Point level detection
Nivotester FTL325P

Switching unit with intrinsically safe signal circuit for connection to Liquiphant or Soliphant

The switching unit FTL325P is used for point level detection in liquid tanks and bulk material silos, also in hazardous explosion areas. Also suitable for liquid detection in pipes for dry running protection for pumps and overfill prevention for tanks with combustible or non-combustible liquids harmful to water. Up to 3 measuring devices for two-point control and point level detection. Functional safety up to SIL3 in accordance to IEC 61508 using Liquiphant with electronic insert FEL57.
