Gammapilot M FMG60 PROFIBUS PA Installation
Endress+Hauser 13
3.2.2 Installation conditions for point level detection
Conditions
• For point level detection, the Gammapilot M is generally mounted horizontally at the height
of the desired level limit.
• 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.
• 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)
More information with regard to the safety-related use of the Gammapilot M can be
found in the Functional Safety Manual SD00230F/00/EN and SD00324F/00/EN.
