PETROSTER SimpleLEAK ATEX sensors are devices used to detect leaks of liquid substances using dry or wet methods in systems of categories II, III and V, in accordance with EN 13160-1. Depending on the application, they can also be used as sensors for production processes and other utilities related to detecting changes in the liquid level, such as an overflow sensor. They are dedicated to work with PETROSTER control units, however, they are adapted to work with most available control units. They are reed sensors with a float equipped with a magnet, which is moved along the sensor axis when the liquid level changes and, depending on the state, turns the reed switch on or off. Basically, they are NO sensors for bottom-up operation and NC sensors for top-down operation. The sensor states can be reversed by inverting the float, as shown by the symbols on it. They are equipped with a continuous cable monitoring system, in accordance with the requirements of PN-EN 13160-1, enabling the differentiation of an alarm related to a change in the liquid level or detection of a leak from a damage to the sensor cable.
