FAQ

What types of bulk solids is the FTE20 suitable for?

It is designed for fine-grained and coarse-grained bulk solids, such as cereals, sugar, plastic granules, and powders, with a minimum density of approximately 100 g/l.

The shaft on this specific unit has a fixed length. While Endress+Hauser offered various lengths and rope extensions for the FTE20 series, modifying the existing shaft is not recommended as it can affect mechanical balance and operational reliability.

The FTE20 features a potential-free relay contact. For a high-level alarm, you would typically wire your alarm circuit through the normally closed (NC) contacts. When the material level rises and stops the paddle, the relay switches, opening the NC contact and triggering the alarm. Always consult the official manual for correct wiring diagrams.
