interface measurement of liquids. Depending on the version ordered the device can also measure
potentially explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing materials.
Observing the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and listed in the Operating Instructions
and supplementary documentation, the measuring device may be used for the following
measurements only:
Measured process variable: Level and/or interface
Calculated process variable: Volume oder mass in arbitrarily shaped vessels (calculated from the
level by the linearization functionality)
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
Use the measuring device only for measured materials against which the process-wetted
materials are adequately resistant.
Observe the limit values in "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Verification for borderline cases:
For special measured materials and cleaning agents, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance
in verifying the corrosion resistance of wetted materials, but does not accept any warranty or
liability.
Residual risk
The electronics housing and its built-in components such as display module, main electronics module
and I/O electronics module may heat to 80 C (176 F) during operation through heat transfer from
the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics. During operation the sensor may
assume a temperature near the temperature of the measured material.
Danger of burns due to heated surfaces!
For high process temperatures: Install protection against contact in order to prevent burns.

Mounting distances
Distance (A) between wall and rod or rope probe:
for smooth metallic walls: > 50 mm (2")
for plastic walls: > 300 mm (12") mm to metallic parts outside the vessel
for concrete walls: > 500 mm (20") , otherwise the available measuring range may be reduced.
Distance (B) between rod or rope probe and internal fittings in the vessel: > 300 mm (12")
Distance (C) from end of probe to bottom of the vessel:
Rope probe: > 150 mm (6 in)
Rod probe: > 10 mm (0.4 in)
Coax probe: > 10 mm (0.4 in)
For coax probes the distance to the wall and to internal fittings is arbitrary.

Levelflex FMP51, FMP52, FMP54

Mounting

Additional conditions
When mounting in the open, a weather protection cover (1) may be installed to protect the device
against extreme weather conditions.
In metallic vessels: Preferably do not mount the probe in the center of the vessel (2), as this would
lead to increased interference echoes.
If a central mounting position can not be avoided, it is crucial to perform an interference echo
suppresion(mapping) after the commissioning of the device.
Do not mount the probe in the filling curtain (3).
Avoid buckling the rope probe during installation or operation (e.g. through product movement
against silo wall) by selecting a suitable mounting location.
With suspended rope probes (probe end not fixed at the bottom) the distance between the
probe rope and internal fittings in the tank must not fall below 300 mm (12") during the entire
process. A sporadic contact between the probe weight and the cone of the vessel, however,
does not influence the measurement as long as the dielectric constant of the medium is at least
DC = 1.8.
When mounting the electronics housing into a recess (e.g. in a concrete ceiling), observe a
minimum distance of 100 mm (4 inch) between the cover of the terminal compartment /
electronics compartment and the wall. Otherwise the connection compartment / electronics
compartment is not accessible after installation.

6.2.2

Applications with restricted mounting space

Mounting with remote sensor

The device version with a remote sensor is suited for applications with restricted mounting space.
In this case the electronics housing is mounted at a separate position from which it is easier accessible.

Bending load (torque) through fluid flow

The formula for calculating the bending torque M impacting on the probe:
M = cw r/2 v2 d L (LN - 0.5 L)
with:
cw: Friction factor
r [kg/m3]: Density of the medium
v [m/s]: Velocity of the medium perpendicular to the probe rod
d [m]: Diameter of the probe rod
L [m]: Level
LN [m]: Probe length

Rod extension/centering HMP40 for FMP54

For FMP54 with rope probes the rod extension/centering HMP 40 is available as an accessory
( 97). It has to be used if otherwise the probe rope comes into contact with the lower edge
of the nozzle.
This accessory consists of the extension rod corresponding to the nozzle height, on which a
centering disk is also mounted if the nozzles are narrow or when working in bulk solids. This
component is delivered separately from the device. Please order the probe length
correspondingly shorter.
Centering disks with small diameters (DN40 and DN50) may only be used if there is no
significant build-up in the nozzle above the disk. The nozzle must not become clogged by the
product.

internal fittings or other parts of the installation.
The end of probe can be secured at its internal thread
rope 4 mm (1/6"), 316: M 14
The fixing must be either reliably grounded or reliably insulated. If it is not possible to mount the
probe weight with a reliably insulated connection, it can be secured using an isolated eyelet, which
is available as an accessory ( 99).
In the case of a grounded fixing the Positive echo option must be selected in the Expert
Sensors EOP evaluation EOP search mode parameter. Otherwise the automatic probe
length correction will not work.
In order to prevent an extremely high tensile load (e.g. due to thermal expansion) and the risk of
rope crack, the rope has to be slack. Make the rope longer than the required measuring range such
that there is a sag in the middle of the rope that is 1cm/(1 m rope length) [0.12 inch/(1 ft rope
length)]. Tensile load limit of rope probes: ( 34)
Securing rod probes
For Ex-approvals: For probe lengths 3 m (10 ft) a support is required.
In general, rod probes must be supported if there is a horizontal flow (e.g. from an agitator) or in
the case of strong vibrations.
Rod probes may only be supported at the end of the probe.

Side disposals, holes or slits and welded joints that protrude up to approx. 5 mm (0.2") inwards
do not influence the measurement.
The pipe may not exhibit any steps in diameter.
The probe must be 100 mm longer than the lower disposal.
Within the measuring range, the probe must not get into contact with the pipe wall. If necessary,
use a center washer (see feature 610 of the product structure).
If the center washer is mounted at the end of the probe, it enables a reliable recognition of the
end-of-probe signal (see feature 610 of the product structure).

Mounting

For bypasses with condensate formation (water) and a medium with low dielectric constant
(e.g. hydrocarbons):
In the course of time the bypass is filled with condensate up to the lower disposal and for low
levels the the level echo is superimposed by the condensate echo. Thus in this range the
condensate level is measured instead of the correct level. Only higher levels are measured
correctly. To prevent this, position the lower disposal 100 mm (4 in) below the lowest level to
be measured and apply a metallic centering disk at the height of the lower edge of the lower
disposal.
With heat insulated tanks the bypass should also be insulated in order to prevent condensate
formation.

The tank wall must be non-conductvie.
Maximum wall thickness (a):
Plastic: < 15 mm (0.6")
Glass: < 10 mm (0.4")
There may be no metallic reinforcements fixed to the tank.
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.
If the tank diameter is less than 300 mm (12"):
A metallic grounding sheet must be installed at the opposite side of the tank. The sheet must be
conductively connected to the process connection and cover about the half of the vessel's
circumference.
If the tank diameter exceeds 300 mm (12"):
A metal sheet with a diameter of at least 200 mm (8") must be mounted to the probe at the process
connection. Its orientation must be perpendicular to the probe (see above).
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.

Replacing a displacer system in an existing displacer chamber

FMP51 and FMP54 are a perfect replacement for a conventional displacer system in an existing
displacer chamber. Endress+Hauser offers flanges that suit Fischer and Masoneilan displacer
chamber for this purpose (special product for FMP51; feature 100, options LNJ, LPJ, LQJ for FMP54).
Thanks to menu-guided local operation, commissioning the Levelflex only takes a few minutes.
Replacement is also possible when partially filled, and wet calibration is not required.
Your benefits:
No moving parts, thus zero-maintenance operation.
Not sensitive to process influences such as temperature, density, turbulence and vibrations.
The rod probes can be shortened or replaced easily. In this way, the probe can be easily adjusted
on site.

A0014153

Flange of the displacer chamber

Planning instructions:
In normal cases, use a rod probe. When installing into a metallic displacer chamber up to 150
mm, you have all the advantages of a coax probe.
It must be ensured that the probe does not come into contact with the side wall. Where necessary,
use a center washer at the lower end of the probe (feature 610 of the product structure).
A center washer must be adapted as accurately as possible to the internal diameter of the displacer
chamber to also ensure perfect operation in the area of the probe end.
Additional information on interface measurement
In the case of oil and water the centering disk should be positioned at the lower edge of the lower
disposal (water level).
The pipe may not exhibit any steps in diameter. Use the coax probe where necessary.
In the case of rod probes, it must be ensured that the probe does not come into contact with the
wall. If necessary, use a center washer at the end of the probe.
A plastic center washer has to be used for interface measurement (feature 610, options OD and
OE).

12.1.3

Replacement of an electronics module

If an electronics module has been replaced, it is not necessary to perform a new basic setup as the
calibration parameters are stored in the HistoROM which is located in the housing. However, after
exchanging the main electronics module it may be necessary to record a new mapping (interference
echo suppression).

12.1.4

Replacement of a device

After a complete device or electronic module has been replaced, the parameters can be downloaded
into the instrument again in one of the following ways:
Via the display module
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved in the display module
( 155).
Via FieldCare
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved to the computer via FieldCare.
You can continue to measure without carrying out a new setup. Only a linearization and a tank map
(interference echo suppression) have to be recorded again.

The centering disk is suitable for probes with a rod diameter of 16 mm

(0.63in) and can be used in pipes from DN40 (1") up to DN100 (4"). Markings
on the 4-leg centering disk ensure a simple tailoring. Hence the centering disk
can be adapted to the pipe diameter. See also Operating Instructions BA377F.

Material of centering disk: PEEK (statically dissipative)

Material of retaining rings: PH15-7Mo (UNS S15700)
Admissible process temperature: 60 to +200 C (76 to +392 F)
Order code: 71069064
If the centering disk is inserted in a bypass, it must be positioned below
the lower bypass outlet. This has to be accounted for when choosing the
probe length. Generally, the centering disk should not be mounted
higher than 50 mm (1.97") from the probe end. It is recommended not
to insert the PEEK centering disk in the measuring range of the rod probe.
The PEEK centering disk can also be ordered directly with the device
(see the Levelflex product structure, feature 610 "Accessory mounted",
option OD). In this case it is not fastened by the retaining rings. Instead
it is fixed to the end of the probe rod by a hexagonal headed bolt (A4-70)
and a Nord-Lock washer (1.4547).

The "Probe length correction" sequence

The Probe length correction sequence helps to ensure that the end of probe signal within the
envelope curve is correctly assigned by the evaluation algorithm. The assignment is correct if the
length of probe indicated by the device matches the acutal lenght of the probe. The automatic probe
length correction can only be performed if the probe is installed in the vessel and is completely
uncovered (no medium). For partially filled vessels and if the probe length is known, select the
Manual input option in the Confirm length parameter in order to enter the value manually.
If a mapping (interference echo suppression) has been recorded after shortening the probe, it
is no longer possible to perform an automatic probe length correction. In this case there are
two options:
Delete the map ( 121) before performing the automatic probe length correction.
Thereafter a new map can be recorded.
Alternative: Select the Manual input option in the Confirm length parameter and enter
the probe length manually into the Present length parameter.
In the case of a grounded end of probe the Positive EOP option must be selected in the Expert
Sensors EOP evaluation EOP search mode parameter. Otherwise the automatic
probe length correction will not work.

To be selected if the indicated length is correct. An adjustment is not required. The device quits
the sequence. ("End of sequence" is displayed).
Length too small
To be selected if the indicated length is smaller than the actual length of the probe. A different
end of probe signal is allocated and the newly calculated length is indicated in the Present
length parameter. This procedure has to be repeated until the displayed value matches the actual
length of the probe.
Length too big
To be selected if the indicated length is bigger than the actual length of the probe. A different end
of probe signal is allocated and the newly calculated length is indicated in the Present length
parameter. This procedure has to be repeated until the displayed value matches the actual length
of the probe.
Probe covered
To be selected if the probe is (partially or completely) covered. A probe length correction is
impossible in this case. The device quits the sequence. ("End of sequence" is displayed.)
Manual input
To be selected if no automatic probe length correction is to be performed. Instead, the Present
length parameter appears and the actual length must be entered manually.
In the DTM Manual input needs not to be selected explicitly. Here, manual editing of the probe
length is always possible.
