2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for the personnel
The personnel for installation, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance must fulfill
the following requirements:
‣Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task.
‣Are authorized by the plant owner/operator.
‣Are familiar with federal/national regulations.
‣Before starting work, read and understand the instructions in the manual and
supplementary documentation as well as the certificates (depending on the
application).
‣Follow instructions and comply with basic conditions.
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
‣Are instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the facility's
owner-operator.
‣Follow the instructions in this manual.
2.2 Designated use
Application and measured materials
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is intended only for level
and interface measurement of liquids. Depending on the version ordered the device can
also measure potentially explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing materials.
Observing the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and listed in the Operating
Instructions and supplementary documentation, the measuring device may be used for the
following measurements only:
‣Measured process variable: Level and/or interface
‣Calculated process variable: Volume oder mass in arbitrarily shaped vessels (calculated
from the level by the linearization functionality)
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣Use the measuring device only for measured materials against which the process-
wetted materials are adequately resistant.
‣Observe the limit values in "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Verification for borderline cases:
‣For special measured materials and cleaning agents, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide
assistance in verifying the corrosion resistance of wetted materials, but does not accept
any warranty or liability.
Residual risk
The electronics housing and its built-in components such as display module, main
electronics module and I/O electronics module may heat to 80 °C (176 °F) during operation
through heat transfer from the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics.
During operation the sensor may assume a temperature near the temperature of the

LWARNING
Housing or probe may be damaged or break away.
Risk of injury!
‣Transport the measuring device to the measuring point in its original packaging or at
the process connection.
‣Do not fasten lifting devices (hoisting slings, lifting eyes etc.) at the housing or the
probe but at the process connection. Take into account the mass center of the device in
order to avoid unintended tilting.
‣Comply with the safety instructions, transport conditions for devices over 18kg

NOTICE
Shipping lock for FMP5x with coax probe
‣For FMP5x with coax probe the coax tube is not fixed permanently to the electronics
housing. For shipping and transport it is secured with two cable ties. In order to prevent
the spacer at the probe rod from moving along the probe, these cable ties must not be
loosened when transporting and mounting the device. They may only be undone
directly before screwing the device flange to the process connection.
