We discuss detection strategies for fractional topological insulators (FTIs) realizing time-reversal invariant analogues of fractional quantum Hall systems in the Laughlin universality class. Focusing on transport measurements, we study the effect of magnetic perturbations on the edge modes. We find that the modes show unexpected robustness against magnetic backscattering for moderate couplings and edge interactions, allowing for various phase transitions signaling the FTI phase. We also describe protocols for extracting the universal integer m characterizing the phase and the edge interaction parameter from the conductance of setups with magnets and a quantum point contact.
