Description

Designed specifically for the process industry, the Liquiphant FTL51B is intended for direct use in SIL2 and SIL3 applications. Using an easy-to-use wizard, you do periodic proof tests in accordance with SIL or WHG mobile. You are provided with automated documentation at the conclusion. Changes in medium characteristics, flow, turbulence, gas bubbles, foam, vibrations, or buildup have no effect on Liquiphant’s accurate measurement. The gadget is user-friendly, provides real-time data, and has a digital link.
The Liquiphant FTL51B is a robust, digital vibrating fork level switch designed for reliable point level detection of liquids in all industries. With its safety-oriented design, IIoT capabilities, and no need for calibration, the FTL51B ensures safe and maintenance-free operation for tank overfill protection and pump dry-run protection. It is especially suited for safety-critical applications (SIL2/3 certified) and provides advanced self-monitoring and diagnostics via Heartbeat Technology.
