Mounting Levelflex M FMP40 with PROFIBUS PA
30 Endress + Hauser
Installation in plastic containers
Please note that the "guided level radar" measuring principle requires a metallic surface at the
process connection.
When installing rod or robe probes in plastic silos, whose silo cover is also made of plastic or silos
with wood cover, the probes must either be mounted in a ≥ DN 50 / 2" metallic flange, or a metal
sheet with diameter of ≥ 200 mm must be mounted under the screw-in piece.

Installation from the side
• If installation from above is not possible, the
Levelflex can also be mounted from the side.
• In this case, always fix the rope probe (see
"Fixing rope probe").
• Support coax probe if the lateral load-bearing
capacity is exceeded. Only fix rod probes at
the probe end.
• Connect rod probe metallically with the
container wall.

Caution!
Insulate or ground the rod probe when welding
the sleeve as device will otherwise be destroyed!
