Liquicap FTZ61 Installation Post installation check After installing the measuring instrument, carry out the following checks: • Is the device damaged (visual inspection)? • Does the measuring system comply with the measuring point specifications, ambient temperature etc.? • Are the measuring point numbers and labeling correct (visual inspection)? •...
Electrical connections Liquicap FTZ61 Electrical connections NOTICE To prevent damage to the device: ‣ Before connecting the device to the control unit or PLC, ensure that the supply voltage is within the specifications → 16, → 26. ‣...
If the sensor is firmly pressed against the metal container (armature) during operation, make sure to attach the supplied sensor cover over the sensor → 12. 5. Connect the sensor to the transmitter Liquicap FTZ61. 6. Perform an empty calibration → 18. Post connection check Perform the following checks after wiring the measuring instrument: •...
Commissioning Liquicap FTZ61 Commissioning Installation and function check Make sure that the post-installation check and the final check have been completed before starting the measurement: • "Post-installation" checklist → 12 • "Post-connection" checklist → 16 Empty calibration As a minimum, the "empty calibration" must be carried out.
Liquicap FTZ61 Commissioning Change calibration Reset the current calibration situation 1. Set the function switch to position 2 or 3 2. Press both keys for approx. 10 s until the yellow LED flashes (both calibration points are deleted) Overwrite the current calibration 1.
Operation Liquicap FTZ61 Operation Push button for empty calibration The device features a single push-button (B) for performing empty calibration. The empty calibration assigns the currently measured capacitance to an output current of 4 mA. The empty calibration via push-button (B) is only possible if the function switch (A) is in position 2.
Liquicap FTZ61 Operation Human interface and display elements 1 2 3 4 5 FEI5x A0054670 5 Green LED 1 (ready for operation), red LED 3 (error indicated), yellow LED 6 (switching state) To select a function, press the push-button (B) or key "+" (C) for at least 2 s. Release the push-button or key when the LED signals change.

Operation Liquicap FTZ61 NOTICE Missing O-ring or improper sealing of the device will lead to insufficient housing tightness. Damage to the device. ‣ Only open the device in dry environments. ‣ Always seal the housing cover and cable entries securely.
Liquicap FTZ61 Diagnostics and troubleshooting Diagnostics and troubleshooting Fault diagnostics The diagnostics provide information about the operating status of the device. The results of the diagnostics are displayed by LEDs 1, 2, 4 and 5. If the diagnostics detect multiple faults, these are shown according to their priority.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting Liquicap FTZ61 Error current/Warning All internal errors will produce an output current < 3.6 mA. If the capacitance value is greater than 500 pF, an error message is displayed (red LED flashes). If this error is active, no calibration can be performed.
Liquicap FTZ61 Maintenance and servicing Maintenance and servicing No special maintenance work is required. NOTICE Avoid damage to the device ‣ The housing cover may only be removed by qualified personnel. ‣ Do not attempt to modify the internal electronics of the device, as this may result in the configuration and measurement specifications being lost.
