Mounting Gammapilot FMG50 HART
10 Endress+Hauser
A0038007
5.1 Mounting requirements
5.1.1 General information
• The angle of emission of the source container must be exactly aligned to the measuring
range of the Gammapilot FMG50. Observe the measuring range marks of the device.
• The source container and the Gammapilot FMG50 should be mounted as close to the vessel
as possible. Any access to the beam must be blocked to ensure that it is not possible to reach
into this area.
• The Gammapilot FMG50 should be protected against direct sunlight or process heat in
order to increase its service life.
• Feature 620, option PA: "Weather protection cover 316L"
• Feature 620, option PV: "Heat shield 1200-3000 mm, PVT"
• Feature 620, option PW: "Heat shield NaI, 200-800 mm, PVT"
• Terminals can optionally be ordered with the device
• The mounting device must be installed in such a way as to withstand the weight of the
Gammapilot FMG50 under all anticipated operating conditions (e.g. vibrations).
More information with regard to the safety-related use of the Gammapilot FMG50 can
be found in the Functional Safety Manual.
In addition to the dimensions and weights, the mounting requirements for level measurement
and point level measurement are described in the following section.
Mounting requirements for
• Density measurement
• Interface measurement
• Density profile measurement (DPS)
• Concentration measurement
• Concentration measurement with radiating media
• Flow measurements
are described in the Operating Instructions.
