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 suppression (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.
Note!
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 in) 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.
Note!
When mounting the electronics housing into a recess (e. g. in a concrete ceiling), observe a
minimum distance of 100 mm (4 in) between the cover of the terminal compartment/electronics
compartment and the wall. Otherwise the connection compartment/electronics compartment is
not accessible after installation.

6.1.2Applications with restricted mounting space
Mounting with remote sensor
The device version with a remote sensor is suited for applications with restricted mounting
space. In this case the electronics housing is mounted at a separate position from which it is
easier accessible.
Figure 6.2
AAngled plug at the probe
BAngled plug at the electronics housing
CLength of the remote cable as ordered
• Product structure, feature "Probe design": option B "Sensor remote, 3 m/9 ft cable"
• The remote cable is supplied with these device versions, minimum bending radius:
100 mm (4 in)
• 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 in)
• 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.
Note!
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.
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 noncontact 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.

•rope 6 mm (1/4 in), PA > steel: M14
•rope 8 mm (1/3 in), PA > steel: M20
• Preferably use the 6 mm (1/4 in) 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 1 cm/(1 m rope
length) [0.12 in/(1 ft rope length)].

Securing rod probes
• For Ex-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. 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.

Mounting rope probes
Warning!
Electrostatic discharges may damage the electronics.
• Earth the housing before lowering the rope into the vessel.
Figure 6.20
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.
Note!
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.

Using the device-specific access code, the parameters for the measuring device configuration
are write-protected and their values can no longer be changed via local operation.
2. Define a max. 4-digit numeric code as an access code.
Write protection is active.
Parameters that can always be changed
The write protection does not include certain parameters that do not affect the measurement.
Despite the defined access code, they can always be modified, even if the other parameters
are locked.
If no key is pressed for 10 minutes in the navigation and editing mode, the device automatically
locks the write-protected parameters. If the user goes from the navigation and editing mode
back to the measured value display mode, the device automatically locks the write-protected
parameters after 60 s.
Note!
• If write access is activated via access code, it can be also be deactivated only via the
access code.
• In the "Description of Device Parameters" documents, each write-protected parameter is
identified with the symbol.
8.2.4Disabling write protection via access code
If the symbol appears on the local display in front of a parameter, the parameter is writeprotected by a device-specific access code and its value cannot be changed at the moment
using the local display.
Disabling write protection
The locking of the write access via local operation can be disabled by entering the devicespecific access code.
1. After you press , the input prompt for the access code appears.
2. Enter the access code.
The symbol in front of the parameters disappears; all previously write-protected

10.6Configuration management
After commissioning, you can save the current device configuration, copy it to another
measuring point or restore the previous device configuration. You can do so using the
Configuration management parameter and its options.
• Cancel
No action is executed and the user exits the parameter.
• Execute backup
A backup copy of the current device configuration in the HistoROM
is saved to the display module of the device. The backup copy comprises the transmitter
and sensor data of the device.
• Restore
The last backup copy of the device configuration is copied from the display module to the
HistoROM of the device. The backup copy comprises the transmitter and sensor data of
the device.
• Duplicate
The transmitter configuration is duplicated to another device using the transmitter display
module. The following parameters, which characterize the individual measuring point are
not included in the transmitted configuration: medium type
• Compare
The device configuration saved in the display module is compared to the current device
configuration of the HistoROM. The result of this comparison is displayed in the
Comparison result parameter.
• Clear backup data
The backup copy of the device configuration is deleted from the display module of the
device.

(built-in in the device)
Note!
While this action is in progress, the configuration cannot be edited via the local display and a
message on the processing status appears on the display.
Note!
If an existing backup is restored to a different device using the Restore option, it may occur
that some device functionalities are no longer available. In some cases even a device reset will
not restore the original status.
In order to transmit a configuration to a different device, the Duplicate option should always be
used.
10.7Protection of the settings against unauthorized changes
There are two ways to protect the settings against unauthorized changes:
• Via parameter settings (software locking), see chapter 8
• Via locking switch (hardware locking), see chapter 8

13.1General information on repairs
13.1.1Repair concept
The Pepperl+Fuchs repair concept assumes that the devices have a modular design and that
repairs can be done by the Pepperl+Fuchs 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
Pepperl+Fuchs.
13.1.2Repairs 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
Pepperl+Fuchs Service.
• Comply with the prevailing standards, national Ex-area regulations, safety instructions (SI)
and certificates.
• Only use original spare parts from Pepperl+Fuchs.
• 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 Pepperl+Fuchs Service may convert a certified device into a different certified variant.
• Document all repair work and conversions.
13.1.3Replacement 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).
13.1.4Replacement 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.
•Via PACTware
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved to the computer via
PACTware.
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.
