!Note!
This Operating Instructions explains 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
conventing measured values. These functions are not included in these Operating Instructions.
An overview of all device functions can be found on →ä90.
The Operating Instructions BA00245F/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

1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The Levelflex M is a compact level transmitter for the continuous measurement of solids and liquids,
measuring prinziple: Guided Level Radar / TDR: Time Domain Reflectometry.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
The Levelflex M has been designed to operate safely in accordance with current technical, safety
and EU standards. 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 calibration. For this reason, the device must be installed, connected,
operated and maintained according to the instructions in this manual: personnel must be authorised
and suitably qualified. The manual must have been read and understood, and the instructions
followed. Modifications and repairs to the device are permissible only when they are expressly
approved in the manual.
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.
Hazardous areas
Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of this Operating Manual. Strict compliance with the
installation instructions and ratings as stated in this Additional documentation is mandatory.
• Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.
• Observe the specifications in the certificate as well as national and local regulations.

1.4 Notes on 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 conventions
#Warning!
A warning highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, will lead to personal
injury, a safety hazard or 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, may indirectly affect
operation or may lead to an device response which is not planned.
Explosion protection
0Device certified for use in explosion hazardous area
If the device has this symbol embossed on its name plate 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
%Direct voltage
A terminal to which or from which a direct current or voltage may be applied or supplied.
&Alternating voltage
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.
+Equipotential connection (earth bonding)
A connection made to the plant grounding system which may be of type e.g. neutral star or
equipotential line according to national or company practice.
Temperature resistance of the connection cables
States, that the connection cables must be resistant to a temperature of at least 85 °C.
