Rotary paddle level switch

Rotonivo® - RN 6001

Application area

The Rotonivo® RN 6001 rotating paddle switch is used in storage and process vessels as a full, demand and empty detector in all bulk materials and can be configured for process temperatures up to +1100°C and process overpressure up to 10 bar. The RN 6001 offers more space for wiring due to the larger housing, flameproof enclosures for use in the GasEx area and certification according to SIL2.
