Maintenance Levelflex FMP55 HART Maintenance The measuring device requires no special maintenance. 14.1 Exterior cleaning When exterior-cleaning the device, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the surface of the hosuing and the seals. 14.2 Cleaning coax probes For cleaning purposes the ground tube can be stripped of the coaxial probe. When unmounting and remounting the tube, make sure that the PFA spacers do not get out of space.
15.1.1 Repair concept The Endress+Hauser repair concept assumes that the devices have a modular design and that repairs can be done by the Endress+Hauser service or specially trained customers. Spare parts are contained in suitable kits. They contain the related replacement instructions.
The measuring device must be returned if it is need of repair or a factory calibration, or if the wrong measuring device has been delivered or ordered. Legal specifications require Endress+Hauser, as an ISO-certified company, to follow certain procedures when handling products that are in contact with the medium.
