IBC / Tote Low Level Alarms

IBC / Tote Low Level

The IBC TANK LEVEL ALARM is supplied with a cap to fit an intermediate bulk container. (tote tank) Liquid is fed to your process through a tube and flowmeter. When liquid level gets low, a bright flashing LED and a loud beeper alerts. Never run empty again!

Better Liquid Level Control...

Always on duty because the liquid tube is permantly attached to the alarm unit.
It can go anywhere because it is battery operated. No need for power outlets.
Uninterruptible battery power lasts for years.Lithium battery always included.
Loud warbling tone cuts through the loudest industrial noise.
Rugged. Built for rough, wet and corrosive environments.
Protects your pumps from debris with an intake screen.
Flow indicator built into low level units.
No wetted metal parts.

IBC TOTE TANK ALARM for low liquid level makes sure your process will never run out of chemicals. When liquid level is low, an IBC Alarm emits a very loud 103dB beeping sound, and flashing LED.

Uninterruptible battery power works through power failures, can't come unplugged, or be defeated. And because the Tank Alarms don't use any power until alarming, the batteries last for years.
Float switch is protected inside a rigid pipe so it can get knocked around without worry. Optional screen protects float from debris.
Adjustable Depth. to fit any size tote. Simply loosen the set screws to slide pipes to correct depth up to 50 inches. (Standard Mauser 330 gallon IBC has a depth of 48.5".
The feed tube is permanantly attached to the float switch, so the level alarm is always on duty.
Removable filter screen on the suction pipe guards your pumps from debris or crystals. A replaceable check valve can be easily inserted in-line to prevent liquid from draining when transferring to new containers if needed.
IBC Alarms come in different materials for many different chemistries:
- PVDF
- Polypropylene (standard)
  - Polypropylene models have polypropylene floats, and polypropyelene piping so all wetted parts are polypropylene except the Acrylic flow indicator and glass ball. If Acrylic is incompatible there are models available without the flow indicator.
- Stainless upon request
All constructions are built for rugged industrial envirnoments
Standard Models Available:
- ILP-PP - polypropylene wetted parts with liquid suction pipe and acrylic flowmeter. Includes 6 inch buttress thread lid.
- ILPX-PP - same as above but no flow indicator.
- ILK-PP - no liquid suction pipe. (level alarm part only).
- PVDF (Kynar) models have the suffix KY instead of PP.

Options:

Shutoff Box SH-1

The illuminated button silences buzzer. LED flashes until level is corrected. Resets automatically. Low battery alert.

Silencing Button / Low Battery Alert SL-1

Button silences the audio alarm while LED continues to flash. Resets automatically. Includes a low battery warning. Button also tests the unit.

Relay Output with Cord RL-AC

Switches a relay to control pumps or solenoids. Silences and test alarm. Piggyback plug makes hookup easy.

AC Power Cord C-NA

When plug-in AC power is preferred. Comes with 3 prong plug and 8 foot rubber jacketed cord. Power convertor inside box.

Tank Vent Cap VC-1/2

Vent cap installed on lid allows more air exchange for high flowrates. Screen keeps out debris.

Check Valve CV-V

Optional check valve for use with diaphragm pumps. Stops the liquid from draining out of the feed pipe during transfer to a new container. Eliminates re-priming pump.
