Application examples

Overfill prevention
Spillage caused by overfilling can be hazardous to people and the environment, resulting
in lost product and potentially high clean-up costs. The Rosemount 2160 is an overfill
prevention product from Emerson that can be used as one of multiple layers of protection.
High and low level point alarms
Maximum and minimum level detection in tanks containing different types of liquids are
ideal applications. It is common practice to have an independent high level alarm switch or
detector as a backup to an installed level device in case of primary failure.
Pump control or limit detection
Batch processing tanks often contain stirrers and agitators to ensure mixing and product
'fluidity'. The Rosemount 2160 has a software-configurable time delay, from 0 to 3600
seconds, that virtually eliminates the risk of false detection from splashing.
