Vibronic point level detection liquiphant FTL20 is in compact
design with stainless steel housing


Liquiphant FTL20 is a point level switch with compact design. FTL20 is used in tanks, containers and pipelines, in cleaning and filtering systems and coolant and lubricant tanks as an overfill prevention or as a pump dry-run protector. The FTL20 is ideal for applications which previously used float switches and conductive, capacitive and optical sensors. Functional check in installed state per magnet from the outside possible.

 

Benefits

  • Operational safety, reliability and universal applicability through use of the tuning fork measuring principle

  • Measurement is unaffected by conductivity, build-up, turbulence, flows or air bubbles

  • Simple and fast commissioning. No calibration required

  • No mechanically moved parts, free of maintenance

  • Safe function due to self-monitoring (active frequency monitoring of the fork)

  • Easy recurring function test via test magnet

  • Suitable for constricted space due to compact design

Field of application

Point level switch in compact design with stainless steel housing.

  • Process connection: Threads

  • Temperature: -40 to +150°C (-40 to +302°F)

  • Pressure: -1 to +40bar (-14.5 to +580psi)

  • International explosion protection certificates, overfill prevention WHG, marine approvals
