!Note!
These Operating Instructions explain how to install and commission the level transmitter.
All functions that are required for a typical measuring task are taken into account here.
In addition, the Levelflex M provides many other functions for optimizing the measuring point and
converting measured values. These functions are not included in these Operating Instructions.
An overview of all the device functions can be found on →ä72.
The Operating Instructions BA00366F/00/EN "Description of Instrument Functions" provides an
extensive description of all device functions, which can be found on the enclosed CD-ROM.
The Operating Instructions can also be found on our homepage: www.endress.com

Safety instructions Levelflex M FMP41C 4 to 20 mA HART
4Endress+Hauser
1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The Levelflex M is a compact level transmitter for the continuous measurement of the total level
and the interface level in liquids. Measuring principle: guided level radar / TDR:
Time Domain Reflectometry.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
The Levelflex M is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements and conforms to applicable
standards and EC regulations. If installed incorrectly or used for applications for which it is not
intended, however, it is possible that application-related dangers may arise, e.g. product overflow
due to incorrect installation or configuration. For this reason, installation, connection to the
electricity supply, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system must only
be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by the facility's
owner-operator. The specialist must have read and understood these Operating Instructions and
must follow the instructions they contain. Modifications and repairs to the device are permissible
only when they are expressly approved in the Operating Instructions.
1.3 Operational safety and process safety
Alternative monitoring measures must be taken to ensure operational safety and process safety
during configuration, testing and maintenance word on the device.
The measuring device meets the general safety requirements according to EN 61010-1 and the
EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326 in addition to NAMUR Recommendations NE 21 and NE 43.
Hazardous areas
If using the measuring system in hazardous areas, the appropriate national standards must be
observed. The device is accompanied by separate Ex documentation, which is an integral part of this
documentation. The installation regulations, connection values and safety instructions listed in this
document must be observed.
• Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.
• Measuring point requirements with regard to measurement and safety must be observed.

1.4 Safety conventions and icons
In order to highlight safety-relevant or alternative operating procedures in the manual, the following
conventions have been used, each indicated by a corresponding symbol in the margin.
Safety instructions
#Warning!
A warning highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, will lead to personal
injury, a safety hazard or the destruction of the device.
"Caution!
Caution highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, may lead to personal
injury or incorrect functioning of the device.
!Note!
A note highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, can have an indirect effect
on operation or trigger an unexpected response on the part of the device.
Explosion protection
0Explosion-protected, type-examined equipment
If the device has this symbol embossed on its nameplate, it can be used in a hazardous area or a
non-hazardous area, according to the approval.
-Hazardous areas
This symbol is used in the drawings of these Operating Instructions to indicate hazardous areas.
Devices in hazardous areas, or cables for such devices, must have appropriate explosion protection.
. Safe area (non-hazardous area)
This symbol is used in the drawings of these Operating Instructions to indicate non-hazardous areas.
Devices in the non-hazardous area also have to be certified if connecting cables lead into the
hazardous area.
Electrical symbols
%Direct voltage
A terminal to which DC voltage is applied or through which direct current flows.
&Alternating voltage
A terminal to which alternating voltage (sine-wave) is applied or through which alternating current
flows.
)Ground connection
A grounded terminal which, as far as the operator is concerned, is grounded by means of a grounding
system.
*Protective ground connection
A terminal which must be connected to ground prior to making any other connection to the
equipment.
+Equipotential connection
A connection that has to be connected to the plant grounding system:
This may be a potential equalization line or a star grounding system depending on national or
company codes of practice.
Temperature resistance of the connection cables
States that the connection cables must be resistant to a temperature of at least 85 °C.
