Gammapilot M FMG60 PROFIBUS PA Installation
Endress+Hauser 11
3.1.4 Storage
Pack the device so that it is protected against impact for storage and transport. The original
packaging provides optimum protection. The permissible storage temperature is:
• –40 to +50 °C (–40 to +122 °F) for devices with PVT scintillator
• –40 to +60 °C (–40 to +140 °F) for devices with NaI crystal
3.2 Installation conditions
3.2.1 Installation conditions for level measurement
Conditions
• For level measurements the Gammapilot M is mounted vertically; if possible the detector
head should point downwards
• The angle of emission of the source container must be exactly aligned to the measuring
range of the Gammapilot M. Observe the measuring range marks of the Gammapilot M.
• If several Gammapilot M devices are connected in cascade mode, there should not be any
gap between the individual measuring ranges.
• The source container and the Gammapilot M 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 M should be protected against direct sunlight in order to increase its
service life. Use a protective cover if necessary.
• The mounting device FHG60 or an equivalent mounting device should be used to secure the
Gammapilot M (Operating Instructions -> "Accessories" section).
The mounting device itself must be installed in such a way that it can withstand the weight
of the Gammapilot M under all anticipated conditions (e.g. vibrations). (Operating
Instructions -> "Installation conditions" section)
The Gammapilot M should be given additional support to prevent damage to the
connecting cable or to the unit if it falls.
