  • Page 33 Levelflex FMP50 Mounting Non-metallic vessels A0012527 Non-metallic vessel Metal sheet or metal flange To measure, Levelflex with a rod probe needs a metallic surface at the process connection. Therefore: Mount a metal sheet with a diameter of at least 200 mm (8") to the probe at the process connection.
  • Page 34 Mounting Levelflex FMP50 Mounting conditions: • The probe must be mounted directly to the tank wall (no open space) • A plastic half pipe with a diameter of approx. 200 mm (8"), or some other protective unit, must be affixed externally to the probe to prevent any influences on the measurement.
  • Page 35 Levelflex FMP50 Mounting Vessels with heat insulation If process temperatures are high, the device must be included in normal tank insulation to prevent the electronics heating up as a result of heat radiation or convection. The insulation may not exceed beyond the points labeled "MAX" in the drawings.
