Description
Point level detection for fine-grained to coarse-grained bulk solids
The Solicap M compact transmitter offers reliable level limit detection in bulk solids. Available as a rod (FTI55) or rope (FTI56) version, it can be operated in minimum or maximum failsafe mode and is used for level limit detection in storage, buffer and process tanks and for two-point control. Due to its robust construction, it can also be used to provide accurate measurement in applications with very high tensile loads (up to 60kN for rope version) or lateral loads (up to 300Nm for rod version). In addition, the gastight probe seal prevents the effects of aggressive and toxic media and rough ambient conditions, such as strong vibration and increased temperatures, are overcome by separate electronics (up to 6m).
Solicap M is easily and quickly calibrated on site by simply pressing a button, facilitating quick and simple commissioning. An intelligent electronic memory (EEprom) saves instrument and calibration parameters so that all of the data is automatically transferred to the new electronics in case of an exchange. Time-consuming manual instrument calibration is unnecessary so downtime is kept to a minimum.
