FTI77

Capacitive level measurement is based on the principle that changes in material level cause variations in capacitance. The core principle is to determine the material position by detecting the capacitance change between the sensor probe and the measured medium. When the medium approaches the sensor, it alters the distribution of the existing electric field, resulting in a change in capacitance. This change is detected by the electronic circuit and converted into an electrical signal. When the signal reaches the predefined switching threshold, the instrument triggers a switch output signal.

Solicap FTI77 partially insulated rod/rope probes are designed for point level detection of fine and coarse-grained bulk solids. With automatic buildup compensation, the probes provide maximum measurement reliability and achieve a wide range of application possibilities through various certifications and approvals. The robust design enables highly accurate measurement under extreme lateral loads (up to 800 Nm for rod probes), high-temperature applications, and abrasive media conditions.
