Levelflex M FMP45 4 to 20 mA HART Commissioning " Caution! The basic setup is sufficient for successful commissioning in most applications. The Levelflex is precalibrated at the factory to the probe length ordered so that in most cases only the application parameters that automatically adapt the device to the measuring conditions need to be entered.
Commissioning Levelflex M FMP45 4 to 20 mA HART Basic Setup with the device display 5.4.1 Function "measured value" (000) ⇒ ENDRESS + HAUSER – This function displays the current measured value in the selected unit (see"Customer unit" (042) function). The number of digits after the decimal point can be selected in the "No.of Decimals"...

Levelflex M FMP45 4 to 20 mA HART Commissioning Partially Filled The system searches for 2 signals in the measuring range. The upper signal is assigned to the total level and the lower signal to the level of the interface layer. The difference between the two levels corresponds to the thickness of the upper medium (upper phase).
