The front cover contains short instructions for continuous level measurement with the Quick Operating Guides default parameters. Users unfamiliar with the Silometer FMX 570 must read the operating instructions, which In this manual are structured as follows: • Chapter 1: Introduction;... -
Page 8: Application
The capacitance or pressure measured by the sensor is converted into a frequency signal by the electronic insert located in its head. The Silometer FMX 570 supplies the power and receives a level-proportional frequency signal over a two-core cable. The signal is then processed to provide a level or volume measurement. -
Page 9: Measuring Principle
Chapter 1: Introduction Measuring principle The Silometer FMX 570 measures level on the basis of the capacitance and hydrostatic measurement principles. In both cases the measured value is processed by the electronic insert and passed on as a frequency signal. -
