Minicap FTC262
Capacitive point level detection Compact point level switch with active build-up compensation; No calibration necessary Version available for dust explosion areas.
The Minicap comes factory calibrated. Sensitivity adjustments can be made in the field. To ensure safe operation, the Minicap system must be properly grounded in a metal or reinforced concrete vessel. For vessels made of non–conducting material, the ground wire must be connected to an earth ground near the vessel. Commercially available installation cable can be used for the connections.
