Shielding
Ensure the best possible shielding between the radiation source and yourself and all other
person. Effective shielding is provided by source containers (FQG60, FQG61/FQG62,FQG63,
FQG66) and all high-density materials (lead, iron, concrete etc.).
Time
Remain as short as possible in the area exposed to radiation.
Distance
Keep as far away from the radiation source as possible. The radiation intensity decreases in
proportion to the square of the distance from the radiation source.
3.5 Workplace safety
When working on and with the device:
‣Wear the required personal protective equipment as per national regulations.
‣Switch off the supply voltage before connecting the device.
3.6 Operational safety
Risk of injury!
‣Operate the device only if it is in proper technical condition, free from errors and faults.
‣The operator is responsible for ensuring trouble-free operation of the device.

LWARNING
‣Please refer to the separate documentation on applications in hazardous areas for the
safety instructions
For optimum electromagnetic compatibility, the potential matching line should be as
short as possible and at least 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) in cross-section.
Connecting cables should be routed away from the housing from below to prevent
moisture from penetrating the connection compartment. Otherwise, a drip loop should
be provided or a weather protection cover should be used.
Please follow the enclosed installation instructions if a G1/2 entry is used.
Housing thread
The thread of the electronics and connection compartment is coated with lubricant

7.1 Post-installation and post-connection check
Perform the post-installation check and the post-connection check for the FMG50 prior to
commissioning the measuring point.
You can reset the device to the factory setting in the event of an error.
7.1.1 Resetting to the default configuration
LCAUTION
‣A reset may negatively impact the measurement. As a rule, a basic setup must be
performed again after a reset. All calibration data are deleted after a reset. A complete
recalibration is needed to put the measurement back into operation.
1. Connect the device with FieldCare or DeviceCare.

Commissioning Gammapilot FMG50 HART
20 Endress+Hauser
2. Open the device in FieldCare or DeviceCare.
 The dashboard (homepage) of the device is displayed:
Click "System -> Device management"
3. Reset the device in the "Device reset" parameter
The following types of reset can be selected:
•Restart device
A soft reset is performed here. The device software performs all the diagnostics that would
also be performed by a hard reset by switching the device on/off.
•Reset to factory default
It is always advisable to reset the customer parameters if you want to use a device with an
unknown history, or if the operating mode is changed. When a reset is performed, all
customer parameters are reset to the factory default values
•Optional: reset to customer settings
If the device was ordered with a customized configuration, a reset restores these customer
settings configured at the factory.
A reset can also be performed on site via the operating keys (see the "Commissioning via
onsite operation" section).
7.2 Commissioning using the wizard
A wizard is provided in FieldCare or DeviceCare 1) that guides the user through the initial
commissioning process.
1. Connect the device with FieldCare or DeviceCare.
1) FieldCare and DeviceCare are available for download at www.software-products.endress.com. To download the
software, it is necessary to register in the Endress+Hauser software portal.
