Hazardous Area Float Switch (ATEX IECEX) – Deeter F/S-FP Explosion & Flameproof Sensor

Explosion & Flameproof Liquid Level & Float Sensors
Deeter F/S-FP is an explosion & flameproof liquid level float switch suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in zone 1 and zone 2 hazardous areas.
The Deeter F/S-FP is made from 316 stainless steel, available in standard or customised lengths of up to 4 metres and uses reed switch of Hall Effect sensing technology for control and indication of a liquid level.
T&D distribute the complete range of Deeter Level Sensors and Float Switches.
