* FMC671Z (product discontinued 2006)

!Note!

These Operating Instructions describe how to install and commission the level transmitter. All

functions that are needed for regular measuring tasks are taken into account. In addition, the

silometer, for example, has many other functions for optimising the measuring point and converting

the measured value which do not form part of these Operating Instructions.

An overview of the configuration options at the FEI57C electronic insert is provided on

Page 39.

The Liquicap M with a PFM output (FEI57C) is designed as a replacement for existing systems that

already use Endress+Hauser's PFM technology. Switching units for continuous measurement can

no longer be supplied.

Switching units (product discontinued end of 2006):

• FMC671Z, FMC672Z

•FMX570

• FMC661Z, FMC662Z

Switching unit restrictions:

• Can only be used in 1-channel mode

• Cannot be used with automatic calibration correction

1 Safety instructions

1.1 Designated use

Liquicap M FMI51, FMI52 are compact, capacitance level transmitters for the continuous

measurement of conductive liquids.

1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation

Liquicap M is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety regulations and complies with the applicable

requirements and EC Directives. If used improperly or other than intended, the device can,

however, be a source of application-related danger, e.g. product overflow as a result of incorrect

installation or configuration. For this reason, installation, electrical connection, commissioning,

operation and maintenance of the measuring system must only be carried out by trained technical

personnel authorized to perform such work by the owner-operator. The technical personnel must

have read and understood these Operating Instructions and must follow the instructions they

contain. The device may only be repaired or modified if expressly permitted in the Operating

Instructions.

1.3 Operational safety

Hazardous area

When using the measuring system in Ex-areas, the appropriate national standards and regulations

have to be observed. Separate Ex documentation, which constitutes an integral part of this

documentation, is supplied with the device. The installation procedures, connection data and safety

instructions it contains must be observed.

• Make sure that the technical staff has adequate training.

• The special measuring and safety-related requirements for the measuring points must be

observed.

1.4 Notes on safety conventions and icons

To highlight safety-related or alternative processes, we have designed the following safety

instructions where every instruction is indicated by a corresponding pictogram.

Safety instructions

#Warning!

Draws attention to activities or procedures that can result in serious injuries to persons, a safety risk

or the destruction of the device if not carried out properly.

"Caution!

Draws attention to activities or procedures that can result in injuries to persons or the defective

operation of the device if not carried out properly.

!Note!

Draws attention to activities or procedures that have an indirect effect on operation, or can trigger an

unforeseen device reaction if not carried out properly.

Type of protection

0Explosion-protected equipment tested for type examination

If this sign can be found on the nameplate of the device, the device can be operated in hazardous

areas or non-hazardous areas in accordance with the approval

-Hazardous area

This symbol in the drawings in these Operating Instructions indicates Ex-areas. Devices located in

Ex-areas, or cables for such devices, must have appropriate explosion protection.

.Safe area (non-hazardous area)

This symbol in the drawings in these Operating Instructions indicates non-Ex areas. Devices in non-

hazardous areas must also be certified if connecting cables lead into hazardous areas.

Electrical symbols

%Direct current

A terminal to which direct voltage is applied or through which the direct current flows.

&Alternating current

A terminal to which alternating voltage (sine wave) is applied or through which the alternating

current flows.

)Ground connection

A grounded terminal which, from a user's point of view, is grounded via a grounding system.

*Protective earth connection

A terminal that has to be grounded before any other connections may be established.

+Equipotential connection

A connection that has to be connected to the grounding system of the plant. This can be a potential

matching line or a star grounding system, depending on national or company codes of practice.

Immunity to temperature change of the connecting cables

Means that the connecting cables have to withstand a temperature of 85 °C at least.
