IBC Low Level Alarm Lithium battery, Adjustable depth, 3/4 in Black Polypropylene pipe, Alarm

Gizmo Engineering ILPX-PF IBC Tank Low Level Alarm is a rugged industrial-grade sensor and alarm system designed to provide reliable, automated monitoring of liquid levels in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC), tanks, and other fluid storage vessels. It’s engineered to deliver precise low-level detection and alert capabilities, particularly in applications where unattended monitoring and early warning of no-flow or low-fluid conditions are critical for operational safety, process efficiency, and environmental compliance. Purpose & Use Cases The ILPX-PF serves as a standalone low-level alarm for industrial liquids, chemicals, water, and other fluids stored in tanks or large containers where early notification of dropping fluid levels can prevent pump cavitation, dry-run damage, process downtime, spills, and other costly failures. It is especially suited for systems that require reliable fail-safe detection without continuous human supervision, such as remote pumping stations, batching systems, chemical dosing loops, agricultural water storage, industrial processing plants, and wastewater management systems. Design & Construction Built to withstand demanding industrial environments, the ILPX-PF features a durable enclosure and components engineered for long-term service: Enclosure & Ingress Protection: The unit achieves IP65 and NEMA4X ratings, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and significant water eXposure, including high-pressure sprays and splash environments typical of outdoor or wash-down industrial sites. Body Materials: Solid PVC body and cover with a rugged elastomer gasket ensure corrosion resistance and mechanical robustness, while 316 stainless steel screws and fittings add strength and longevity. Sensing & Alarm Features At its core, the alarm unit utilizes precision components engineered to detect fluid absence or below-threshold conditions and trigger an alert: LED Indicator: A high-visibility LeXan lens LED provides flashing visual alerts for easy status checks, consuming only around 25 mA when active. Audible Buzzer: A loud 103 dB buzzer at 2 ft ensures audible notification of alarm conditions in noisy industrial settings, drawing about 20 mA during operation. Installation & Connectivity The ILPX-PF is designed for straightforward integration into eXisting tank systems: Pipe Mounting: Accepts a 1/2-inch NPT top connection for secure installation on standard fittings. Phenolic thumb screws facilitate easy setup,
