Operating conditions: general installation instructions for
special installation situations
Probe length The measuring range is directly dependent on the probe length.
It is better to order probes too long than too short since it is possible to shorten the probe if necessary.
In the case of the rope probe with a rod weight, shortening at the probe end weight is only possible with the
special product in accordance with MVT6N0186. See also modification information MI0079/00/A2.
Installation in nozzles
>150mm high
Installation in DN200 (8") and
DN250 (10") nozzles
If, when installing probes in nozzles DN40 (1½")
to 250 (10") with nozzle height (HS) of
> 150 mm (6"), the probe could touch the lower edge
of the nozzle due to moving materials in the
container, we recommend using an extension rod
with or without centering disk.
This accessory consists of the extension rod
corresponding to the nozzle height, on which a
centering disk is also mounted if the nozzles are
narrow or when working in bulk solids.
This component is delivered separately from the
device. Please order the probe length correspondingly
shorter. For the exact length of the rod see "Extension
rod (Centering)", → ä 67.
Order codes for specific nozzle nominal diameters
and heights can be found on → ä 67.
Only use centering disks with small diameters (DN40
and DN50) if there is no significant buildup in the
nozzle above the disk. The nozzle must not become
clogged with product.

When installing the Levelflex in nozzles of
> 200 mm (8"), signals are generated by reflections
on the nozzle wall, which can sometimes lead to
faulty measurements in the case of products with
small dielectric constants. With nozzle diameters of
200 mm (8") or 250 mm (10"), therefore, a special
flange with a “horn adapter” must be fitted.
Nozzles with nominal diameters greater than
250 mm (10") should be avoided.
If the rope probe is strongly deflected: use an
extension rod/centering HMP40, additionally.
