Our IBC TOTE TANK ALARMS prevent overfilling by sounding a loud buzzer and flashing LED when the liquid level is high. Pressing the silencing button mutes the buzzer while the LED continues to flash. The alarm is customizable for various level monitoring needs, such as connecting to solenoid valves, PLCs, automatic emptying, relay outputs, and more, providing comprehensive control for the filling process.
Features:
- Uninterruptible battery power for continuous operation.
- Silencing button and low battery alert included.
- Loud warbling buzzer for effective industrial alerts.
- Rugged design for harsh environments.
- Versatile connection options for solenoid valves, PLCs.
- No wetted metal parts.
Constructions:
- Float switch protected inside a pipe to prevent physical damage.
- Eliminates worry about damage when removed from the IBC.
- Ideal for transferring the alarm between containers.
- Unique feature exclusive to Gizmo Engineering.
Models:
- IHP Models:
Feature a liquid feeding pipe through the center plug in an IBC lid.
Available in polypropylene or Kynar for chemical resistance.
Adjustable depth, standard working depth of 10 inches.
- IHK Models:
Single pipe with a float switch, mounted on a flat IBC lid.
Allows easy addition of options like a cam-lock elbow for liquid feed.
Available in polypropylene or Kynar.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE:
- Aqueous Ammonia (conc.)

Battery Works:
Our uninterruptible battery power system, powered by lithium batteries, guarantees a continuous power supply during outages, impervious to accidental disconnection or defeat. These durable batteries, equipped with a built-in low-battery alert, provide extended service life. Additionally, we offer the option of line-powered IBC high-level alarms for those who find it more suitable.
Operations:
Pressing the pushbutton silences the alarm, with the LED flashing as a reminder. The “snooze alarm” can be disabled via a circuit board jumper. The push button tests the circuit when the high-level alarm is inactive. Depth adjustment is tool-free – loosen the thumb knob and position the pipe by hand.
Materials:
Polypropylene is the primary choice for plastic IBCs due to superior chemical resistance, outperforming polyethylene for most aqueous chemicals. Exceptions include acetic acid, benzoic acid, bleach, chlorobromomethane, phosphorous trichloride acid, and pyridine. We also offer IBC level alarms in Kynar (PVDF) or 316 Stainless steel. For Hazardous Locations, our level alarms are adapted to meet Intrinsically Safe standards.
