Endress+Hauser Minicap FTC260 & FTC262 Point Level Switches
Endress+Hauser Minicap FTC260 and FTC262 Point Level Switches feature a cost-effective design with high operational safety and reliability due to active build-up compensation. These complete units consist of a probe and electronic insert for simple mounting and no calibration on startup. The FTC260 sensors have a rod probe, while the FTC262 variant has a rope probe (up to 6m) and offers optimized storage by simply shortening the rope probe onsite. Both versions provide mechanical safety, cost-efficiency, and a long operating life due to no wearing parts. Endress+Hauser Minicap FTC260 and FTC262 Point Level Switches are designed for light bulk solids with a grain size of up to 30mm maximum and a dielectric constant of εr ≥1.5 or εr ≥1.6. These switches are particularly suited to applications involving aggressive media and heavy build-up. Typical applications include grain products, flour, milk powder, animal feed, cement, chalk, and gypsum.
