July 2, 2009 - OleumTech announced its LM5000 series of WIO High Level Switches for industrial liquid level sensing for spill/overflow prevention. Available in side-mount and top-mount packaging, these submersible level switches are ideal for point level sensing of chemicals, petroleum, solvents, and general process applications. All switches are certified as intrinsically safe for hazardous area operation. The WIO High Level Switches are self-contained, integrated with a battery-powered RF transmitter, which immediately transmits wireless alarms when a set point level is reached.
This event-based mechanism extends battery life for up to 5 years while the internal self-checking diagnostic software monitors the device’s health for normal operation.The LM5000 series feature hermetically sealed, magnetically-actuated reed switch technology. There are number of options to satisfy specific application requirements ranging from probe length (up to 15 feet maximum) to float specific gravity. The WIO System forms the foundation of wireless process control enabling automatic emergency shut-down of the dispensing pump. These wireless switches are to be used with WIO Gateway products, which integrate to existing installed control system/RTU.
This 100% wireless spill prevention solution not only eliminates installation costs of cable and conduit runs but also enables true distributed control functionality. With the WIO High Level Switches, installation time is now measured in minutes, not days or weeks.
