Technical Information
Soliphant M FTM50, FTM51, FTM52
Level limit switch
Universal vibration limit switch for fine-grained bulk solids,
also for explosion-hazardous areas
TI392F/00/en
Application
Soliphant M is a robust level limit switch for use in silos
containing fine-grained or powdery solids even with a
low bulk density.
The various designs mean the device has a wide range of
applications. Certificates are also available for use in dust
or gas incendive hazard areas.
FTM50 compact design for installation in any direction.
A wide range of applications thanks to various variations;
e.g.
short fork with stainless steel housing (F15);
standard fork with polyester housing (F16)
FTM51 with extension pipe up to 4 m for installation in
any direction; e.g.
aluminium housing (T13) with separate connection
compartment EEx de
FTM52 with rope up to 20 m for installation from above;
e.g. with aluminium housing (F17)
Typical applications: cereals, flour, powdered milk,
cocoa, sugar, animal feed,
detergents, dye powder, chalk, gypsum, cement, sand,
plastic granules
Your benefits
• Market leader in the area of level detection of bulk
solids with practical experience since 1967
• No calibration: easy commissioning (plug and play)
• No mechanically moving parts: no wear,
long operating life
• Insensitive to external vibrations and build-up:
maintenance-free operation, independent of bulk
solids
• Switching status display through cover with sight
glass: easy monitoring
• Various electronic inserts: e.g. NAMUR, relay,
thyristor and PFM-signal outputs for optimum
alignment with the plant control system
• New: also with short fork (100 mm fork length)
• New: build-up and abrasion display selectable
• New: density setting and switching delay selectable

  • Page 4: Function And System Design

    Function and system design Measuring principle A piezoelectric drive excites the tuning fork of Soliphant M FTM50, FTM51 and FTM52 to its resonance frequency. If medium covers the tuning fork, the fork's vibrating amplitude changes (the vibration is damped). Soliphant M's electronics compare the actual amplitude with a target value and indicates whether the tuning fork is vibrating freely or whether it is covered by medium.
