1.1 Special Notes on Safety

Approved usage The Soliphant FTM .. DR is used for limit detection with powdered or fine-grained solids.

See Technical Data for temperature, pressure, mechanical loads and bulk solids

characteristics.

Installation,

Commisioning,

Operation

The Soliphant has been designed to operate safely in accordance with current

technical, safety and EU standards. If installed incorrectly or used for applications for

which it is not intended, however, it is possible that application-related dangers may

arise, e.g. product overflow or explosion in a flammable atmosphere.

For this reason the instrument must be installed, connected, operated and maintained

according to the instructions in this manual; personnel must be authorized and

suitably qualified. The manual must have been read and understood, and the

instructions followed. Modifications and repairs to the device are permissible only

when they are expressly approved in the manual.

Explosion hazardous

areas If the Soliphant is to be installed in an explosion hazardous area, then the

specifications in the certificate as well as all national regulations must be observed.

Classes, Divisions and Groups are different according to FM or CSA approval,

see Product Structure.

•Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.

•Observe the regulations concerning measurement and safety at the measuring point.

2 Usage

2.1 Application

Soliphant is a rugged limit switch for silos containing powdered or fine-grained solids,

including those with very low bulk densities.

The material must be pourable, i.e. it must not stick or bake on.

The various versions ensure it can be used in a wide range of applications, including

explosion-hazardous areas and foodstuffs.

The instruments are designed for use in industrial applications.

Typical applications:

grain, flour, milk powder, cocoa, sugar, animal feed,

washing powders, dyes, chalk, plaster, cement, plastic granules

2.2 Measuring System

The components of the measuring system are:

•Soliphant II

– FTM 30 DR compact sensor

– FTM 31 DR with extension tube

– FTM 32 DR with rope

•Separate housing with electronic insert

– FEM 41 for two-wire alternating power supply

– FEM 44 for universal power supply

and relay output with one potential-free switchover contact (SPDT)

– FEM 45 for universal power supply

and relay output with two potential-free switchover contacts (DPDT)

•Control systems or signal devices that may be connected such as miniature

contactors, alarm transmitters or programmable logic controllers

2.3 Function

The symmetrical vibrating fork is excited to its resonant frequency. When the fork is

covered by material, the vibrations are damped.

The tip of the fork is especially sensitive and makes it ideal for the limit detection of

materials that have a very low bulk density.

In contrast, the base of the fork is very insensitive and is therefore unaffected by

material build-up on the vessel walls.

The signal of the sensor is converted into a switching signal by the electronic insert in

the separate housing.

Soliphant can be operated in both minimum or maximum fail-safe mode, i.e. the

electronic switch opens or the relay de-energises when the minimum or maximum

level is reached, on fault or on power failure.

3.1 Design planning

General information Height of the switch point at the device:

Switching will occur

– if the tip of the fork is covered by high-density material to several millimetres,

– if the tip of the fork is covered by low-density and loosely-packed material

to several centimetres.

Pneumatic conveying systems:

Turbulence can cause error switching. The Soliphant should thus be mounted away

from air and material flows or is protected from strong air currents.

Inspecting or cleaning the silo:

Install the oscillating fork in a protected area.

Mounting in the open:

Install a protective hood for the Soliphant.

It protects the field-mounted Soliphant from condensation in the sensor housing F6

due to extreme temperature variations.

Soliphant FTM 30 DR The compact Soliphant FTM 30 DR can be mounted in any position in a bulk solids

vessel. See Fig. 3 for types of installation.

Take into account the angle of the mound or outflow funnel when determining the

height of the installation point.

Soliphant FTM 31 DRThe Soliphant FTM 31 DR with extension tube e.g.

– if mounting is only possible from above

– if the switch point is to be altered using the sliding sleeve (accessory)

– with heavy build-up on the silo wall (mounting from above or from the side)

Take into account the angle of the mound or outflow funnel:

– for calculating the required length of the sensor when ordering a

Soliphant FTM 31 DR

– for calculating the length of the mounting nozzle and mounting point, if you have an

instrument with a specific length.

The Soliphant FTM 31 DR may not be shortened!

Mounting from above:

Mount in the centre of the discharge hopper order to keep the lateral load caused by

discharging material to a minimum; or close to the vessel wall with an extra fastening

near to the fork.

Mounting from the side:

Only order the length of extension tube required as very strong forces can affect the

Soliphant due to outflowing material or when homogenising the material.

Fasten a very long Soliphant extension tube by using a tight-fitting nozzle or fastener.

Maximum length of a mounting nozzle:

Length of the Soliphant from process connection to the tip of the fork minus 7 in

(170 mm).

Check that there is enough space outside the silo for mounting.

Soliphant FTM 32 DR The Soliphant FTM 32 DR with rope if e.g.

– only top-mounting is possible

– there is strong build-up on the silo wall

– there is strong vibration of the silo

Take into account the angle of the mound or outflow funnel:

– for calculating the required length of the sensor when ordering a Soliphant

FTM 32 DR

– for calculating the length of mounting nozzle required and mounting point,

if you have an instrument with a specific length.

The Soliphant FTM32 DR may be shortened (with rope shortening set accessory).

The rope length cannot be increased.

The instrument should not be installed at the centre of the hopper but as near to the

vessel wall as possible in order to keep tension caused by discharging material to a

minimum. It should not, however, be so close that it touches the wall when it swings.

Check the stability of the roof and the tension acting on the rope. The tension caused

by material outflow is usually much higher with powders than with granular materials.

The Soliphant must be mounted outside the material stream when using pneumatic

conveying systems.
