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)

20 Endress+Hauser

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.

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.

2 Mounting kit isolated

• 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
– rope 4 mm (1/6"), 316: M 14
– rope 6 mm (1/4"), 316: M 20
– rope 6mm (1/4"), PA>steel: M14
– rope 8mm (1/3"), PA>steel: M20

• 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.

• In the case of a grounded fixing the search for a positive end-of-probe signal must be
activated. Otherwise an automatic probe length correction is impossible.
Navigation: Expert → Sensor → EOP evaluation → EOP search mode
Setting: Positive EOP option

• 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)].

Securing rod probes

• For WHG approvals: For probe lengths ≥ 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.

1 Probe rod, uncoated
2 Sleeve bored tight to ensure electrical contact between the rod and sleeve!
3 Short metal pipe, e.g. welded in place
4 Probe rod, coated
5 Plastic sleeve, e.g. PTFE, PEEK or PPS
6 Short metal pipe, e.g. welded in place

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 main electronics module.

‣

Before welding: Ground the probe and dismount electronics.

1. Using an Allen key, loosen the set screws at the end-of-probe weight. Note: The set
screws have got a clamping coating in order to prevent accidental loosening. Thus an
increased torque might be necessary to loosen them.

2. Remove released rope from the weight.

3. Measure off new rope length.

4. Wrap adhesive tape around the rope at the point to be shortened to prevent it from
fanning out.

5. Saw off the rope at a right angle or cut it off with a bolt cutter.

6. Insert the rope completely into the weight.

7. Screw the set screws into place. Due to the clamping coating of the setscrews
application of a screw locking fluid is not necessary.

6.2.3 Mounting the device

Mounting devices with thread

A0012528

Devices with mounting thread are screwed into a welding boss or a flange and are usually
also secured with these.

• Tighten with the hexagonal nut only:
– Thread 3/4": Hexagonal wrench 36 mm
– Thread 1-1/2": Hexagonal wrench 55 mm

• Maximum permissible torque:
– Thread 3/4": 45 Nm
– Thread 1-1/2": 450 Nm

• Recommended torque when using the supplied aramid fibre seal and a process
pressure of 40 bar (580 psi):
– Thread 3/4": 25 Nm
– Thread 1-1/2": 140 Nm

• When installing in metal containers, take care to ensure good metallic contact
between the process connection and container.

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

A0012529

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.

Mounting rope probes in a partially full silo

It is not always possible to empty a silo which is already in operation. If a minimum of
2/3 of the silo is empty, it is possible to install the probe into the partially filled silo. If
possible, make a visual check after the installation to see that the rope has not
tangled or is lying such that it can knot when the level falls. Before full accuracy is
obtained the probe rope must hang fully extended.

6.2.4 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.

CAUTION

L

The plugs of the connection cable may be damaged by mechanical stress.

Mount the probe and the electronics housing tightly before connecting the cable.

‣

Lay the cable such that it is not exposed to mechanical stress. Minimum bending

‣

radius: 100 mm (4").
When connecting the cable: Connect the straight plug before the angled one. Torque

‣

for both coupling nuts: 6 Nm.

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.

If the measuring point is exposed to strong vibrations, an additional locking
compound (e.g. Loctite 243) can be applied at the plug connectors.

14 Repairs

14.1 General information on repairs

14.1.1 Repair concept

The Endress+Hauser repair concept assumes that the devices have a modular design and
that repairs can be done by the Endress+Hauser service or specially trained customers.

Spare parts are contained in suitable kits. They contain the related replacement
instructions.

For more information on service and spare parts, contact the Service Department at
Endress+Hauser.

14.1.2 Repairs to Ex-approved devices

When carrying out repairs to Ex-approved devices, please note the following:

• Repairs to Ex-approved devices may only be carried out by trained personnel or by the
Endress+Hauser Service.

• Comply with the prevailing standards, national Ex-area regulations, safety instructions
(XA) and certificates.

• Only use original spare parts from Endress+Hauser.

• When ordering a spare part, please note the device designation on the nameplate. Only
replace parts with identical parts.

• Carry out repairs according to the instructions. On completion of repairs, carry out the
specified routine test on the device.

• Only Endress+Hauser Service may convert a certified device into a different certified
variant.

• Document all repair work and conversions.

14.1.3 Replacement of an electronics module

If an electronics module has been replaced, it is not necessary to perform a new basic setup
as the calibration parameters are stored in the HistoROM which is located in the housing.
However, after exchanging the main electronics module it may be necessary to record a
new mapping (interference echo suppression).

14.1.4 Replacement of a device

After a complete device or electronic module has been replaced, the parameters can be
downloaded into the instrument again in one of the following ways:

• Via the display module
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved in the display module
→  161.

• Via FieldCare
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved to the computer via
FieldCare.

You can continue to measure without carrying out a new setup. Only a linearization and a
tank map (interference echo suppression) have to be recorded again.
