Integral Flo-Tel™+ for fast, non-invasive burst detection that is 100% reusable.
  • Reusable magnetic reed switch detection system.
  • Robust and reliable, eliminating spurious ‘failure’ indications.
  • Non-invasive and unaffected by high backpressures or aggressive media.
  
    Integral Flo-Tel™+ Burst Detection Features
  • Non-Invasive Burst Detection - Integral Flo-Tel™+ has no contact with the process medium which means no issues with corrosion, backpressure or product build up.
  • Robust and Reliable - Unlike conventional detection devices, there is no potential for damage during installation or spurious alarms resulting in unnecessary downtime.
  • Totally Reusable - 100% reusable Integral Flo-Tel™ saves expensive replacement and refitting costs.
  • Simplified Inspection and Verification - Switch and wiring integrity can be easily checked in 2 minutes or less without stopping your process.
  • Intrinsically Safe - Classified as a “Simple Apparatus”, Integral Flo-Tel™ is suitable for use in hazardous locations (Classes I, II and III, Division 1 and 2, Groups A through G) provided that it is used with an approved intrinsically safe electrical alarm monitor.

System Operation
Integral Flo-Tel™+ is comprised of a sensor mounted in a holder and a magnet on the rupture disc. When the rupture disc bursts, the rupture disc and magnet will arc away from the sensor, giving an open circuit signal. After bursting, the disc is the only element to be replaced thus eliminating expensive rewiring costs.
