Liquiphant T FTL20H

Function and system design

Measuring principle The tuning fork of the FTL20H is brought to its resonance frequency by means of a piezoelectric drive.
If the tuning fork is covered by liquid, this frequency changes. The electronics of the FTL20H monitor the
resonance frequency and indicate whether the tuning fork is freely vibrating or is covered by liquid.

Measuring system The measuring system comprises:

• Liquiphant T FTL20H limit switch
• Progammable logic control (PLC), miniature contactor, solenoid valve or AS-i bus

Hysteresis 3 ±0.5 mm

Operating modes for variants The FTL20H can be connected in two operating modes. By choosing the suitable operating mode
AC and DC-PNP (MAX or MIN safety), you ensure that the FTL20H switches safely even in the event of a fault (e.g. if the power
supply line is disconnected).

MAX - maximum safety

• The FTL20H keeps the electronic switch closed as long as the liquid level is below the fork.
• Example of an application: overfill protection

MIN - minimum safety

• The FTL20H keeps the electronic switch closed as long as the fork is immersed in liquid.
• Example of an application: dry running protection for pumps
The electronic switch opens if the limit is reached, if a fault occurs or the power fails.

Electrical connection Variant DC-PNP (direct current) M12x1 connector

Voltage source: shock-protected voltage or Class 2 circuit (North America)

Suitable for use in non-equivalent operation:

When both outputs are connected, the MIN and MAX outputs take on opposite states in trouble-free operation.
In the event of an alarm condition or a line break, both electronic switches are open. In addition to level
monitoring, function-dependent sensor monitoring can also be performed with the aid of 2-channel evaluation.
