Silopilot FMM20 Mounting 0000000303 10 Installation position Distance Normally, the measuring device is mounted on a counter flange DN100 PN16 (bore dimensions as per EN 1092-1) or a flange of the same connection dimensions. The counter flange must be mounted in such a way that it is perfectly horizontal so that the device can also be mounted horizontally onto it (maximum angle of inclination 2°).
Mounting Silopilot FMM20 Observe the maximum process temperature of +70 °C (+158 °F) at the measuring device (from the lower edge of the process adapter) during installation. ‣ In case of higher process temperatures in the area of the installation site, create a suitable structural measure for compliance with this temperature condition.
Silopilot FMM20 Mounting To mount the device on a standard counter flange DN100 PN16 (bore dimensions as per EN 1092-1), two ring wrenches or open-end wrenches measuring 24 mm AF are needed to mount the four M16 screws. 5.2.2 Preparing the measuring device Remove all remaining transport packaging.

Mounting Silopilot FMM20 Remove the transportation lock on the spool side 0000000324 14 Removing the transportation lock Transportation lock If the transportation lock is not removed, this can cause unforeseeable responses on the part of the device. For devices with a large sensing weight (such as a float): Use or create structural support measures and lower the tape border an appropriate distance before mounting.
Silopilot FMM20 Mounting • the display is directed towards the user. Do not crease the measuring tape when inserting the sensing weight, this will result in a reduced service life. Fix the measuring device with four suitable screws. When installing in bunkers/silos with heavy dust loadings, a slight positive pressure can be generated at the device by connecting a compressed air line to its device flange (airflow quantity as required).

Commissioning Silopilot FMM20 In the manual mode, the upper limit switch and the tape switch have no function! Users must themselves check in which position the sensing weight is currently located. With this type of measurement, the sensing weight can (depending on the maximum tape length) be lowered into unauthorized areas of the container (or into an outlet worm for example).
Silopilot FMM20 Commissioning Notes on the "short" operating mode: • The weight moves back into the upper end position every 20 measuring cycles. • Use input or relay output with "upper limit position" function for locking to protect the sensing weight from spillage.
Commissioning Silopilot FMM20 The behaviour of the current output can be influenced by the level/volume 050 function as follows: • The settings "level DU" or "level CU" cause an increasing output current as the level increases. • The settings "ullage DU" or "ullage CU", on the other hand, cause a decreasing output current as the filling level increases.
