External ballast is offered as an option for SOLIBA level detectors. Thanks to their reduced operating angle (±10°), these detectors allow precise detection of incoming solid materials (grains, gravel, powders, cereals, etc.), generally without requiring ballast on the cable.
However, in certain configurations, particularly in silos or storage cells with limited space, the ballast reduces the movement of the level detector and thus tilts the float to ensure optimal operation.
⚠️ It is strongly discouraged to use clamps or any other device to replace ballast, as these may damage the cable and deteriorate the device.

They are easily adjustable on the cable, particularly the removable or clip-on models, which can be added at any time, including on existing installations.
To best define the float level switch suited to your needs, ATMI offers a wide range of level switches for liquids and solids in various applications.
