  • Page 4: Function And System Design

    Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 Function and system design Measuring principle Level measurement The Levelflex is a "downward-looking" measuring system that functions according to the ToF method (ToF = Time of Flight). The distance from the reference point to the product surface is measured. High-frequency pulses are injected to a probe and led along the probe.

  • Page 6: Measuring System

    Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 Measuring system General notes on probe selection • Normally, rope probes should be used for bulk solids, rod probes are only suitable for short measuring ranges up to approx. 2 m (6.6 ft) 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 8: Input

    Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 Input Measured variable The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface. Subject to the empty distance entered "E" the level is calculated. Alternatively, the level can be converted into other variables (volume, mass) by means of linearization (32 points).

  • Page 9: Blocking Distance

    Levelflex FMP56, FMP57 • Reduction of the max. possible measuring range through buildup, above all of moist products. • The respective lower group applies for very loose or loosened bulk solids. Blocking distance The upper blocking distance (= UB) is the minimum distance from the reference point of the measurement (mounting flange) to the maximum level.
