Endress+Hauser FT177 capacitive point level detector for bulk solids

Click2Contact

The FTI77 is a compact capacitive point level transmitter that can be used for point level detection at high temperatures in bulk solids and can be operated in minimum or maximum failsafe mode.

The FTI77 has a robust design for harsh process conditions. It is suitable for the level detection of abrasive media, withstands lateral loads of up to 800 Nm and has the option of active build-up compensation where bulk solids have a caking tendency.

It is easy and fast to commission and calibrate with push-button operation. Two-stage over-voltage protection helps protect against static discharge, which is often present in silo and electrostatic precipitators. Shortening the length of the probe is easy and quick, reducing the need to keep a number of length variations as spares.

With a SIL2/SIL3 rating when used in combination with the FEI55 electronic insert, it is suitable for use in safety systems, and it has increased safety due to permanent automatic monitoring of the electronics.
