Function and system design
point level detection
Measuring principle
Measuring system
Maximum or minimum detection for liquids in tanks or pipes in all industries. Suitable for leakage
monitoring, dry-running protection, pump protection or overfill protection, for example .
Specific versions are suitable for use in hazardous areas.
The point level switch differentiates between the "covered" and "not covered" conditions.
Depending on the MIN (minimum detection) or MAX (maximum detection) modes, there are two
possibilities in each case: OK status and demand mode
OK status
• In MIN mode, the fork is covered, e. g. pump protection
• In MAX mode, the fork is not covered e. g. overfill protection
Demand mode
• In MIN mode, the fork is not covered e. g. pump protection
• In MAX mode, the fork is covered e. g. overfill protection
The sensor's tuning fork vibrates at its intrinsic frequency. As soon as the liquid covers the tuning
fork, the vibration resistance decreases. The change in frequency causes the point level switch to
switch.

The maximum pressure for the measuring device is dependent on the lowest-rated element,
with regard to pressure, of the selected components. This means that it is necessary to pay
attention to the process connection as well as the sensor.

‣
Permitted pressure values for flanges at higher temperatures can be found in the following
standards:
• pR EN 1092-1: 2005 With regard to its stability-temperature property, the material 1.4435 is
identical to 1.4404, which is classed as 13E0 in EN 1092-1 Tab. 18. The chemical composition of
the two materials can be identical.

case.

WARNING
For pressure specifications, see the "Mechanical construction" section.
The measuring device must be operated only within the specified limits!
The Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) uses the abbreviation "PS". The abbreviation "PS"
corresponds to the MWP (maximum working pressure) of the measuring device.

The mechanical integrity is guaranteed at pressures up to 1.5 times the process nominal pressure

• Order option: 0.4 g/cm3 (not for devices with SIL)
For liquids with a density > 0.4 g/cm3 and density < 0.6 g/cm

If this option has been selected, the density setting is always set to 0.4 g/cm3. This setting can no
longer be altered.

In vacuum evaporation systems, the density of the liquids can drop to a very low value: select
density setting 0.4.

Design, dimensionsDevice height
The device height is calculated from the following components:
• Housing including cover
• Optional spacer (temperature spacer or pressure-tight feedthrough (second line of defense))
• Pipe extension, short pipe or compact version
• Process connection
The individual heights of the components can be found in the following sections:
• Determine the height of the device and add the individual heights.
• Take into consideration the installation distance (space that is used to install the device).

Heartbeat Technology
Heartbeat Technology module
Heartbeat Diagnostics
Continuously monitors and evaluates the device status and process conditions. Generates diagnostic
messages when certain events occur and provides troubleshooting measures in accordance with
NAMUR NE 107.
Heartbeat Verification
Performs a verification of the current device status upon request and generates a Heartbeat
Technology verification report showing the result of the verification.
Heartbeat Monitoring
Continuously provides device and/or process data for an external system. Analysis of this data forms
the basis for process optimization and predictive maintenance.
Technical data
• Approval: intrinsically safe Ex ia, IS or ec/ic
• NAMUR electronics (electronic insert FEL68):
For energy-related reasons, the Bluetooth module VU121 requires a special battery when operated
with the 2-wire NAMUR electronics. The service life of the Bluetooth module without replacing
the battery is at least 5 years with a maximum of 60 downloads of complete datasets (at ambient
temperatures between 10 to 40 °C (50 to 104 °F)).
• Maximum free-field range 50 m (165 ft)
• Operation radius with intervisibility 10 m (33 ft) around the device

Diagnostic informationHeartbeat Technology
The electronics module and the tuning fork are checked using Heartbeat Technology, and a
verification of the Liquiphant is performed. The switch output is not changed during this test. The
test can be performed at any time and does not influence the switch output in the safety circuit. In
the case of proof-testing, the SmartBlue app supports users in every step of the test. The switch
42Endress+Hauser
Page 43
Liquiphant FTL51B
output is also switched during this test. During the proof-test, alternative monitoring measures must
be taken to ensure process safety.
Proof test
During the proof test, the SmartBlue app provides support for each individual stage of the test
(proof-test wizard). The switch output is also switched during this test. During the proof test,
alternative monitoring measures must be taken to ensure process safety.
Evaluation of the vibration frequency
If the vibration frequency exceeds the upper warning frequency, a warning is displayed. A warning is
activated when the fork becomes corroded, for example. The switch output remains in the current
state. The warning is displayed in the SmartBlue app and output in the Heartbeat Technology
protocol. When a warning occurs, it is necessary to check the Liquiphant sensor.
The current oscillation frequency must be in the range between the upper and lower alarm
frequency. If the current oscillation frequency is above the upper alarm frequency or below the lower
alarm frequency, an alarm is output. The output switches to the safety-oriented state.

Pressure equipment with allowable pressure ≤ 200 bar (2900 psi)
Pressure instruments with a flange and threaded boss that do not have a pressurized housing do not
fall within the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive, irrespective of the maximum allowable
pressure.
Reasons:
According to Article 2, point 5 of EU Directive 2014/68/EU, pressure accessories are defined as
"devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing housings".
If a pressure instrument does not have a pressure-bearing housing (no identifiable pressure chamber
of its own), there is no pressure accessory present within the meaning of the Directive.
North American practice for the installation of process seals. In accordance with ANSI/ISA 12.27.01,
Endress+Hauser devices are designed as either single seal or dual seal devices with a warning
message. This allows the user to waive the use of - and save the cost of installing - an external
44Endress+Hauser

secondary process seal in the protective conduit as required in ANSI/NFPA 70 (NEC) and CSA 22.1
(CEC). These instruments comply with the North-American installation practice and provide a very
safe and cost-saving installation for pressurized applications with hazardous fluids. More
information is provided in the Safety Instructions (XA) for the relevant device.
Aluminum, stainless steel and plastic housing are approved as single-seal devices.

increased oscillation frequency indicates the presence of corrosion. A reduced oscillation frequency
indicates that there is buildup present or that the sensor is covered by the medium. Deviations in
the oscillation frequency compared to the oscillation frequency on delivery may occur due to the
process temperature and process pressure.
