3.4 Installation
3.4.1 General instructions for interface measurement

For the measurement of the interface level, the coaxial probe, the rod or rope probe may be used.
However, rope and rod probes may be used in bypass resp. stilling well only. Rope probes should be
used in exceptions only, e.g. if the measurement range extends for more than 4 meters or the
available space above the tank is too limited to introduce rod probes.
The following constraints for the Levelflex Interface Version have to be considered:
• The overall level has to be constant.
• The dielectric constant of the upper prodcut level has to be smaller than 10.
• The difference between the dielectric values of the two product levels should be 10 or bigger.
• The minimum product level of each product is 100mm.
! Note!
If one of these conditions is not met, the interface level measurement is not possible!
3.4.2 Installation
• Coaxial probes may be mounted directly into the tank.
• Rope and Rod probes have to be mounted into a bypass or stilling well
• For the use of any probes into stilling wells it has to be made sure that the stilling well or bypass
is perforated in a way which allows the product level in the inner part of the stilling well to adjust
to the outer level.
• The diameter of the stilling well / bypass should not exceed DN150 / 6” and not be smaller than
DN 50 / 2”
For a bypass, the dimensions of the following diagram should be kept:
recommendation min.
200 mm / 8”
100 %
recommendation min.
200 mm / 8”

FMP45: Installing with heat insulation

• If process temperatures are high (≥ 200 °C), FMP45 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 labelled "MAX" in the drawing.

7 Description of Instrument Functions Levelflex M FMP40 and FMP45
7.1.4 Function "empty calibr."

This function is used to enter the distance from the flange (reference point of the measurement) to
the minimum level (=zero).
7.1.5 Function "full calibr."

This function is used to enter the distance from the minimum level to the maximum level (=span).
The 100% point should not be defined at a higher level than the overall level
40 Endress+Hauser
! Note!
The usable measurement range extends between the overall level and the probe length.
For media of the upper product phase with a dielectric value > 4, the measurement range may have
to be restricted by increasing the upper blocking distance. The upper blocking distance is used to
eliminate the overall level echo.
Further Informations to the "blocking distance" see function "upper blocking dist." on page 47.

7.4 Function group "extended calibr."
7.4.1 Function "echo quality"
The echo quality is the benchmark for measurement reliability. It describes the amount of reflected
energy and depends primarily on the following conditions:
• Dielectric constant of the medium
• probe type
• Distance between sensor and product
Low values increase the probability that the echo is lost through a change in measurement conditi-
ons, e.g. emulsion or high dampening of the upper product phase.

Type of error
Errors that occur during commissioning or measuring are displayed immediately on the local dis-
play. If two or more system or process errors occur, the error with the highest priority is the one
shown on the display.
The measuring system distinguishes between two types of error:
• A (Alarm):
Instrument goes into a defined state (e.g. MAX)
Indicated by a constant symbol.
(For a description of the codes see system error messages)
• W (Warning):
Instrument continue measuring, error message is displayed.
Indicated by a flashing symbol.
(For a description of the codes, see system error messages)
• E (Alarm / Warning):
Configurable (e.g. loss of echo, level within the safety distance)
Indicated by a constant/flashing symbol.
(For a description of the codes, see system error messages)
Error messages
Error messages appear as four lines of plain text on the display. In addition, a unique error code is
also output. A description of the error codes is given by system error messages.
• The "diagnostics" function group can display current errors as well as the last errors that occur-
red.
• If several current errors occur, use O or S to page through the error messages.
The last occurring error can be deleted in the "diagnostics" function group with the function "clear
last error".

delivered in locked status (access code = 99). The access code has to be entered before the device
commissioning. It is advised to lock the device again after installation and commissioning.
7.7.6 Locking of the configuration mode

The Levelflex can be protected in two ways against unauthorised changing of instrument data,
numerical values or factory settings:
"unlock parameter":
A value <> 100 for HART (e.g. 99) must be entered in "unlock parameter" in the "diagnostics"
function group. The lock is shown on the display by the symbol and can be released again either
via the display or by communication.
7.7.7 Unlocking of configuration mode

If an attempt is made to change parameters when the instrument is locked, the user is automatically
requested to unlock the instrument:
"unlock parameter":
By entering the unlock parameter (on the display or via communication)
100 = for HART devices
the Levelflex is released for operation.
" Caution!
Changing certain parameters such as all sensor characteristics, for example, influences numerous
functions of the entire measuring system, particularly measuring accuracy. There is no need to
change these parameters under normal circumstances and consequently, they are protected by a
special code known only to the E+H service organization. Please contact Endress+Hauser if you

10.4 Return
The following procedures must be carried out before a transmitter is sent to Endress+Hauser e.g.
for repair or calibration:
• Remove all residue which may be present. Pay special attention to the gasket grooves and crevices
where fluid may be present. This is especially important if the fluid is dangerous to health, e.g.
corrosive, poisonous, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form (a copy of the “Declaration
of contamination” is included at the end of this operating manual). Only then can Endress
+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per EN 91/
155/EEC.
Additionally specify:
• An exact description of the application
• The chemical and physical characteristics of the product
• A short description of the error that occurred (specify error code if possible)
• If necessary, give the error code

Cleaning the probe Depending on the application, soilings or sediments can accumulate on the probe. A thin, even layer
only influences measurement slightly. Thick layers can dampen the signal and then reduce the
measuring range. Heavy, uneven build-up, adhesion e.g. through crystallisation, can lead to
incorrect measurement. In this case, we recommend that you use a non-contact measuring
principle, or check the probe regularly for soiling
Electromagnetic compatibility When installing the probes in metal tanks:

• Interference emission to EN 61326, Class A equipment.
• Interference immunity to EN 61326, Annex A (Industrial area) and NAMUR Recommendation
NE 21 (EMC)
The measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields when installing rod and rope
probes without a metallic wall, e.g. plastic tanks. For interference emission according to EN 61326,
we fulfil the requirement for Class A equipment.
• Interference emission to EN 61326, Class A equipment.
• Interference immunity: the measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields.
11.1.5 Operating conditions: Process
Process temperature range FMP40
