Function and system design
Measuring principle Basic principles
The Levelflex is a "downward-looking" measuring system that functions according to the ToF method
(ToF = Time of Flight). The distance from the reference point to the product surface is measured.
High-frequency pulses are injected to a probe and led along the probe. The pulses are reflected by
the product surface, received by the electronic evaluation unit and converted into level information.
This method is also known as TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry).

If, for rope probes, the DC value is less than 7, then measurement is not possible in the area of
the straining weight (0 to 250 mm (0 to 9.84 in) from end of probe; lower blocking distance).

Levelflex FMP51, FMP52, FMP54
Endress+Hauser 7
Dielectric constant
The dielectric constant (DC) of the medium has a direct impact on the degree of reflection of the
highfrequency pulses. In the case of large DC values, such as for water or ammonia, there is strong
pulse reflection while, with low DC values, such as for hydrocarbons, weak pulse reflection is
experienced.
Input
The reflected pulses are transmitted from the probe to the electronics. There, a microprocessor
analyzes the signals and identifies the level echo which was generated by the reflection of the high-
frequency pulses at the product surface. This clear signal detection system benefits from over 30
years' experience with pulse time-of-flight procedures that have been integrated into the
development of the PulseMaster® software.
The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the impulse:
D = c · t/2,
where c is the speed of light.
Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:
L = E – D
The reference point R of the measurement is located at the process connection. For details see the
dimensional drawing:
• FMP51: →  80
• FMP52: →  82
• FMP54: →  83
The Levelflex possesses functions for interference echo suppression that can be activated by the user.
They guarantee that interference echoes from e.g. internals and struts are not interpreted as level
echoes.
Output
The Levelflex is preset at the factory to the probe length ordered so that in most cases only the
application parameters that automatically adapt the device to the measuring conditions need to be
entered. For models with a current output, the factory adjustment for zero point E and span F is 4
mA and 20 mA, for digital outputs and the display module 0 % and 100 %. A linearization function
with max. 32 points, which is based on a table entered manually or semi-automatically, can be
activated on site or via remote operation. This function allows the level to be converted into units of
volume or mass, for example.

Interface measurement
When the high-frequency pulses hit the surface of the medium, only a percentage of the
transmission pulse is reflected. In the case of media with a low DC1, in particular, the other part
penetrates the medium. The pulse is reflected once more at the interface point to a second medium
with a higher DC2. The distance to the interface layer now can also be determined taking into
account the delayed time-of-flight of the pulse through the upper medium.

In addition, the following general conditions must be observed for interface measurement:
• The DC of the upper medium must be known and constant 1). The DC can be determined with the
aid of the DC manual CP00019F or the "DC Values App". In addition, if the interface thickness is
existing and known, the DC can be calculated automatically via FieldCare.
• The DC of the upper medium may not be greater than 10.
• The DC difference between the upper medium and lower medium must be >10.
• The upper medium must have a minimum thickness of 60 mm (2.4 in).
For dielectric constants (DC values) of many media commonly used in various industries refer
to:
• the Endress+Hauser DC manual (CP01076F)
• the Endress+Hauser "DC Values App" (available for Android and iOS)
1) For FMP55: Under certain conditions measurement is possible even with a changing DC. For details please contact your Endress+Hauser
representative.

Measuring system General notes on probe selection
• Normally use rod or coax probes for liquids. Rope probes are used in liquids for measuring ranges >
10 m (33 ft) ( > 4 m (13 ft) for FMP52) and with restricted ceiling clearance which does not allow
the installation of rigid probes.
• For interface measurement, ideally coax probes or rod probes in a bypass/stilling well are used.
• Coax probes are suited to liquids with viscosities of up to approx. 500 cst. Coax probes can measure
most liquefied gases, as of a dielectric constant of 1.4. Moreover, installation conditions, such as
nozzles, tank internal fittings etc., have no effect on the measurement when a coax probe is used.
A coax probe offers maximum EMC safety when used in plastic tanks.

SD Safety distance
Blocking distance (factory setting):
• with coax probes: 0 mm (0 in)
• with rod and rope probes up to 8 m (26 ft): 200 mm (8 in)
• with rod and rope probes exceeding a length of 8 m (26 ft): 0.025 * (length of probe)
The specified blocking distances are preset on delivery. Depending on the application these
settings can be changed.
For rod and rope probes and for media with DC > 7 (or generally for stilling well/bypass
applications) the blocking distance may be reduced to 100 mm (4").
Within the blocking distance, a reliable measurement can not be guaranteed.
A safety distance SD can be defined in addition to the blocking distance. A warning is generated
if the level rises into this safety distance.
