Levelflex M FMP40 FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Minimum distance B of the probe to the container wall:
Wall
Metal
Plastic
Concrete
Distance to protruding internals min. 300 mm.
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.
If necessary: when using rope probes the
probe end (4) may be fixed to ensure that
(see Operating Instruction on the
CD-ROM)!
Optimization options
• Interference echo suppression:
Measurement can be optimised by
electronically tuning out interference
echoes.
Separable probes
If there is little mounting space (distance to
the ceiling), it is advisable to use separable
rod probes (∅16 mm).
• max. probe length 10 m (394 in)
• max. sideways capacity 20 Nm
• probes are separable several times with
the lengths:
– 500 mm (19.68 in)
– 1000 mm (39.37 in)
• torque: 15 Nm
