IECEx & ATEX certified sensors

We specialise in the design and manufacture of high-quality hazardous area sensors engineered for safe and reliable operation in explosive or volatile environments. Our sensor range is fully certified to ATEX and IECEx standards, ensuring compliance with international safety regulations and suitability for use in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, marine, and more.​

Our hazardous area sensors include explosion-proof float switches, continuous vertical liquid level sensors, and capacitive level sensors, all designed to deliver accurate and dependable performance in demanding conditions. These sensors are available in various configurations, including vertical and horizontal mounting options, and are constructed from robust materials like stainless steel 316L to withstand harsh environments. Additionally, we offer intrinsically safe sensor options compatible with Zener safety barriers for systems requiring intrinsic safety compliance.​

Whether you need a standard solution or a custom-designed sensor tailored to your specific application, Deeter Electronics provides expert support and engineering excellence to meet your hazardous area sensing requirements.

What is an ATEX level switch?
An ATEX level switch is a liquid level switch certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It is designed to detect liquid levels safely in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours or liquids may be present.
Where are hazardous area float switches used?
Hazardous area float switches are commonly used in fuel tanks, chemical storage vessels, industrial process tanks and other applications where liquid level monitoring is needed in potentially explosive environments.
What is an explosion proof liquid level sensor?
An explosion proof liquid level sensor is designed to monitor liquid levels while reducing the risk of ignition in hazardous areas. Depending on the protection method, the sensor may be built to contain internal ignition or limit electrical energy to a safe level.
What is a switch for potentially explosive atmospheres?
A switch for potentially explosive atmospheres is a device designed and certified for use in areas where flammable substances could ignite. These switches are used to monitor or control equipment while meeting hazardous area safety requirements.
How do I choose an ATEX approved level switch?
Choosing an ATEX approved level switch depends on the liquid being monitored, tank design, operating temperature, pressure, switching requirements and hazardous area classification. It is important to select equipment with the correct certification and protection method for the installation.
