Technical Information

Liquiphant M FTL50(H), FTL51(H)

Vibration Limit Switch
Level limit switch for all liquids.
Suitable for use in hazardous areas, food and pharmaceuticals

The function is not affected by flow, turbulence, bubbles,

foam, vibration, bulk solids content or build-up.
The Liquiphant is thus the ideal substitute for float
switches.
FTL50:
Compact design, ideal for mounting in pipes and for
installation in areas difficult to access
FTL51:
With extension pipe up to 3 m
(6 m on request)
FTL50H, FTL51H:
With polished tuning fork and easy-to-clean process
connections and housings for food and pharmaceutical
applications.
High corrosion-resistant AlloyC4 (2.4610) is available for
the fork and process connections for applications in very
aggressive liquids.
EEx ia, EEx de and EEx d protection enable it to be used
in hazardous areas.
Your benefits
• Use in safety systems requiring functional safety
to SIL2/SIL3 in accordance with IEC 61508/
IEC 61511-1
• Large number of process connections to choose from:
universal usage
• Wide variety of electronics, e.g. NAMUR, relay,
thyristor, PFM signal output: the right connection for
every process control system
Application • PROFIBUS PA protocol:
The Liquiphant M is a level limit switch for use in all for commissioning and maintenance
liquids • No calibration: quick, low-cost start-up
– for process temperatures of –50 °C to 150 °C • No mechanically moving parts: no maintenance,
– for pressures up to 100 bar no wear, long operating life
– for viscosity up to 10000 mm2/s • Monitoring of fork for damage: guaranteed function
– for densities 0.5 g/cm3 or 0.7 g/cm3 other settings • FDA approved materials (PFA Edlon)

Application
Level limit detection Maximum or minimum detection in tanks or pipes containing all kinds of liquids, including use in hazardous
areas, food and pharmaceuticals

L00-FTL5xxxx-11-05-xx-xx-000

Function and system design

Measuring principle The sensor's fork vibrates at its intrinsic frequency.
This frequency is reduced when covered with liquid. The change in frequency then activates a limit switch.

The switchpoints of the Liquiphant M are at other positions to those of the previous version Liquiphant II.

Examples of mounting Examples of mounting with regard to the viscosity ν of the liquid and the amount of build-up

Optimum mounting, without problem even with high viscosity:

Position the fork so that the narrow edge of the tines is vertical.
This ensures that the liquid can run off easily.

! Note!
on polyester housing (PBT), electric connecting cables run in pipes:
Do not screw cable entries firmly to the piping. Use flexible connections (e.g. with armoured hose).
If the piping is used for earthing then ensure that there is a continuous electrical connection.

! Note!
Despite the additional Dust-Ex-certificate, the FTL5x(H) is to be used as a liquid limit switch only.
