also measure potentially explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing materials.
Observing the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and listed in the Operating
Instructions and supplementary documentation, the measuring device may be used for the
following measurements only:
Measured process variable: Level and/or interface
‣
Calculated process variable: Volume oder mass in arbitrarily shaped vessels (calculated
‣
from the level by the linearization functionality)
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
Use the measuring device only for measured materials against which the process-
‣
wetted materials are adequately resistant.
Observe the limit values in "Technical data".
‣
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Verification for borderline cases:
For special measured materials and cleaning agents, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide
‣
assistance in verifying the corrosion resistance of wetted materials, but does not accept
any warranty or liability.
Residual risk
The electronics housing and its built-in components such as display module, main
electronics module and I/O electronics module may heat to 80 °C (176 °F) during operation
through heat transfer from the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics.
During operation the sensor may assume a temperature near the temperature of the
measured material.
Danger of burns due to heated surfaces!
For high process temperatures: Install protection against contact in order to prevent
‣
burns.

NOTICE
Shipping lock for FMP5x with coax probe
For FMP5x with coax probe the coax tube is not fixed permanently to the electronics
‣
housing. For shipping and transport it is secured with two cable ties. In order to prevent
the spacer at the probe rod from moving along the probe, these cable ties must not be
loosened when transporting and mounting the device. They may only be undone
directly before screwing the device flange to the process connection.

• The remote cable is supplied with these device versions
Minimum bending radius: 100 mm (4 inch)
• A mounting bracket for the electronics housing is supplied with these device versions.
Mounting options:
– Wall mounting
– Pipe mounting; diameter: 42 to 60 mm (1-1/4 to 2 inch)
• The connection cable has got one straight and one angled plug (90°). Depending on the
local conditions the angled plug can be connected at the probe or at the electronics
housing.
Probe, electronics and connection cable are adjusted to match each other. They are
marked by a common serial number. Only components with the same serial number
shall be connected to each other.
• Use flange screws according to the number of flange holes.
• Tighten the screws with the required torque (see table).
• Retighten the screws after 24 hours or after the first temperature cycle.
• Depending on process pressure and process temperature check and retighten the
screws at regular intervals.
Usually, the PTFE flange cladding also serves as a seal between the nozzle and the
device flange.

• Pipe diameter: > 40 mm (1.6") for rod probes
• Rod probe installation can take place up to a diameter size of 150 mm (6 in). In the
event of larger diameters, 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.
26Endress+Hauser
Levelflex FMP55 HARTMounting
• Within the measuring range, the probe must not get into contact with the pipe wall. If
necessary, secure the probe by retaining or tensioning. All rope probes are prepared for
tensioning in containers (tensioning weight with anchor hole).
• Within the measuring range, the probe must not get into contact with the pipe wall. If
necessary, use a PFA centering star (see feature 610 of the product structure).
The spacer is also available as an accessory: → 91.
• Coax probes can always be applied if there is enough mounting space.
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.
For information on bypass solutions from Endress+Hauser please contact your
Endress+Hauser sales representative.

Flange mounting
If a seal is used, be sure to use unpainted metal bolts to ensure good electrical contact
between probe flange and process flange.
Mounting rope probes
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharges may damage the electronics.
Earth the housing before lowering the rope into the vessel.
‣
A0012852
When lowering the rope probe into the vessel, observe the following:
• Uncoil rope and lower it slowly and carefully into the vessel.
• Do not kink the rope.
• Avoid any backlash, since this might damage the probe or the vessel fittings.
6.2.3 Mounting the "Sensor remote" version
This section is only valid for devices of the version "Probe Design" = "Sensor remote"
(feature 600, option MB/MC/MD).
For the version "Probe design" = "Sensor remote" the following is supplied:
• The probe with the process connection
• The electronics housing
• The mounting bracket for wall or pipe mounting of the electronics housing
• The connection cable (length as ordered). The cable has got one straight and one angled
plug (90°). Depending on the local conditions the angled plug can be connected at the
probe or at the electronics housing.
