Technical Information
Liquiphant FTL31 IO-Link
Point level switch for liquids

Application
The Liquiphant FTL31 is a point level switch for liquids and is used in tanks, vessels
and pipes.
It is used for overfill protection or pump protection in cleaning and filter systems as
well as in cooling and lubrication vessels, for instance.
Ideal for applications in which float switches or conductive, capacitance and optical
sensors have been used up to now. The Liquiphant FTL31 also works in areas where
these measuring principles are not suitable due to conductivity, buildup, turbulence,
flow conditions or air bubbles.
The Liquiphant FTL31 can be used for process temperatures up to:
• 100 °C (212 °F)
• 150 °C (302 °F)
Not suitable for hazardous areas.
The use of the Liquiphant FTL33 is recommended for hygiene areas.

Advantages
• Operational safety, reliability and universal application thanks to the tuning fork
measuring principle
• Robust stainless steel housing (316L), optionally available with M12x1 plug with
IP69 protection
• External function test with test magnet
• Onsite function check possible thanks to LED indication
• Compact design for easy installation even in confined conditions or hard-to-access
areas

 Liquiphant FTL31 IO-Link

Function and system design

Measuring principle A piezoelectric drive causes the tuning fork of the device to vibrate at its resonance frequency. When
the tuning fork is immersed in a liquid, its intrinsic frequency changes due to the change in density
of the surrounding medium. The electronics system in the point level switch monitors the resonance
frequency and indicates whether the tuning fork is vibrating in air or is covered by liquid.

Measuring system The measuring system consists of a point level switch, e.g. for connection to programmable logic
controllers (PLC).

Output
Switch output Switching behavior: On/Off
Function
• 3-wire DC-PNP:
Positive voltage signal at the switch output of the electronics (PNP)
Switching capacity: 200 mA
• IO-Link (4-wire):
Switching capacity:
• 105 mA (for mode with 2x load)
• 200 mA (for mode with 1x IO-Link and 1x load)

Operating modes The device has two operating modes: maximum safety (MAX) and minimum safety (MIN).
By choosing the corresponding operating mode, the user ensures that the device also switches in a
safety-oriented manner even in an alarm condition, e.g. if the power supply line is disconnected.
• Maximum safety (MAX)
The device keeps the electronic switch closed as long as the liquid level is below the fork. Sample
application: overfill protection
• Minimum safety (MIN)
The device keeps the electronic switch closed as long as the fork is immersed in liquid. Sample
application: Dry running protection for pumps
The electronic switch opens if the limit is reached, if a fault occurs or the power fails (quiescent
current principle).

Installation in vessels
If installed horizontally, pay attention to the position of the tuning fork to ensure that the liquid can
drip off.
The electrical connection, e.g. M12 plug, should be pointing down with the cable. This can prevent

Pay attention to the temperature and pressure specifications for seals used at the customer site.

Endress+Hauser supplies DIN/EN process connections with threaded connection in stainless

steel in accordance with AISI 316L (DIN/EN material number 1.4404 or 1.4435). In terms of
their stability-temperature property, the materials 1.4404 and 1.4435 are grouped in EN
1092-1 table 18 under 13E0. The chemical composition of the two materials can be identical.

magnet ‣ Hold the test magnet for at least 2 s against the marking on the housing.
 This inverts the current switch status, and the yellow LED changes state. When the magnet
is removed, the switching status valid at that time is adopted.

If the test magnet is held against the marking for longer than 30 s, the red LED will flash: The device
returns automatically to the current switch status.
The test magnet is not included in the scope of delivery. It can optionally be ordered as an
