Clark-Reliance Corp.’s Jerguson NightStar illuminators are used with magnetic liquid level gages to provide high contrast, 24-hour visibility in no-light or low-light environments. An array of bright LEDs shines on the gage’s magnetic flag indicators so operators can verify liquid levels, minimizing time spent in process areas. NightStar-equipped indicators are approved for use in Class 1, Div. 1 classified applications and are not angle-dependent, so viewers can see from many positions. The indicator can be field-upgraded on any Jerguson its Magnicator II or other vendor’s magnetic gage. Magnicator II Magnetic liquid level indication products have a patented float design. The illuminators’ LEDs have nominal lives of 10 years. www.clark-reliance.com Clark-Reliance Corp.
