!Note!

These Operating Instructions explain 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

converting measured values. These functions are not included in these Operating Instructions.

An overview of all the device functions can be found on →ä72.

The Operating Instructions BA00366F/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 the total level

and the interface level in liquids. Measuring principle: guided level radar / TDR:

Time Domain Reflectometry.

1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation

The Levelflex M is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements and conforms to applicable

standards and EC regulations. 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 configuration. For this reason, installation, connection to the

electricity supply, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system must only

be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by the facility's

owner-operator. The specialist must have read and understood these Operating Instructions and

must follow the instructions they contain. Modifications and repairs to the device are permissible

only when they are expressly approved in the Operating Instructions.

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.

The measuring device meets the general safety requirements according to EN 61010-1 and the

EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326 in addition to NAMUR Recommendations NE 21 and NE 43.

Hazardous areas

If using the measuring system in hazardous areas, the appropriate national standards must be

observed. The device is accompanied by separate Ex documentation, which is an integral part of this

documentation. The installation regulations, connection values and safety instructions listed in this

document must be observed.

• Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.

• Measuring point requirements with regard to measurement and safety must be observed.

1.4 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 instructions

#Warning!

A warning highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, will lead to personal

injury, a safety hazard or the 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, can have an indirect effect

on operation or trigger an unexpected response on the part of the device.

Explosion protection

0Explosion-protected, type-examined equipment

If the device has this symbol embossed on its nameplate, it can be used in a hazardous area or a

non-hazardous area, according to the approval.

-Hazardous areas

This symbol is used in the drawings of these Operating Instructions to indicate hazardous areas.

Devices in hazardous areas, or cables for such devices, must have appropriate explosion protection.

. Safe area (non-hazardous area)

This symbol is used in the drawings of these Operating Instructions to indicate non-hazardous areas.

Devices in the non-hazardous area also have to be certified if connecting cables lead into the

hazardous area.

Electrical symbols

%Direct voltage

A terminal to which DC voltage is applied or through which direct current flows.

&Alternating voltage

A terminal to which alternating voltage (sine-wave) is applied or through which alternating current

flows.

)Ground connection

A grounded terminal which, as far as the operator is concerned, is grounded by means of a grounding

system.

*Protective ground connection

A terminal which must be connected to ground prior to making any other connection to the

equipment.

+Equipotential connection

A connection that has to be connected to the plant grounding system:

This may be a potential equalization line or a star grounding system depending on national or

company codes of practice.

Temperature resistance of the connection cables

States that the connection cables must be resistant to a temperature of at least 85 °C.
