Endress+Hauser FTC260 Series Level Switch, +70°C Maximum Operating Temperature, 25 Bar Maximum Pressure - FTC260-BA2J1
This level switch is a capacitance-based point detector designed for monitoring liquid levels in industrial processes, particularly where explosive atmospheres are present. It delivers discrete level signalling through a robust metal enclosure and is intended for installation using a threaded connection. The instrument operates across a wide temperature span and is suitable where moderate process pressures are encountered.
Features and Benefits:
• Aluminium enclosure reduces weight while offering mechanical protection
• ATEX hazardous-area approval enables use in explosive environments
• Operating range from -40°C to +70°C allows cold and warm applications
• Withstands process pressures up to 10 bar for pressurised systems
• Maximum alternating supply 253V AC permits direct connection to mains
• Low current draw of 30mA minimises power consumption
• ATEX hazardous-area approval enables use in explosive environments
• Operating range from -40°C to +70°C allows cold and warm applications
• Withstands process pressures up to 10 bar for pressurised systems
• Maximum alternating supply 253V AC permits direct connection to mains
• Low current draw of 30mA minimises power consumption
Applications
• Suitable for point level detection in storage vessels under pressure
• Ideal for monitoring tanks in hazardous-area installations
• Used with control panels running 253V AC supplies
• Can be used for cold-storage or outdoor installations to -40°C
• Suitable for systems requiring a threaded process connection
• Ideal for monitoring tanks in hazardous-area installations
• Used with control panels running 253V AC supplies
• Can be used for cold-storage or outdoor installations to -40°C
• Suitable for systems requiring a threaded process connection
What electrical limits must I observe when wiring the device?
The device accepts alternating voltages up to 253V AC and direct voltages up to 45V DC while the switching current should not exceed 30mA.
Which materials contact the process and what mounting is required?
The external housing is aluminium and the unit is intended for installation via a threaded mount to a vessel or pipework.
Can this detector be used in pressurised vessels?
Yes, it is rated for operation at process pressures up to 10 bar.
Is the device certified for use in explosive atmospheres?
It carries ATEX hazardous-area certification permitting installation in appropriately classified zones.
