by the rising level of the item being stored.
