Function and system design

Measuring principle Füllstandmessung

The Levelflex is a "downward-looking" measuring system that functions according to the ToF method (ToF =
Time of Flight). The distance from the reference point to the product surface is measured. High-frequency pulses
are injected to a probe and led along the probe. The pulses are reflected by the product surface, received by
the electronic evaluation unit and converted into level information. This method is also known as TDR (Time
Domain Reflectometry).

E

100%

0%

LN

R

A0011360

LN = probe length R = reference point of measurement

D = distace E = empty calibration (= zero)

L = level F = full calibration (= span)

Dielectric constant

The dielectric constant (DC) of the medium has a direct impact on the degree of reflection of the highfrequency
pulses. In the case of large DC values, such as for water or ammonia, there is strong pulse reflection while,
with low DC values, such as for hydrocarbons, weak pulse reflection is experienced.

Eingang

The reflected pulses are transmitted from the probe to the electronics. There, a microprocessor analyzes the
signals and identifies the level echo which was generated by the reflection of the high-frequency pulses at the
product surface. This clear signal detection system benefits from over 30 years' experience with pulse time-of­flight procedures that have been integrated into the development of the PulseMaster® software.

The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the impulse:

D = c · t/2,

where c is the speed of light.

Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:

L = E – D

The reference point R of the measurement is located at the process connection. For details see the dimensional
drawing:
FMP50: (® ä 34)

The Levelflex possesses functions for interference echo suppression that can be activated by the user. They
guarantee that interference echoes from e.g. internals and struts are not interpreted as level echoes.

Levelflex FMP50

Endress+Hauser 5

Output

The Levelflex is preset at the factory to the probe length ordered so that in most cases only the application
parameters that automatically adapt the device to the measuring conditions need to be entered. For models
with a current output, the factory adjustment for zero point E and span F is 4 mA and 20 mA, for digital outputs
and the display module 0 % and 100 %. A linearization function with max. 32 points, which is based on a table
entered manually or semi-automatically, can be activated on site or via remote operation. This function allows
the level to be converted into units of volume or mass, for example.

Measuring system General notes on probe selection

Normally use rod probes for liquids. Rope probes are used in liquids for measuring ranges > 4 m (13 ft) and
with restricted ceiling clearance which does not allow the installation of rigid probes.

Probe selection

The various types of probe in combination with the process connections are suitable for the following
applications:

Input

Measured variable

The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface.

Subject to the empty distance entered "E" the level is calculated.

Alternatively, the level can be converted into other variables (volume, mass) by means of linearization (32
points).

Blocking distance (factory setting):

• with rod and rope probes up to 8 m (26 ft): 200 mm (8 in)

• with rod and rope probes exceeding a length of 8 m (26 ft): 0.025 * (length of probe)
The specified blocking distances are preset on delivery. Depending on the application these settings can

be changed.

For rod and rope probes and for media with DC > 7 (or generally for stilling well/bypass applications) the
blocking distance may be reduced to 100 mm (4").

Within the blocking distance, a reliable measurement can not be guaranteed.
A safety distance SD can be defined in addition to the blocking distance. A warning is generated if the

level rises into this safety distance.

►

Disconnect the supply voltage before disconnecting the protective earth (7).

Connect protective earth (7) to the internal ground terminal (7) before connecting the supply voltage. If
necessary, connect the potential matching line to the external ground terminal (4).

In order to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): Do not only ground the device via the protective
earth conductor of the supply cable. Instead, the functional grounding must also be connected to the
process connection (flange or threaded connection) or to the external ground terminal.

An easily accessible power switch must be installed in the proximity of the device. The power switch
must be marked as a disconnector for the device (IEC/EN61010).

Potential equalization

No special measures for potential equalization are required.

If the device is designed for hazardous areas, observe the information in the documentation "Safety
Instructions" (XA, ZD).

Overvoltage protection

If the measuring device is used for level measurement in flammable liquids which requires the use of overvoltage
protection according to DIN EN 60079-14, standard for test procedures 60060-1 (10 kA, pulse 8/20 ms),
overvoltage protection has to be ensured by one of the following measures:

• Integrated overvoltage protection (in preparation);
Product structure: Feature 610 "Accessory mounted", option NA "Overvoltage protection".

• External overvoltage protection, e.g. Endress+Hauser's HAW562 or HAW569.

Mounting distances

• Distance (A) between wall and rod or rope probe:
– for smooth metallic walls: > 50 mm (2")
– for plastic walls: > 300 mm (12") mm to metallic parts outside the vessel
– for concrete walls: > 500 mm (20") , otherwise the available measuring range may be reduced.

• Distance (B) between rod or rope probe and internal fittings in the vessel: > 300 mm (12")

• Distance (C) from end of probe to bottom of the vessel:
– Rope probe: > 150 mm (6 in)
– Rod probe: > 10 mm (0.4 in)

Additional conditions

• When mounting in the open, a weather protection cover (1) may be installed to protect the device against
extreme weather conditions.

• In metallic vessels: Preferably do not mount the probe in the center of the vessel (2), as this would lead to
increased interference echoes.
If a central mounting position can not be avoided, it is crucial to perform an interference echo
suppresion(mapping) after the commissioning of the device.

• Do not mount the probe in the filling curtain (3).

• Avoid buckling the rope probe during installation or operation (e.g. through product movement against silo
wall) by selecting a suitable mounting location.

With suspended rope probes (probe end not fixed at the bottom) the distance between the probe rope
and internal fittings in the tank must not fall below 300 mm (12") during the entire process. A sporadic
contact between the probe weight and the cone of the vessel, however, does not influence the
measurement as long as the dielectric constant of the medium is at least DC = 1.8.

When mounting the electronics housing into a recess (e.g. in a concrete ceiling), observe a minimum
distance of 100 mm (4 inch) between the cover of the terminal compartment / electronics compartment
and the wall. Otherwise the connection compartment / electronics compartment is not accessible after
installation.

Applications with restricted
mounting space

Mounting with remote sensor

The device version with a remote sensor is suited for applications with restricted mounting space. In this case
the electronics housing is mounted at a separate position from which it is easier accessible.

Probes are mounted to the process connection with threaded connections or flanges. If during this installation
there is the danger that the probe end moves so much that it touches the tank floor or cone at times, the probe
must, if necessary, be shortened and fixed down. (® ä 23).

not work.

Securing rod probes

•

For Ex-approvals: For probe lengths ³ 3 m (10 ft) a support is required.

• In general, rod probes must be supported if there is a horizontal flow (e.g. from an agitator) or in the case of

strong vibrations.

• Rod probes may only be supported at the end of the probe.

• Pipe diameter: > 40 mm (1.6") for rod probes

• Rod probe installation can take place up to a diameter size of 100 mm. In the event of larger diameters,

FMP51 with a coax probe is recommended.

• Side disposals, holes or slits and welded joints that protrude up to approx. 5 mm (0.2") inwards do not

influence the measurement.

• The pipe may not exhibit any steps in diameter.

• The probe must be 100 mm longer than the lower disposal.

• Within the measuring range, the probe must not get into contact with the pipe wall. If necessary, use a center

washer (see feature 610 of the product structure).

For bypasses with condensate formation (water) and a medium with low dielectric constant (e.g.
hydrocarbons):

In the course of time the bypass is filled with condensate up to the lower disposal and for low levels the
the level echo is superimposed by the condensate echo. Thus in this range the condensate level is measured
instead of the correct level. Only higher levels are measured correctly. To prevent this, position the lower
disposal 100 mm (4 in) below the lowest level to be measured and apply a metallic centering disk at the
height of the lower edge of the lower disposal.

With heat insulated tanks the bypass should also be insulated in order to prevent condensate formation.

Mounting conditions:

• The probe must be mounted directly to the tank wall (no open space)

• A plastic half pipe with a diameter of approx. 200 mm (8"), or some other protective unit, must be affixed
externally to the probe to prevent any influences on the measurement.

• If the tank diameter is less than 300 mm (12"):
A metallic grounding sheet must be installed at the opposite side of the tank. The sheet must be conductively
connected to the process connection and cover about the half of the vessel's circumference.

• If the tank diameter exceeds 300 mm (12"):
A metal sheet with a diameter of at least 200 mm (8") must be mounted to the probe at the process connection.
Its orientation must be perpendicular to the probe (see above).

Vessels with heat insulation

If process temperatures are high, the device must be included in normal tank insulation to prevent the
electronics heating up as a result of heat radiation or convection. The insulation may not exceed beyond

Cleaning the probe

Depending on the application, contamination or buildup can accumulate on the probe. A thin, even layer only
influences measurement slightly. Thick layers can dampen the signal and then reduce the measuring range.
Severe, uneven buildup, adhesion e.g. through crystallization, can lead to incorrect measurement. In this case,
we recommend that you use a non-contact measuring principle, or check the probe regularly for soiling.

Integration in tank gauging
system

The Endress+Hauser Tank Side Monitor NRF590 provides integrated communications for sites with multiple
tanks, each with one or more sensors on the tank, such as radar, spot or average temperature, capacitive probe
for water detection and/or pressure sensors. Multiple protocols out of the Tank Side Monitor guarantee
connectivity to nearly any of the existing industry standard tank gauging protocols. Optional connectivity of
analog 4...20 mA sensors, digital I/O and analog output simplify full tank sensor integration. Use of the proven
concept of the intrinsically safe HART bus for all on-tank sensors yields extremely low wiring costs, while at
the same time providing maximum safety, reliability and data availability.

System integration via
Fieldgate

Vendor Managed Inventory

By using Fieldgates to interrogate tank or silo levels remotely, suppliers of raw materials can provide their regular
customers with information about the current supplies at any time and, for example, account for them in their
own production planning. For their part, the Fieldgates monitor the configured level limits and, if required,
automatically activate the next supply. The spectrum of options here ranges from a simple purchasing requisition
via e-mail through to fully automatic order administration by coupling XML data into the planning systems on
both sides.

Remote maintenance of measuring equipment

Fieldgates not only transfer the current measured values, they also alert the responsible standby personnel, if
required, via e-mail or SMS. In the event of an alarm or also when performing routine checks, service technicians
can diagnose and configure connected HART devices remotely. All that is required for this is the corresponding
HART operating tool (e.g. FieldCare, ...) for the connected device. Fieldgate passes on the information
transparently, so that all options for the respective operating software are available remotely. Some on-site
service operations can be avoided by using remote diagnosis and remote configuration and all others can at
least be better planned and prepared.
