In hydraulics and lubrication technology the fill level of oil tanks needs to be monitored continuously. Here, modern factory automation requires compatible signals. To minimise production costs and the space required on containers, it makes sense to use one monitor for both e.g. the fill level and oil temperature.

The NT 61-Z0…-ATEX series meets virtually all requirements arising in this area of application. This model can be equipped with max. four fixed, bistable level contacts or max. three level plus one temperature contact to monitor the fill level. The temperature can alternatively also be assessed using a Pt100 resistance thermometer. The NT 61-Z0…-ATEX is a simple electrical equipment without separate voltage source used to monitor the level and temperature inside a tank in explosive areas. Here the stainless steel tube a stainless steel float slides along is located inside the tank in zone 0. The stainless steel flange is mounted to the outside of the tank by 6 screws, meaning the connector plug is located outside the tank in zone 1. A flat seal between the tank and level switch flange provides the seal between the tank and the environment.
