When used in explosion hazardous areas, the equipment must be installed in accordance
with local regulations as well as with the technical and safety requirements on the
measuring point as specified in the accompanying certificates.
Installation and Commissioning
Installation, electrical connection, commissioning, operation and maintenance may only
be carried out by trained and authorized personnel. The personnel must read and
understand these operating instructions before carrying them out.

Safety Conventions and Symbols
In order to highlight safety-relevant or alternative operating procedures in the manual,
the following conventions have been used, each indicated by a corresponding icon in
the margin.
Explosion Protection
Symbol Meaning
Device certified for use in explosion hazardous area
If the Prosonic T has this symbol embossed on its nameplate, it can be
installed in an explosion hazardous area.
Explosion hazardous area
Symbol used in drawings to indicate explosion hazardous areas. Devices
located in and wiring entering areas with the designation “explosion
hazardous areas” must conform with the stated type of protection.
Safe area (non-explosion hazardous area)
Symbol used in drawings to indicate, if necessary, non-explosion
hazardous areas. Devices located in safe areas still require a certificate
if their outputs run into explosion hazardous areas.
Electrical Symbols

applied or supplied.
Alternatingvoltage
A terminal to which or from which an alternating (sine-wave) current or
voltage may be applied or supplied.
Grounded terminal
A grounded terminal, which as far as the operator is concerned, is
already grounded by means of an earth grounding system.
Protective grounding (earth) terminal
A terminal which must be connected to earth ground prior to making any
other connection to the equipment.

Prosonic T - FMU 130, 131, 230, 231, 232
Endress+Hauser
Function
An ultrasonic emitter (sensor) mounted above the product is electronically activated and
directs an ultrasonic pulse through the air towards the product. This pulse is reflected
back from the surface of the product. The echoes partially reflected are detected by the
same sensor, now acting as a receiver, and converted back into an electrical signal. The
time taken between transmission and reception of the pulse – time-of-flight – is directly
proportional to the distance between the sensor and the product surface.
Application and Measuring Ranges
The Prosonic T is a compact ultrasonic transmitter for continuous non-contact level
measurement in liquids and in coarse-grained or pelleted solids (grain size from 0.16
inches/4 mm). It has an integrated temperature sensor for time-of-flight compensation.
The Prosonic T series consists of three transmitters, which can be equipped with one of
several electronics modules, with graduated measuring ranges from 0.82 feet (0.25 m)
upwards.

Installation
Blocking Distance
Due to the ringing time of the sensor, there is a zone immediately below it in which
returning echoes cannot be detected. This so-called blocking distance is very important
to the correct function of the Prosonic T. It determines the minimum distance between
the sensor and the maximum level.
• Mount the sensor such that the distance between it and the maximum product level
exceeds the blocking distance. Please note that if product enters the blocking
distance, the device will not measure correctly.
• Never mount two Prosonic T’s in a vessel because the instruments may not function
correctly.
• Do not mount the sensor in the center of the vessel roof.
• Install the transmitter at right angles to the surface of the material.
• Do not measure through the filling curtain.
Housing
• Cable entry Pg 16
Break the cable entry in the housing before mounting.
• Cable diameter 0.2 to 0.35 inches (5 to 9 mm)

Mounting on a Nozzle
If the maximum level to be measured falls within the blocking distance, the transmitter
must be mounted on a nozzle. Please note that if product enters the blocking distance,
the device will not measure correctly.
• No buildup should form in the nozzle.
• The recommend nozzle dimensions are limits, within which the nozzle can vary. Select
as big a nozzle diameter as possible, but keep the height as small as possible
• The inner surface of the nozzle should be as smooth as possible (no edges or welding
seams).
• Interference echoes caused by the nozzle can be suppressed by the echo suppression
function when a display is used for operation (see page 25).
