IS-DHK Intrinsically Safe Drum Alarm – High Level, No Feed Tube, Threaded Collar Mount

The IS-DHK Series is a rugged intrinsically safe high-level drum alarm designed to prevent chemical and fuel overfills in hazardous industrial locations. Unlike feed-tube alarms, the IS-DHK mounts directly onto the drum’s 3/4-inch threaded collar and requires no internal liquid pipe, making it ideal for rapid drum changeouts and applications where product purity or transfer speed is critical.

Powered by an intrinsically safe replaceable battery, the IS-DHK provides audible and visual notification at the point of use, allowing operators to halt liquid transfer before overflow occurs. Available in Polypropylene (PP) and 316 Stainless Steel (SS), this alarm supports a wide range of industrial chemicals and hydrocarbons in hazardous areas.

Key Features:

✅ Intrinsically safe design for use in hazardous locations when installed per manufacturer guidance

FAQs:

Does the IS-DHK require a feed tube inside the drum?
No. The IS-DHK Series is specifically designed as a no-feed-tube high-level alarm. It mounts on the threaded drum collar and detects high level without an internal pipe. If your application requires a feed pipe, consider the IS-DHP Series.

Is the IS-DHK suitable for hazardous locations?
Yes. The IS-DHK is an intrinsically safe high-level drum alarm intended for use in hazardous areas when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, applicable standards, and with any required intrinsic safety barriers.

Can I connect the alarm to a remote control panel?
Yes. With the optional relay output module and appropriate intrinsic safety barrier, the alarm can be interfaced to a safe-area control panel, PLC, or annunciator for remote indication.

Which material should I choose?
Select Polypropylene (IS-DHK-PP) for many general chemicals and industrial liquids, or Stainless Steel (IS-DHK-SS) for hydrocarbons, fuels, and more demanding process applications. The IS-DHK-KK Kynar (PVDF) version is intended for aggressive chemicals but may be obsolete; confirm availability with our team.
