2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for the personnel
The personnel must fulfill the following requirements for its tasks:
‣
Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task
‣
Are authorized by the plant owner/operator
‣
Are familiar with federal/national regulations
‣
Before beginning work, the specialist staff must have read and understood the instructions
in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation as well as in the
certificates (depending on the application)
‣
Following instructions and basic conditions
2.2 Designated use
Application and measured materials
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is intended only for level
measurement of bulk solids. Depending on the version ordered the device can 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 variables: level
‣
Calculated process variables: Volume or 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.

Hazardous area
To eliminate a danger for persons or for the facility when the device is used in the hazardous
area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety):
‣
Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the intended
use in the hazardous area.
‣
Observe the specifications in the separate supplementary documentation that is an integral
part of these Instructions.
2.5 Product safety
This measuring device is designed in accordance with good engineering practice to meet stateof-the-art safety requirements, has been tested, and left the factory in a condition in which
they are safe to operate.
It meets general safety standards and legal requirements. It also complies with the EC
directives listed in the device-specific EC Declaration of Conformity. Endress+Hauser confirms
this by affixing the CE mark to the device.

– 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.

• When using more than one Levelflex:
Minimum distance between the sensor axes: 100 mm (3.94 in)

– Rope probe: > 150 mm (6 in)
– Rod probe: > 10 mm (0.4 in)

B Reliably grounded end of probe
C Reliably isolated end of probe
1: Mounting and contact with a bolt
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 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.
