Endress+Hauser FTC260 Series Capacitance Point Level Switch Level Switch, Threaded Mount, ATEX-Rated, Housing Polyester

This level switch is a capacitance-based point detector designed to monitor liquid levels in industrial settings. It operates across a wide ambient temperature span and is suitable for threaded installation where reliable, single-point detection is required. The device is built for environments that demand hazardous-area certification and supports common electrical interfaces for integration into control systems.

• Operates between -40°C and 70°C for wide thermal range use
• Withstands up to 25 bar pressure for pressurised vessels
• Accepts up to 253V AC for direct AC supply compatibility
• Low energy draw of 30 mA to minimise load on circuits
• Tolerates up to 45V DC for low-voltage DC signal applications
• Polyester enclosure offers chemical-resistant external protection

• Suitable for level detection in pressurised tanks up to 25 bar pressure vessels
• Ideal for integration into hazardous-area installations requiring ATEX approval
• Used with control panels needing threaded sensor mounting
• Can be used for monitoring conductive and non-conductive liquids in process lines
• Suitable for systems operating from standard AC mains supplies

The unit fits via a threaded mount for straightforward panel or vessel thread installation.

It carries ATEX hazardous-area certification permitting deployment where explosion risk assessments require such approval.

The housing is manufactured from polyester to provide robust environmental resistance.

Design for a maximum AC voltage of 253V and a DC limit of 45 V, with a maximum current draw of 30 mA.

Yes, it functions down to -40°C, enabling use in cold environments.
