The Solicap FTI56 fully or partially insulated cable probe has a robust construction and is used for limit detection of fine and coarse-grained solids. With its automatic buildup compensation, the probe provides the highest measurement reliability and has obtained various relevant approvals and permits for a wide range of applications. Thanks to its robust, wear-resistant construction, it also provides high-precision measurement in applications with tensile loads of up to 60kN.
Advantages
Ultra-robust probe specially designed for demanding process conditions
Significant cost savings thanks to fast and simple one-button calibration and commissioning
Various approvals and permits for a wide range of applications
Two-stage overvoltage protection against electrostatic discharge of the tank
Automatic buildup compensation for granular solids prone to caking
Permanent self-monitoring of the electronics increases safety
Rod sensors (partially insulated) and cable sensors (partially or fully insulated) can be shortened, reducing inventory costs
Areas of application
This compact transmitter is suitable for limit detection of fine and coarse-grained solids and can operate in minimum or maximum fail-safe mode. Thanks to its robust construction, it provides high-precision measurement even under extremely high tensile loads (maximum load of 60kN for cable sensors). It can be used together with Fieldgate (remote control of measured values via Internet technology) and is an ideal solution for raw material supply and logistics optimization (inventory control).
