  • Page 20 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 with HART/4...20 mA 3.4.5 Engineering hints for level measurement in bulk solids and fluids • Normally, rope probes should be used for bulk solids, rod probes are only suitable for short measuring ranges up to approx. 2 m in bulk solids. This applies above all to applications in which the probe is installed laterally at an angle and for light and pourable bulk solids.
  • Page 21 Levelflex M FMP40 with HART/4...20 mA Mounting Other installations • Select the mounting location such that the distance to internals (5) (e.g. limit switch, struts) > is 300 mm over the entire length of the probe, also during operation. • Probe must within the measuring span not touch any internals during operation.
  • Page 22 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 with HART/4...20 mA Type of probe installation • Probes are mounted to the process connection with threaded connections or flanges and are usually also secured with these. If during this installation there is the danger that the probe end moves so much that it touches the tank floor or cone at times, the probe must, if necessary, be shortened and fixed down.
  • Page 23 Levelflex M FMP40 with HART/4...20 mA Mounting Supporting probes against warping For WHG or Ex approval: For probe lengths ≥ 3 m a support is required (see figure). For GL/ABS approval: Rod probes ∅ 16 mm ≤ 1 m permissible, Rod probes ∅ 6 mm not permissible.
  • Page 24 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 with HART/4...20 mA 3.4.6 Special notes for bulk solids • In the case of bulk solids, as great a distance as possible from the filling curtain is especially important to avoid wear. • In concrete silos, a large distance (B) should be observed between the probe and the concrete wall, if possible >= 1m, but at least...
  • Page 25 Levelflex M FMP40 with HART/4...20 mA Mounting 3.4.7 Installation in bulk solid silos Tensile load Bulk solids exert tensile forces on rope probes whose height increases with: • the length of the probe, i.e. max. cover, • the bulk density of the product, •...

  • Page 29 Levelflex M FMP40 with HART/4...20 mA Mounting 3.4.9 Notes on special installation situations Welding the probe into the vessel " Caution! Before welding the probe into the vessel, it must be grounded by a low-resistive connection. If this is not possible, the electronics as well as the HF module must be disconnected. Otherwise the electronics may be damaged.
