6.1.1 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.

Mounting Levelflex FMP51, FMP52, FMP54
14 Endress+Hauser
6.1.2 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 Notes on the process connection
Probes are mounted to the process connection with threaded connections or flanges. If during
this installation there is the danger that the probe end moves so much that it touches the tank
floor or cone at times, the probe must, if necessary, be shortened and fixed down.

Hight and diameter of the nozzle
•Permissible nozzle diameter: £ 150 mm (6 in).
For larger diameters the near range measuring capability may be reduced.
For nozzles ³ DN300: (® ä 17).
•Permissible nozzle height 1): £ 150 mm (6 in).
For a larger height the near range measuring capability may be reduced.
Larger nozzle heights may be possible in special cases (see sections "Center rod for FMP51
and FMP52" and "Rod extension/centering HMP40 for FMP54").
With thermally insulated vessels the nozzle should also be insulated in order to prevent
condensate formation.
Center rod for FMP51 and FMP52
For rope probes it may be necessary to use a version with center rod in order to prevent the
probe rod from coming into contact with the nozzle wall. Probes with center rod are available
for FMP51 and FMP52.

Rod extension/centering HMP40 for FMP54
For FMP54 with rope probes the rod extension/centering HMP 40 is available as an accessory .
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.

• The end of the probe needs to be secured under the following conditions:
if otherwise the probe sporadically comes into contact with the wall of the vessel, the outlet
cone, 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 .
• 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:

6.3.2 Securing rod probes
•For Ex-approvals: For probe lengths ³ 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.
