Note!

This operating manual explains the installation and initial start-up for the level transmitter

measuring device. All functions that are required for a typical measuring task are taken into account

here.

In addition, the Levelflex M provides many other functions that are not included in this operating

manual, such as optimising the measuring point and converting the measured values.

An overview of all device functions can be found on →ä84.

An extensive description of all device functions can be found in BA245F – "Description of the

instrument functions" on the enclosed CD-ROM.

1 Safety instructions

1.1 Designated use

The Levelflex M FMP41C 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 instrument 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

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 supplementary 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 instrument

Caution!

Caution highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, may lead to personal

injury or incorrect functioning of the instrument

Note!

A note highlights actions or procedures which, if not performed correctly, may indirectly affect

operation or may lead to an instrument response which is not planned

Explosion protection

Device 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.
