6.1 Mounting requirements

6.1.1 Suitable mounting position

A0021468
 4 Mounting requirements for Levelflex
Mounting distances
• Distance (A) between wall and rod or rope probe: – for smooth metallic walls: > 50 mm (2 in) – for plastic walls: > 300 mm (12 in) to metallic parts outside the vessel – for concrete walls: > 500 mm (20 in), otherwise the available measuring range may be
reduced.
• Distance (B) between rod or rope probe and internal fittings in the vessel: > 300 mm (12 in)
• When using more than one Levelflex: Minimum distance between the sensor axes: 100 mm (3.94 in)
• Distance (C) from end of probe to bottom of the vessel: – Rope probe: > 150 mm (6 in) – Rod probe: > 10 mm (0.4 in)
Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 PROFIBUS PA Mounting
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.
• 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 / electronics compartment and the wall. Otherwise the connection compartment / electronics compartment is not accessible after installation.

1) The ceiling of the silo must be designed to withstand this load.
1)
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
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.
The following diagrams show typical loads for frequently occurring bulk solids as reference values. The calculation is performed for the following conditions:
• Calculation according to DIN 1055, Part 6 for the cylindrical part of the silo.
• 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 (in addition to the safety factors already taken into account by DIN 1055), which compensates for the normal fluctuation range in pourable bulk solids.

Rod extension/centering HMP40 for FMP57
For FMP57 with rope probes the rod extension/centering HMP 40 is available as an accessory →  96. It has to be used if otherwise the probe rope comes into contact with the lower edge of the nozzle.
For FMP57 with rope probes the rod extension/centering HMP 40 is available as an accessory. It has to be used if otherwise the probe rope comes into contact with the lower edge of the nozzle.
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.
Centering disks with small diameters (DN40 and DN50) may only be used if there is no significant build-up in the nozzle above the disk. The nozzle must not become clogged by the product.
