  • Page 18 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus 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 19 Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Mounting Other installations • Select the mounting location such that the distance to internals (5) (e.g. limit switch, struts) > 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 20 Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus 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.
