Cleaning the probe Depending on the application, soilings or sediments can accumulate on the probe. A thin, even layer
only influences measurement slightly. Thick layers can dampen the signal and then reduce the
measuring range. Heavy, uneven build-up, adhesion e.g. through crystallisation, can lead to
incorrect measurement. In this case, we recommend that you use a non-contact measuring
principle, or check the probe regularly for soiling
Electromagnetic compatibility When installing the probes in metal tanks:
• Interference emission to EN 61326, Class A equipment.
• Interference immunity to EN 61326, Annex A (Industrial area) and NAMUR Recommendation
NE 21 (EMC)
The measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields when installing rod and rope
probes without a metallic wall, e.g. plastic tanks. For interference emission according to EN 61326,
we fulfil the requirement for Class A equipment.
• Interference emission to EN 61326, Class A equipment.
• Interference immunity: the measured value can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields.

Process temperature range FMP40
The maximum permitted temperature at the process connection (see Figure for measuring point) is
determined by the O-ring version ordered:

Note!
The medium temperature can be higher.
