Field of application

The Soliswitch FTE20 is a rotary paddle switch for point level detection in bulk solids. With its robust polymer housing and compact design, it is an ideal sensor for full, empty and demand alarm. The optimized polymers make the unit outstandingly robust and therefore suitable for use in dust explosive areas according the latest standards.

Features

  • Guided cable channel helps with initial commissioning as it guides you to the terminals without being stuck. Wiring diagram is delivered inside the unit
  • User friendly with captive screw cap, rotatable housing and tool-free lid opening
  • Simple testing during installation and - if necessary - fast troubleshooting through function control very simple by using a scredriver. You can block the paddle without dismounting the device
  • Optical rotation monitoring through the transparent lid is especially helpful for dust-explosion environments
