Key Features

The FTSD 2005 combines intelligent control, robust material selection, and a unique redundant pumping architecture to deliver hands‑off DEF transfer. Its advanced controller and safety features ensure reliable operation while protecting your valuable equipment and fluid supply.

Redundant Dual Pump Design: The system is equipped with two 1/3 HP rotary vane pumps. This configuration not only extends the operational life of the pumps by alternating their duty cycles but also provides critical system redundancy. In the unlikely event of a single pump failure, the FTSD 2005 can continue transferring DEF using the secondary pump, ensuring your operations remain unaffected.
Rugged NEMA 4X Stainless Steel Enclosure: Housed in a 304 stainless steel cabinet rated NEMA 4X, the system offers superior protection against corrosion, windblown dust, splashing water, and hose‑directed washdowns. This rugged construction ensures reliable performance in the most demanding indoor and outdoor industrial environments, from dusty loading bays to rain‑exposed bulk storage areas.
Advanced System Automation Controller: The programmable controller allows for fully automated and customizable operation. It features an intuitive touchscreen for local programming, a runtime totalizer for maintenance tracking, and an alarm history log for troubleshooting. This intelligence allows the system to operate hands‑off, transferring DEF precisely when and as needed.
Comprehensive Safety & Alarm Features: User safety and equipment protection are paramount. The FTSD 2005 includes an emergency stop push button, external indicators, and integrated alarms for leak detection, pressure monitoring, and vacuum sensing. These features can automatically halt operations upon detecting an anomaly, protecting personnel and preventing potential fluid spills.
Robust Industrial Construction with Stainless Steel Plumbing: From the 1‑inch male flare inlet and outlet ports to the internal piping, the system utilizes durable stainless steel for all fluid contact surfaces. This material choice ensures long‑term chemical compatibility with DEF, prevents corrosion, and maintains fluid purity throughout the transfer process.
Seamless External System Integration: The system automation controller is equipped with Modbus, TCP/IP, LAN, and internet capability. This allows the FTSD 2005 to directly communicate with external building management systems (BMS), SCADA platforms, or a network operations center, enabling remote monitoring, control, and data logging.

Applications

Fleet Maintenance Facilities: Ideal for central DEF distribution points, ensuring a steady supply for a fleet of trucks, buses, or heavy‑duty vehicles returning to the depot, eliminating the need for individual vehicle topping‑up.
Industrial Generator Installations: Critical for standby power systems at data centers or hospitals where a diesel generator's SCR system must have a constant supply of DEF to maintain emissions compliance and operational readiness during extended power outages.
Rail and Locomotive Servicing: Well‑suited for rail yards where locomotives require rapid and reliable DEF refilling. The system can be integrated into existing fueling infrastructure to streamline the servicing process.
Marine Vessels: Effective for large marine diesel engines equipped with SCR aftertreatment. The FTSD 2005 automates the transfer of DEF from a bulk storage tank to a day tank, ensuring the main engine always has a sufficient supply for emissions control during long voyages.
Construction and Mining Operations: Suitable for remote job sites with heavy earthmoving equipment. The system can be installed as part of a mobile or temporary refueling station to provide on‑demand DEF to multiple machines.
Agricultural Operations: Valuable for large farming operations with a fleet of tractors and harvesters. The system can be integrated into a central fuel island, allowing for one‑stop refueling and DEF filling, increasing operational efficiency.

The FTSD 2005 is specifically designed and constructed for use with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), also known as AdBlue. The system is not approved for use with fuels or fluids that have a flash point below 100°F (37.8°C).

A NEMA 4X enclosure provides the highest level of protection in its class. It is weather‑resistant, protecting internal components against rain, sleet, snow, and ice. Importantly, the "X" rating also indicates it is corrosion‑resistant, making it essential for environments where the system may be exposed to chemicals, salt spray, or high humidity.

The dual‑pump configuration significantly increases system uptime. The controller can be set to alternate between the two pumps, balancing wear and effectively doubling the system's service life. Critically, if one pump fails, the second pump can automatically take over, ensuring your DEF supply is not interrupted.

Yes. The system automation controller includes multiple communication protocols, including Modbus, TCP/IP, LAN, and standard internet capability. This allows the FTSD 2005 to be directly integrated as a node on your network for remote monitoring and control.

The system is equipped with a multi‑layered safety approach. A leak detector is integrated into the unit's base to sense any fluid accumulation. Additionally, a pressure switch and a vacuum switch monitor the system's state and can trigger an automatic shutdown if an anomaly is detected.

Yes. Upstream of the pumps, the system incorporates a basket strainer. This component is designed to catch large debris and other contaminants that may be present in the source tank, preventing them from entering and damaging the precision components of the rotary vane pumps.
