Vsmart Module

Unlike fixed-barrier systems, VSmart provides the option to move or add up to 2 intrinsically safe barriers per VSmart wherever it makes sense, slashing cabling needs. With an outdoor rated NEMA 4 enclosure, the Vsmart module can be located near the tank area, which allows you to run all your multi-dropped devices to the Vsmart, and then just run a single two-wire cable (or via Ethernet) back to the console.

Using patented proprietary IntelliSense™ technology for probes and sensors, the V-Smart automatically detects the type of device connected to it and sends the information directly from the V-Smart Module to the MagLink LX console for easier programming.

Each VSmart expansion module can be equipped with 1 or 2 x ISB-1W intrinsic safe barriers.
