Technical Information
Levelflex M FMP43
Guided Level-Radar
Continuous Level Transmitter for continuous level measurement
in liquids in hygienic applications.
Application
The Levelflex M FMP43 is used for continuous level
measurement of liquids in applications with special
hygienic requirements:
Materials
• All wetted components are FDA-listed and tested in
accordance with USP Cl. VI.
• Choice of mechanically polished or electropolished
metal surfaces up to 0.38 μm and low Δ ferrite
content.
Design
• The design is flush-mounted and gap-free and meets
ASME BPE requirements.
• The probe is completely dismountable; the probe rod,
process connection and seals are replaceable.
• Aseptic process connections from DN25 (1") are
available.
• The probe is autoclavable and suitable for CIP, SIP.
Approvals (hygiene)
• Approvals according to 3A and EHEDG
• Certificate of Compliance (CoC)
The following interfaces are available for system
integration:
• HART (standard) with 4 to 20 mA analog;
PROFIBUS PA, FOUNDATION Fieldbus
TI00424F/00/EN/15.12

Your benefits
• Measurement independent of product properties
such as:
– density,
– dielectric constant,
– conductivity.
• Measurement possible despite very turbulent
surfaces or foam.
• Easy menu-guided onsite operation via four-line plain
text display.
• Convenient remote operation, diagnosis and
documentation of the measuring point via the
FieldCare operating program which is provided free of
charge.
• Optional remote display and operation.
• Envelope curve presentation onsite on the display for
easy diagnosis.

  • Page 3: Function And System Design

    Levelflex M FMP43 Function and system design Measuring principle The Levelflex is a "downward-looking" measuring system that functions according to the ToF method (ToF = Time of Flight). The distance from the reference point (process connection of the measuring device, → ä 26) to the product surface is measured.
  • Page 4: Equipment Architecture

    Levelflex M FMP43 Output The Levelflex is initially adjusted at the factory to the probe length ordered, so that in most cases only the application parameters, that automatically adapt the device to the measuring conditions, need to be entered. For models with current output, the factory adjustment for zero point "E" and span is "F" 4 mA and 20 mA.
