the following requirements:
• Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task
• Are authorized by the plant owner/operator
• Are familiar with federal/national regulations

2.2 Designated use
The Gammapilot FMG50 is a compact transmitter for non-contact level, point level,
density and concentration measurement. The detector is up to 3 m (9.84 ft) in length. The
Gammapilot FMG50 is certified according to IEC 61508 for safety-related operation up to
SIL 2/3.
2.3 Installation, commissioning and operation
The Gammapilot FMG50 is designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements and
complies with applicable standards and EC regulations. However, if it is used improperly or
for applications for which it is not intended, application-related hazards may arise, e.g.
product overflow due to incorrect installation or configuration. Installation, electrical
connection, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measuring system must
therefore be carried out exclusively by trained specialists authorized to perform such work
by the system operator. Technical personnel must have read and understood these
Operating Instructions and must adhere to them. Modifications and repairs to the device
may only be carried out if they are expressly permitted in the Operating Instructions.
