Low-cost capacitance level switch
6 Oct 2015
Endress+Hauser has launched the Minicap FTC260/262, an easy-to-install, low-cost capacitance level switch that requires no calibration or commissioning.
It is suitable for measuring the level in silos of powdery and fine-grained bulk solids, such as grain, flour or powdered milk and, as it comes with ATEX approval, can be used in explosive atmospheres (ATEX II 1/3 D).
The FTC260 is a fixed-length device with an insertion length of 140mm, while the FTC262 is an extendible rope version (up to six metres).
The Minicap FTC260/262 is particularly suited to applications with heavy build-up, due to its build-up compensation feature.
This ensures the highest operational safety and reliability.
