  • Page 31 Levelflex FMP53 Mounting Installation close to tank wall By installing the probe close to the tank wall, the cleaning effect is improved in cases where a spray ball is used. The cleaning jet is deflected against the tank wall and onto the probe. This means that those parts of the probe are cleaned which would normally not be reached by the spray ball jet.
  • Page 32 Mounting Levelflex FMP53 To measure, Levelflex with a rod or rope probe needs a metallic surface at the process connection. Therefore: Mount a metal sheet with a diameter of at least 200 mm (8") to the probe at the process connection.
  • Page 33 Levelflex FMP53 Mounting The device looks for the end of probe signal in the subtracted curve. Thus, the value of the measured probe length depends on the mapping. In order to obtain an exact value, it is advisable to determine the probe length manually using the envelope curve display in FieldCare.
