2 Basic safety instructions
2�1 Requirements for the personnel
The personnel must fulll the following requirements to carry out the necessary tasks,
e. g., commissioning and maintenance:
‣ Trained, qualied specialists must have a relevant qualication for the specic function
and task
‣ Are authorized by the plant owner/operator
‣ Are familiar with federal/national regulations
‣ Must have read and understood the instructions in the manual and supplementary
documentation
‣ Follow instructions and comply with conditions
2�2 Designated use
Only use the ow indicator to monitor a bulk material movement. Improper use can pose
hazards. Ensure that the measuring device is free of defects while it is in operation.
• Use the measuring device only for media to which the process-wetted materials have an
adequate level of resistance
• Do not exceed or drop below the limit values for the measuring device
 TI01610F
2�2�1 Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process, the temperature of the electronics housing and the
assemblies contained therein may rise to 70 °C (158 °F) during operation.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣ If necessary, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.
2�3 Workplace safety
For work on and with the device:
‣ Wear the required protective equipment according to federal/national regulations.
2�4 Operational safety
Risk of injury.
‣ Operate the device in proper technical condition and fail-safe condition only.
‣ The operator is responsible for interference-free operation of the device.
Conversions to the device
Unauthorized modications to the device are not permitted and can lead to unforeseeable
dangers.
‣ If, despite this, modications are required, consult with Endress+Hauser.

5�2 Mounting the device
5�2�1 Mounting in contact with the process
The FTR16 is screwed directly into the process (for example existing threads or vessel
sleeves) with its process connection (standard threads G 1 and G 1½ according to ISO
228-1 or 1½ NPT according to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1).
Direct mounting with threaded connection
The simplest mounting method is by screwing into the process wall. To do this, a corre-
sponding internal thread (G 1, G 1½ or 1½ NPT) must be available in the process.
AB
0000000020
5 Mounting with threaded connection
• If the process connection is not screwed far enough into the process wall, there is a risk
that material will accumulate in front of the device (A), thereby damping the microwave
signal.
• If, on the other hand, the process connection is screwed too far into the process (B),
there is a risk of damage occurring as a result of large product items falling.

For example:
• Process temperature
• Process pressure
• Ambient temperature range
• Measuring range
 Are the measuring point number and labeling correct (visual inspection)?
 Is the device adequately protected against precipitation and direct sunlight?
 Is the device properly secured?
6 Electrical connection
For devices intended for use in hazardous areas, please read the information and
comply with the instructions in the Ex documentation (XA).
6�1 Connection requirements
6�1�1 Connect potential equalization
The potential equalization for the device must be integrated into the existing potential
equalization on site.
Requirements:
• The potential equalization must be connected to the external ground terminal on the
device.
• For optimum electromagnetic compatibility, keep the potential equalization line as short
as possible.
• The recommended cable cross-section is 2.5 mm2.
• The potential equalization of the FTR16 must be included in the local potential equal-
ization.
6�1�2 Connecting cable requirements
The connections cables with M12A connector must be full the following requirements:
• Permissible temperature range → 34
• Protection → 34
• Max. 5 Ω/wire
• Total capacity < 100 nF
Suitable connection cable
→ 23 and order structure option "accessory enclosed"
6�2 Output signal
Safety-related circuit
The electric switch opens in the presence or absence of bulk material movement, in the
event of malfunctions or power failure.

Solimotion FTR16
Endress+Hauser 17
Electrical connection
• Maximum bulk material movement:
The FTR16 keeps the electrical switch closed as long as there is bulk material move-
ment.
• Minimal or no bulk material movement
The FTR16 keeps the electrical switch closed as long as there is minimal or no bulk
material movement.
Function monitoring
With a two-channel evaluation, a function monitoring of the FTR16 can be realized in
addition to the bulk material movement monitoring. When both outputs are connected,
they assume opposite states (antivalence) in fault-free operation. In the event of a fault or
a line break, both outputs are switched o.

For operation, the operating magnet (north pole visible as shown) must be placed on the
marked surfaces of the FTR16. The operating magnet is included in the scope of delivery.
7�4 Parameterization
Setting options 7.4.2 to 7.4.5 only available with activated parameterization mode
7�4�1 Activation parameterization mode
Power supply o: Operating magnet on "Auto Span", "Process Window" or "Switch
Delay"
Power supply on: Initialization → green LED (operation) ashes slowly
Remove operating magnet → Parameterization mode (green LED continues to ash
slowly)
• The device continues to operate normally in the background depending on the current
settings, so that, for example, an occurring bulk material movement leads to a change-
over of the signal output.
• 10 minutes no action → parameterization mode is terminated (device switches to nor-
mal operation).
• The parameterization mode can also be terminated by a voltage reset.
7�4�2 Automatic adjustment
• Automatic adjustment of the process-dependent detection range.
• To be performed once during commissioning with maximum movement of the bulk
material
Operating magnet on "Auto Span" → green LED (operation) ashes fast
Remove the operating magnet within 10 seconds:
→ green LED lights up for 2 s
→ adjustment successfully performed
• Automatic adjustment not feasible (for example, in the absence of bulk material move-
ment) → Warning
• Aer an automatic adjustment, the white LED (signal strength) lights up permanently if
the signal strength is suciently high and there is bulk material movement.
