Safety instructions Gammapilot M FMG60 with HART
4Endress+Hauser
1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The Gammapilot M is a compact transmitter for non-contact level, level limit, density and
concentration measurement. The measuring range of a single Gammapilot M extends up to 2 m.
Large measuring ranges of any size can be implemented, however, by cascading several
Gammapilot M devices. When used for level limit detection, the Gammapilot M is certified
according to IEC 61508 for safety-related operation up to SIL 2/3.
1.2 Installation, commissioning, operation
The Gammapilot M is fail-safe and is constructed to the state-of-the-art. It meets the appropriate
standards and EC directives. However, if you use it improperly or other than for its designated use,
it may pose application-specific hazards, e.g. product overflow due to incorrect installation or
configuration. Installation, electrical connection, startup, operation and maintenance of the
measuring device must therefore be carried out exclusively by trained specialists authorized by the
system operator. Technical personnel must have read and understood these Operating Instructions
and must adhere to them. You may only undertake modifications or repair work to the device when
it is expressly permitted by the Operating Instructions.
1.3 Hazardous area
Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of these Operating Instructions. Strict compliance with
the installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is mandatory.
• Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.
• Observe the specifications in the certificate as well as national and local standards and regulations.
#Warning!
Depending on the certificate version observe the associated Safety Instructions (→ä88).
#Warning!
The three screws, connecting the pipe housing
to the compartment housing, must not be
opened.

1.4 Radiation protection
The Gammapilot M is used in conjunction with a radioactive source, contained in a source
container. When handling radioactive sources, the following instructions have to be observed:
1.4.1 Basic regulations on radiation protection
#Warning!
When handling radioactive sources, all unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoided. All
unavoidable radiation exposure should be kept as low as possible. Three measures are used for this:
L00-QGxxxxxx-16-00-00-en-001
Distance
Keep as far away as possible from the radiation source. The local radiation intensity decreases as the
square-root of the distance from the radiation source.
Shielding
Ensure the best possible shielding between the radiation source and yourself as well as all other
individuals. Effective shielding is provided by source containers (FQG61, FQG62, QG2000) and all
high-density materials (lead, iron, concrete).
"Caution!
When working with source containers, all the instructions for mounting and usage outlined in the
following documents must be observed:
Time
Stay as short as possible in the area exposed to radiation.

Safety instructions Gammapilot M FMG60 with HART
6Endress+Hauser
1.4.2 Legal requirements for radiation protection
Handling radioactive emitters is legally controlled. The radioactive protection regulations of the
country in which the plant is to be operated are to be strictly observed. In the Federal Republic of
Germany the current radiation protection requirements are applicable. The following points, in
particular, are important for radioactive measurement:
Handling permit
A handling permit is required for operating a plant which uses gamma radiation. Application for the
permit must be made to the state government (Land) or the authority responsible (State Offices for
Environmental Protection, Trade Inspection Offices, etc.). The Endress+Hauser sales organization
will be pleased to help you obtain the permit.
Radiation protection officer
The operator of the plant must nominate someone responsible for radiation protection who has the
necessary specialist knowledge and who is responsible for observing all radiation protection
regulations and procedures for radiation protection. Endress+Hauser offers training courses in
which the necessary specialist knowledge can be acquired.
Control zone
Only persons exposed to radiation during the course of their job may sojourn in control zones
(i.e. areas where the local dose rate exceeds a specific value) provided they are subjected to official
personnel dose monitoring procedures. For the Federal Republic of Germany the limit values for the
control zone are specified in the current radiation protection requirements.
The Endress+Hauser sales organization will be pleased to provide further information on radiation
protection and regulations in other countries.
1.4.3 Behavior in the event of an incident
Emergency measures
If the source container or the radiation source is damaged by accident or another unforeseen event
or if the radiation source is lost by other means, the following emergency measures shall be initiated
immediately:
• Inform the radiation protection officer immediately.
• All employees must leave the danger area immediately. The area around the measuring point
must be barred to access and labeled.
• Production must be halted immediately if there is a risk that the radioactive material has got into
the material being measured. Possibly contaminated material must be secured and may not be
further used before it has been tested.
• All persons involved in cleaning up (fire brigade, works security, etc.) must be informed of the
hazards of radiation.
Report to the responsible authority
As soon as the emergency measures have been initiated, the authorities responsible for radiation
must be informed by the radiation protection officer.

Endress+Hauser 7
1.4.4 Procedures after termination of the application
Internal measures
As soon as a radiometric measuring device is no longer required, the radiation source on the source
container must be switched off. The source container shall be removed in accordance with all
relevant regulations and saved in a lockable room having no through traffic. The responsible
authorities shall be informed of these measures. The access to the storage room shall be measured
out and signed. The radiation protection officer is responsible for protecting against theft. The
radiation source in the source container must not be scrapped with the other parts of the plant. It
should be returned as quickly as possible.
Return
FR Germany
Contact your E+H sales center to organize the return of the radiation source for inspection with a
view to reuse or recycling by Endress+Hauser.
Other countries
Contact your E+H sales center or the appropriate authorities (government ministry) or regulating
authority to find a way of returning the radiation source nationally. If return is not possible
domestically, the further procedure must be agreed with the sales center concerned. The
destination airport for potential returns is Basle, Switzerland.
Conditions
The following conditions must be met before returning the material:
• An inspection certificate no more than three months old confirming the leak-tightness of the
radiation source must be in the possession of E+H (wipe test certificate).
• The serial number, type of radiation source (60Co or 137Cs), activity and model of radiation source
must be specified. This data may be found in the documents supplied with the radiation source.
• The material must be returned in an approved secondary containment suitable for simple handling
and in type-tested type-A packaging (IATA rules).
1.4.5 Using source containers
Strict compliance with the safety instructions and instructions on installing, mounting and operating
is mandatory.
For details, see
• TI435F/00 for FQG61 and FQG62
• TI346F/00 and BA223F/00 for QG2000

3.2.2 Installation conditions for level measurement
Conditions
• For level measurements the Gammapilot M is mounted vertically; if possible the detector head
should point downwards.
• The exit angle of the source container must be exactly aligned to the measuring range of the
Gammapilot M. Observe the measuring range marks of the Gammapilot M.
• In cascading mode no gap should occur between the measuring ranges of the different
Gammapilot M.
• The source container and the Gammapilot M must be mounted as close to the vessel as possible.
Any access to the beam must be blocked so that no persons or part of their body (hand, arm, head)
may come into the area of the beam.
• In order to enlarge the lifetime, the Gammapilot M should be protected against direct sun. If
necessary, a protective cover should be applied.
• The mounting device FHG60 (see chapter "Accessories) or an equivalent mounting device should
be used for fastening the Gammapilot M.
The mounting device must be installed in a way such that it can withstand the weight of the
Gammapilot M1) under all operating conditions (e.g. vibrations).
!Note!
The Gammapilot M should be given additional support to prevent damage to the connecting cable
or to the unit if it falls off.
Examples
L00-FMG60xxx-17-00-00-xx-001
1: Vertical cylinder; the Gammapilot M is mounted vertically with the detector head pointing downwards; the gamma ray
is aligned to the measuring range. 2: Cascading of multiple Gammapilot M; there is no gap between the measuring ranges.
3: Conical tank outlet (here with sun protection cover); 4: Horizontal cylinder (here with sun protection cover); 5: Wrong:
Gammapilot M mounted inside the tank insulation; 6: Right: Tank insulation removed for Gammapilot M; 7: Support.

3.2.3 Installation conditions for level limit detection
Conditions
• For level limit detection, the Gammapilot M should be mounted horizontally at the height of the
desired level limit.
• The exit angle of the source container must be exactly aligned to the measuring range of the
Gammapilot M. Observe the measuring range marks of the Gammapilot M.
• The source container and the Gammapilot M must be mounted as close to the vessel as possible.
Any access to the beam must be blocked so that no persons or part of their body (hand, arm, head)
may come into the area of the beam.
• In order to enlarge the lifetime, the Gammapilot M should be protected against direct sun. If
necessary, a protective cover should be applied.
• The mounting device FHG60 (see chapter "Accessories) or an equivalent mounting device should
be used for fastening the Gammapilot M.
The mounting device itself must be fitted in a way such that it can withstand the weight of the
Gammapilot M2) under all operating conditions to be expected.
More information with regard to the safety-related deployment of Gammapilot M can be found in
Safety Manual SD230F/00.

3.2.4 Installation conditions for density and concentration measurement
Conditions
• If possible, density and concentration should be measured at vertical pipes with a feed direction
from bottom to top.
• If only horizontal pipes are accessible, the path of the ray should also be arranged horizontally to
reduce the influence of air bubbles and sediments.
• The Endress+Hauser clamping device (see chapter "Accessories") or an equivalent clamping
device should be used for fastening the radiation source container and the Gammapilot M to the
measuring tube.
The clamping device itself must be installed in a way such that it can withstand the weight of the
source container3) and the Gammapilot M4) under all operating conditions.
• The sample point may not be further than 20 m from the measuring point.
• The distance of the density measurement to pipe bends is ≥3 x pipe diameter and ≥10 x pipe
diameter for pumps.
Configuration of the measuring system
The configuration of the source container and the Gammapilot M depends on the pipe diameter (or
the length of the irradiated measuring path respectively) and the measuring range. These two
parameters determine the measuring effect (relative change of the pulse rate). The measuring effect
increases with the length of the radiation path through the medium. Therefore, diagonal irradiation
or the use of a measurement section is necessary for small pipe diameters.
For the configuration of the measuring system please contact your Endress+Hauser sales
organization or use the "Applicator" ΤΜ 5)configuration software.

1: Vertical beam (90°); 2: Diagonal beam (30°); 3: Measurement section;
4: Sample point
!Note!
To increase the accuracy for density measurements, the use of a collimator is recommended. The
collimator screens the detector against environmental radiation.
!Note!
• When planning, the total weight of the measuring system must be taken into consideration.
• The Gammapilot M should be given additional support to secure it against falling or prevent
damage to the connecting cable.
• A clamping device and a measurement section are available as accessories (see chapter
"Accessories").
3) The weights of the source containers are specified in Technical Information TI435F (FQG61, FQG62) and TI346F (QG2000).
4) The weights of the various versions of the Gammapilot M are summarized in the section "Dimensions/Weight".

3.2.5 Empty pipe detection
Fig. 1: 1: Monitoring detector DG17/27 or FMG60
Mounting the FMG60 or DG17/27 on the FMG60 for empty pipe detection
If the pipe becomes empty as a result of operational processes, the radiation on the detector side can
hit dangerous levels.
• In such instances, the irradiation channel must be closed immediately for reasons of radiation
protection.
• A high local dose rate also causes the detector unit (scintillator and photomultiplier) to age
quickly.
The best way of avoiding such a situation is to mount a second radiometric measuring system that
monitors the radiation intensity. If high radiation levels occur, an alarm is output and/or the source
container is automatically switched off through pneumatic action for example.
