Introduction
The Probe is an ultrasonic level monitor combining sensor and electronics in a single package. It is
designed to measure liquid levels in open or closed vessels. The process part (sensor) is PVDF or
ETFE, allowing The Probe to be used in a wide variety of industries, especially food and chemical.
The sensor houses the ultrasonic transducer and temperature sensing element. The Probe emits a
series of ultrasonic pulses from the transducer. Each pulse is reflected as an echo from the material
and sensed by the transducer. The echo is processed by The Probe using Siemens Milltronic’s
proven ‘Sonic Intelligence’ techniques. Filtering is applied to help discriminate between the true
echo from the material, and false echoes from acoustical and electrical noises and agitator blades in
motion. The time for the pulse to travel to the material and back is temperature compensated and
then converted into distance for display, mA output.
Installation
Environmental
The Probe should be mounted in an area that is within the temperature range specified and that is
suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction. The front lid should be accessible to
allow programming, wiring and display viewing.
It is advisable to keep The Probe away from high voltage or current runs, contactors and SCR control
drives.
Location
Notes:
• This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a

Intrinsically Safe Model
FM (reference drawing 1-8600016Z-DX-A)
Under the entity evaluation concept, The Probe has the following characteristics :
Definition :
The Entity Concept allows interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus to associated apparatus
not specifically examined in such combination. The criteria for interconnection is that the voltage
and current which intrinsically safe apparatus can receive and remain intrinsically safe, considering
faults, must be equal or greater than the voltage (Voc or Vt) and current (Isc or It) levels which can
be delivered by the associated apparatus, considering faults and applicable factors. In addition, the
maximum unprotected capacitance (Ci) and Inductance (Li) of the intrinsically safe apparatus,
including interconnecting wiring, must be equal to or less than the capacitance and inductance
which can be safely connected to associated apparatus.
FM / CSA (reference drawing 1-8600016Z-DX-A)
Approved dust tight and water tight conduit seals are required for Class II, Div. 1, Gr. E, F, G, and
outdoor Type 4 / NEMA 4X / IP65 locations.
The maximum voltage of the non-intrinsically safe apparatus must not exceed 250 V rms.
Use only intrinsically safe barriers as listed.
Note: Reference drawing 1-8600016Z-DX-A is available on the product page of our
website at www.siemens.com/theprobe. Go to More Info / Installation drawings and
scroll to Connection Drawings.

Blanking is used to ignore the zone in front of the
transducer where false echoes are at a level that
interfere with the processing of the true echo. It is
measured outward from the sensor face. The minimum
recommended blanking value is 0.25 m (0.82 ft) but can
be increased in order to extend the blanking.

Fail-Safe
In the event a loss of echo or fault condition exceeds the `Waiting' period (see Speed of Response
above or Fail-safe Timer on page 11), the ` ? ' icon appears and one of the following fail-safe defaults
is immediately effected.
p = proportional span i = inversely proportional span * = factory default
• To change the fail-safe default obtain the `FLS' display.
• Scroll forward through the options (1-2-3) by pressing the "20" key. Scroll backward through the
options (3-2-1) by pressing the "4" key.
measurement response: is the limit to which The Probe will be able to keep up with rates of change.
If The Probe measurement cannot keep up with the rate of level change, set the
adjustment from `1' to `2'. If The Probe still cannot keep up with the rate of level
change, set the adjustment option to `3'. Avoid choosing an option that is too fast for
your application.
agitator discrimination: discriminates between agitator blades in motion, and the material (target) surface.
filter: discriminates between false echoes from acoustical and electrical noise and the
material (target) surface.
fail-safe timer: establishes the `Waiting' period from the time a loss of echo or operating fault
condition starts until the fail-safe default is effected. Adjusting the speed of
response will set the fail-safe timer to the default values in the chart. If a different
response is required, adjust the ‘FSt’ option (see page 11).

measurement.
Probable causes are:
• material or object in contact with sensor face
• The Probe is too close to the fill point
• The Probe is not perpendicular to the liquid surface
• change in level too fast
• measurement out of range
• foam on liquid surface
• high level of vibration in the mounting structure

Einleitung
Der Probe ist ein kompaktes Ultraschall-Füllstandmessgerät, das einen Sensor und eine Auswerte-
elektronik umfasst. Er wurde speziell für die Messung von Flüssigkeiten in offenen und geschlosse-
nen Behältern entwickelt. Der Sensorteil besteht aus PVDF oder ETFE für den Einsatz in verschie-
densten Industriebereichen, speziell in den Bereichen Chemie und Nahrungsmittel.
Im Gehäuse ist der Ultraschallsensor und der Temperaturfühler untergebracht. Der Probe sendet
Ultraschallimpulse aus, die vom zu messenden Material reflektiert werden. Die Echos werden vom
Sensor erfasst und mit der bewährten 'Sonic Intelligence' von Siemens Milltronics ausgewertet. Fil-
ter ermöglichen die Unterscheidung von Störechos, die durch akustisches oder elektrisches Rau-
schen und Rührwerke entstehen, vom Nutzecho des Materials. Die Impulslaufzeit zum Material und
zurück ist temperaturkompensiert. Sie wird für die Werte von Anzeige und mA Ausgang in einen
Abstandswert umgewandelt.
Installation
Umgebung
Die Temperaturen am Einbauort dürfen die maximal zulässigen Temperaturwerte nicht überschrei-
ten. Die Umgebung muss für die Gehäuseschutzart und den Werkstoff geeignet sein. Der Probe ist
so zu montieren, dass der elektrische Anschluss, die Kalibrierung und das Ablesen der Messwerte
auf der Anzeige problemlos möglich sind. Vermeiden Sie die Installation in der Nähe von Hochspan-
nungs-, Motorleitungen, Schaltschützen oder Frequenzumrichtern.

Eigensichere Ausführung
FM (Bezugszeichnung 1-8600016Z-DX-A)
Im Rahmen des gesamtheitlichen Bewertungskonzepts weist der Probe folgende Merkmale auf:
Definition:
Das Gesamtheitskonzept (Entity Concept) ermöglicht den Anschluss eigensicherer Geräte an zuge-
hörige Geräte, die nicht speziell in diesem Zusammenhang geprüft wurden. Als Anschlusskriterium
gilt, dass Spannung und Strom, die eigensichere Geräte ohne Verlust ihrer Eigensicherheit aufneh-
men können, größer oder gleich den Spannungs- (Voc oder Vt) und Stromwerten (Ioc oder It) sein
müssen, die vom zugeordneten Gerät geliefert werden können. Dabei müssen Fehler und anwend-
bare Faktoren berücksichtigt werden. Weiterhin muss die maximale ungeschützte Kapazität (Ci) und
Induktivität (Li) des eigensicheren Geräts einschließlich der Verbindungskabel kleiner oder gleich
der Kapazität oder Induktivität sein, welche gefahrlos an das zugeordnete Gerät angeschlossen
werden kann.
FM / CSA (Bezugszeichnung 1-8600016Z-DX-A)
Für Standorte Klasse II, Div. 1, Gr. E, F, G und im Außenbereich Typ 4 / NEMA 4X / IP65 sind zugelas-
sene staub- und wasserdichte Leitungsverschlüsse erforderlich.
Die maximale Spannung eines nicht eigensicheren Betriebsmittels darf 250 V rms nicht überschrei-
ten.
Verwenden Sie ausschließlich eigensichere Zenerbarrieren gemäß nachstehender Liste.
