Measuring principle Level measurement

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).

Levelflex FMP56, FMP57

A0012838

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.

Input

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 time­offlight 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

Reference point for "E" see diagram above.

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.

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, rope probes should be used for bulk solids, rod probes are only suitable for short measuring ranges
up to approx. 2 m (6.6 ft) in bulk solids. This applies above all to applications in which the probe is installed
laterally at an angle and for light and pourable bulk solids.

• In the case of large silos, the lateral pressure on the rope can be so high that a rope with plastic jacketing
must be used. We recommend PA-coated ropes be used for cereal products wheat, flour etc..

Probe selection

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

Maximum measured error

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).

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 HAW262Z.

Performance characteristics

• Temperature = +24 °C (+75 °F) ±5 °C (±9 °F)

• Pressure = 960 mbar abs. (14 psia) ±100 mbar (±1.45 psi)

• Humidity = 60 % ±15 %

• Reflection factor ≥ 0,8 (metal plate for rod and rope probe with min. 1 mm (0.04 in) diameter)

– span (20 mA): average TK = 0.05 %/10 K

Operating conditions: Installation

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: > 10 mm (0.4").

Additional conditions

• When mounting in the open: Use a weather protection cover (1)

• In metallic vessels: Do not mount the probe in the center of the vessel (2).

• 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.

• Check the probe regularly for defects.

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 and the wall.

Tensile load

Bulk solids exert tensile forces on rope probes whose height increases with:

• the length of the probe, i.e. max. cover

• the bulk density of the product,

• the silo diameter and

• the diameter of the probe rope
The following diagrams show typical loads for frequently occurring bulk solids as reference values. The

calculation is performed for the following conditions:

• Suspended probe (probe end not fixed at the bottom)

• Free-flowing bulk solid, i.e. mass flow. A calculation for core flow is not possible. In the event of collapsing
cornices, considerably higher loads can occur.

• The specification for tensile forces contains the safety factor 2, which compensates for the normal fluctuation
range in pourable bulk solids.

Since the tensile forces are also heavily dependent on the viscosity of the product, a higher safety factor is
necessary for highly viscous products and if there is a risk of cornice buildup. In critical cases it is better to use
a 6 mm rope instead of a 4 mm one.

The same forces also act on the silo cover. On a fixed rope, the tensile forces are definitely greater, but this can
not be calculated. Observe the tensile strength of the probes.

Options for reducing the tensile forces:

• Shorten the probe.

• If the maximum tensile load is exceeded, check whether it would be possible to use a non-contact Ultrasonic
or Level-Radar device.

Type of probe installation

• Probes are mounted to the process connection with threaded connections or flanges and are usually also
secured with these. 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. The
easiest way to fix the rope probes is to screw them to the internal thread on the lower end of the weight
(® ä 25).

• The ideal installation is mounting in a screwed joint / screw-in sleeve which is internally flush with the
container ceiling.

• Alternative: nozzle mounting

A0012526

Mounting with screwed joint; flush with the container ceiling

2 Nozzle mounting

•

Permissible nozzle diameter: £ 150 mm (6 in).
For larger diameters the near range measuring capability may be reduced.

•

Permissible nozzle height: £ 150 mm (6 in).
For a larger height the near range measuring capability may be reduced.

Extension rod for FMP57

If - for installations in nozzles > 150 mm (6 in) - the probe could touch the lower nozzle edge due to moving
materials in the container, we recommend using an extension rod with or without centering disk (HMP40, see
"Accessories").

This accessory consists of the extension rod corresponding to the nozzle height, on which a centering
disk is also mounted if the nozzles are narrow or when working in bulk solids. This component is delivered
separately from the device. Please order the probe length correspondingly shorter.

Only use centering disks with small diameters (DN40 and DN50) if there is no significant build-up in the
nozzle above the disk. The nozzle must not become clogged by the product.

Installation in nozzles ³ DN300

If installation in ≥ 300mm/12" nozzles is unavoidable, installation must be carried out in accordance with the
sketch on the right.

Installation in concrete silos

Installation, for example, into a thick concrete ceiling should be made flush with the lower edge. Alternatively,
the probe can also be installed into a pipe that must not protrude over the lower edge of the silo ceiling. The
pipe should kept at a minimum length. Installation suggestions see diagram.

Securing rod probes

• 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.

NOTICE

Poor grounding of the end of probe may cause measuring errors.

►

Apply a narrow sleeve which has good electrical contact to the probe.

NOTICE

Welding may damage the electronics.

►

Before welding: Ground the probe and dismount electronics.

2 Reliably isolated end of probe

• The end of the probe needs to be secured under the following conditions:

– if otherwise the probe sporadically comes into contact with the wall of the vessel, the outlet cone, internal

fittings or other parts of the installation.

– if otherwise the probe sporadically gets close to a concrete wall (minimum distance 0.5 m / 20 inch).

• The end of probe can be secured at its internal thread

– for 4 mm (1/6") rope: M 14
– for 6 mm (1/4") rope: M 20

• Preferably use the 6 mm (1/4") rope probe due to the higher tensile strength when fixing a rope probe.

• The fixing must be either reliably grounded or reliably insulated. If it is not possible to mount the probe

weight with a reliably insulated connection, it can be secured using an isolated eyelet, which is available as
an accessory (® ä 49).

• In order to prevent an extremely high tensile load (e.g. due to thermal expansion) and the risk of rope crack,

the rope has to be slack. Make the rope longer than the required measuring range such that there is a sag in
the middle of the rope that is ≥ 1cm/(1 m rope length) [0.12 inch/(1 ft rope length)]. Tensile load limit of
rope probes: (® ä 21)

2 Metal sheet or metal flange

To measure, Levelflex with a rod probe needs a metallic surface at the process connection. Therefore:

• Select an instrument version with metal flange (minimum size DN50/2").

• Or: mount a metal sheet with a diameter of at least 200 mm (8") to the probe at the process connection. Its

orientation must be perpendicular to the probe.

Installation 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 the points labeled "MAX" in the drawings.

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.

Electromagnetic compatibility to EN 61326 and NAMUR Recommendation EMC (NE21). Details are provided
in the Declaration of Conformity. A standard installation cable is sufficient if only the analog signal is used.

Use a shielded cable when working with a superimposed communications signal (HART).

Maximum measured error: < 0.5 % of the span.

When installing the probes in metal and concrete tanks and when using a coax probe:

• Interference emission to EN 61326 - x series, electrical equipment Class B.

• Interference immunity to EN 61326 - x series, requirements for industrial areas and NAMUR

Recommendation NE 21 (EMC)

The measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields when installing rod and rope probes
without a shielding/metallic wall, e.g. in plastic and wooden silos.

• Interference emission to EN 61326 - x series, electrical equipment Class A.

• Interference Immunity: the measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields.

Integrated 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.
