E+H Minicap FTC262 Capacitance Point Level Switch

• Simple mounting and commissioning without calibration
• Mechanical safety, cost-efficiency and long operating life due to no wearing parts
• High operational safety and reliability due to active build-up compensation
• Optimized storage by simply shortening the rope probe on site

For Point Level Switch of light bulk solids, with a grain size up to max. 30mm and a dielectric constant εr ≥ 1.6. 
Typical applications: Grain products, flour, milk powder, animal feed, cement, chalk or gypsum.
