    Levelflex M FMP45 with PROFIBUS PA Technical data Technical data 10.1 Additional technical data 10.1.1 Input The measured variable is the distance between a reference point (see Fig. on → ä 14) and the Measured variable product surface. Subject to the input empty distance (E, see Fig. on → ä 104), the level is calculated. Alternatively, the level can be converted by means of linearisation (32 points) into other variables (volume, mass).

  • Page 93 Levelflex M FMP45 with PROFIBUS PA Technical data Installing FMP45 with Application Gasphase Compensation For level measurement in steam applications at high pressures and temperatures. (Coax only) At high pressures and temperatures, the speed at which microwave signals are propagated in steam (polar media) is reduced above the liquid being measured.
  • Page 94 Technical data Levelflex M FMP45 with PROFIBUS PA Installation This version of Levelflex M generates a reference reflection in the distance Lref from the flange (see → ä 8 "Ordering structure" option U: 300 mm/11"; option V: 550 mm/21"). The reference reflection must be at least 150 mm above the highest level.
