Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Mounting 6.1.4 Information concerning the process connection Probes are mounted on the process connection with threaded connections or flanges. If there is the danger with this installation that the probe end moves so much that it occasionally touches the vessel floor or cone, the probe may need to be shortened at the lower end and fixed in place.

Page 31 Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Mounting Non-metal vessels A0012527 Non-metal vessel Metal sheet or metal flange To ensure good measurement results when mounting on non-metal vessels • Use a device with a metal flange (minimum size DN50/2"). • Alternatively: at the process connection, mount a metal sheet with a diameter of at least 200 mm (8 in) at a right angle to the probe.
Page 32 Mounting Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Vessel with thermal insulation If process temperatures are high, the device must be included in normal vessel insulation (1) in order to prevent the electronics heating up as a result of thermal radiation or convection.
