Case Study: Supply of Endress+Hauser FTL50H and FTL33 Level Switches to Tanzania

Project Location: Tanzania, East Africa
Customer: Industrial Engineering and Equipment Supplier
Supplier: Dalian Zero Instrument Technology Co., Ltd.
Manufacturer: Endress+Hauser
Products: Liquiphant FTL50H and FTL33 Vibrating Fork Level Switches
Project Status: Order Completed – Ready for Shipment

1. Project Overview

Zero Instrument recently completed an order for two Endress+Hauser Liquiphant vibrating fork level switches for an industrial engineering customer in Tanzania.

The order included two different models:

  • Endress+Hauser Liquiphant FTL50H-4XE2/0 – 1 unit

  • Endress+Hauser Liquiphant FTL33-10R4/0 – 1 unit

Both instruments were supplied with their specified order configurations, manufacturer identification labels, and accompanying product documentation.

The equipment has been received and prepared for international shipment.

This project demonstrates Zero Instrument’s capability to support overseas industrial customers with specific Endress+Hauser instrumentation requirements, including model identification, procurement coordination, and export order fulfillment.

2. Customer Requirements

The customer, an engineering parts and services company based in Tanzania, required two Endress+Hauser level switches with specific ordering codes.

For industrial maintenance, equipment replacement, and instrumentation procurement, ordering the correct configuration is particularly important.

Different versions of the same instrument family may have different electrical outputs, process connections, materials, and operating characteristics.

The customer’s order therefore required attention to the exact product identification and configuration.

The primary requirements were:

  • Supply the specified Endress+Hauser models.

  • Match the requested ordering codes.

  • Provide identifiable manufacturer-labeled instruments.

  • Include available product documentation.

  • Prepare the equipment for international transportation.

3. Supplied Equipment and Technical Details

3.1 Endress+Hauser Liquiphant FTL50H

Order Code: FTL50H-4XE2/0
Extended Order Code: FTL50H-DGW2AC2G5A
Quantity: 1 Unit
Manufacturer: Endress+Hauser

The Liquiphant FTL50H is a vibrating fork point level switch designed for liquid level detection in industrial processes.

Unlike continuous level transmitters, vibrating fork level switches detect whether liquid has reached a defined switching point.

The FTL50H series is particularly associated with applications requiring hygienic process instrumentation, subject to the selected process connection and configuration.

Typical applications of this instrument family include:

  • Liquid level monitoring in process vessels

  • High-level and low-level alarms

  • Pump dry-running protection

  • Tank overflow prevention

  • Point level detection in suitable hygienic processes

Configuration details confirmed from the supplied instrument label:

  • Supply voltage: 10–55 VDC

  • Electronic insert: FEL52

  • Output: Three-wire PNP

  • Electrical cable entry: M20 × 1.5

The exact process compatibility and installation conditions should be checked against the manufacturer’s technical documentation.

3.2 Endress+Hauser Liquiphant FTL33

Order Code: FTL33-10R4/0
Extended Order Code: FTL33-AA4M3ABWSJ
Quantity: 1 Unit
Manufacturer: Endress+Hauser

The Liquiphant FTL33 is a compact vibrating fork point level switch intended for liquid level detection in suitable industrial and hygienic applications.

Its compact construction makes it useful where installation space is limited.

Typical applications include:

  • Point level detection in small tanks

  • Liquid overflow protection

  • Pump protection

  • Liquid presence detection

  • Level monitoring in process equipment

Configuration details confirmed from the supplied instrument label:

  • Supply voltage: 10–30 VDC

  • Output: PNP

  • Pressure marking: –1 to 40 bar

Actual operating limits depend on the complete instrument configuration, process temperature, and installation conditions.

4. Procurement and Order Execution

After receiving the customer’s requirements, Zero Instrument arranged the procurement of the two specified Endress+Hauser instruments.

The order execution process involved several important steps.

Step 1: Model and Configuration Confirmation

The requested ordering codes were identified and recorded to ensure that the correct instrument configurations were supplied.

Step 2: Procurement Coordination

Zero Instrument coordinated the supply of the specified instruments and followed the order through the procurement process.

Step 3: Product Receipt and Identification

Upon receipt, the instruments were photographed with their manufacturer markings and ordering information visible.

The product photographs provide a reference for the customer to compare the delivered equipment with the requested configurations.

Step 4: Documentation and Packaging

The supplied equipment was accompanied by product documentation and protected in individual cardboard packaging with internal supports.

The packaging was prepared to protect the instruments during subsequent handling and transportation.

Step 5: Shipment Preparation

Following completion of the order, the customer was informed that both instruments were ready for shipment.

Actual product photographs were prepared for the customer’s review, with shipment tracking information to be provided once available.

5. Why Vibrating Fork Level Switches?

Vibrating fork technology is widely used for point level detection because it provides a practical method of detecting the presence or absence of liquid.

A vibrating fork sensor operates by exciting a tuning-fork-shaped sensing element at its resonant frequency.

When the fork comes into contact with liquid, its vibration characteristics change. The instrument electronics detect this change and generate a switching signal.

Key advantages of this measurement principle include:

Reliable Point Level Detection

The switching function does not require continuous level measurement, making the technology suitable for high-level and low-level monitoring.

No Moving Mechanical Float

The vibrating fork design avoids conventional mechanical float mechanisms.

Compact Instrument Options

Models such as the FTL33 offer compact installation possibilities for smaller process equipment.

Flexible Industrial Applications

Different Liquiphant configurations can support a wide range of liquid level detection requirements, depending on the selected materials, process connections, and operating limits.

6. Project Outcome

The order for the two Endress+Hauser level switches was successfully completed.

Both specified instruments were received, identified, photographed, and prepared for international shipment.

The completed supply included:

  • 1 × Endress+Hauser Liquiphant FTL50H-4XE2/0

  • 1 × Endress+Hauser Liquiphant FTL33-10R4/0

  • Manufacturer-labeled instruments

  • Accompanying product documentation

  • Protective product packaging

  • Product photographs for customer confirmation

At the time of this case study, the instruments were ready for shipment. Installation, commissioning, and field performance results have not yet been reported.

7. How Zero Instrument Supports International Customers

Industrial instrumentation procurement often involves more than selecting a product from a catalog.

Customers may need exact replacement models, configuration verification, manufacturer documentation, or assistance coordinating equipment supply across international markets.

Zero Instrument supports customers with:

  • Endress+Hauser instrumentation sourcing

  • Exact model and ordering code identification

  • Technical configuration coordination

  • Procurement and order follow-up

  • Product identification photographs

  • International shipping arrangements

  • Support for flow, level, pressure, temperature, and analytical instrumentation

Our goal is to simplify industrial instrument procurement for engineering contractors, distributors, maintenance companies, and industrial end users worldwide.

8. Conclusion

This Tanzania project represents another completed international instrumentation supply order by Zero Instrument.

By coordinating the procurement of the Endress+Hauser Liquiphant FTL50H and FTL33 level switches, Zero Instrument helped the customer obtain the requested equipment configurations and prepare them for overseas delivery.

For customers requiring Endress+Hauser level switches or other industrial instruments, accurate model identification and dependable procurement coordination are essential to successful order execution.
