C Reliably isolated end of probe
1: Mounting and contact with a bolt
2 Mounting kit isolated

• The end of the probe needs to be secured under the following conditions:
if otherwise the probe sporadically comes into contact with the wall of the vessel, the outlet
cone, internal fittings or other parts of the installation.
• The end of probe can be secured at its internal thread
rope 4 mm (1/6"), 316: M 14
• The fixing must be either reliably grounded or reliably insulated. If it is not possible to
mount the probe weight with a reliably insulated connection, it can be secured using an
isolated eyelet, which is available as an accessory.
• In order to prevent an extremely high tensile load (e.g. due to thermal expansion) and the
risk of rope crack, the rope has to be slack. Make the rope longer than the required
measuring range such that there is a sag in the middle of the rope that is ≥ 1cm/(1 m rope
length) [0.12 inch/(1 ft rope length)].

Securing rod probes

• For WHG approvals: For probe lengths ≥ 3 m (10 ft) a support is required.
• In general, rod probes must be supported if there is a horizontal flow (e.g. from an agitator)
or in the case of strong vibrations.
• Rod probes may only be supported at the end of the probe.

1. Using an Allen key, loosen the set screws at the end-of-probe weight or the clamping
sleeve of the centering disk. Note: The set screws have got a clamping coating in order
to prevent accidental loosening. Thus an increased torque might be necessary to loosen
them.
2. Remove released rope from the weight or sleeve.
3. Measure off new rope length.
4. Wrap adhesive tape around the rope at the point to be shortened to prevent it from
fanning out.
5. Saw off the rope at a right angle or cut it off with a bolt cutter.
6. Insert the rope completely into the weight or sleeve.
7. Screw the set screws into place. Due to the clamping coating of the setscrews application
of a screw locking fluid is not necessary.

Shortening coax probes

Coax probes must be shortened if the distance to the container floor or outlet cone is less than
10 mm (0.4 in).
Coax probes can be shortened max. 80 mm (3.2 in) from the end. They have centering
units inside, which fix the rod centrally in the pipe. The centerings are held with borders
on the rod. Shortening is possible up to approx. 10 mm (0.4 in) below the centering unit.
The coax probe is shortened by sawing the pipe at the bottom end.

Entering the new probe length

After shortening the probe:
1. Go to the Probe settings submenu and perform a probe length correction.

6.2.3 Mounting the device

Mounting devices with thread

A0012528

Devices with mounting thread are screwed into a welding boss or a flange and are usually also
secured with these.
• Tighten with the hexagonal nut only:
– Thread 3/4": Hexagonal wrench 36 mm
– Thread 1-1/2": Hexagonal wrench 55 mm
• Maximum permissible torque:
– Thread 3/4": 45 Nm
– Thread 1-1/2": 450 Nm
• Recommended torque when using the supplied aramid fibre seal and a process
pressure of 40 bar (580 psi):
– Thread 3/4": 25 Nm
– Thread 1-1/2": 140 Nm
• When installing in metal containers, take care to ensure good metallic contact
between the process connection and container.

Flange mounting
If a seal is used, be sure to use unpainted metal bolts to ensure good electrical contact
between probe flange and process flange.

‣ Earth the housing before lowering the rope into the vessel.

Endress+Hauser 23
Mounting Levelflex FMP51, FMP52, FMP54 HART

A0012852

When lowering the rope probe into the vessel, observe the following:
• Uncoil rope and lower it slowly and carefully into the vessel.
• Do not kink the rope.
• Avoid any backlash, since this might damage the probe or the vessel fittings.

6.2.4 Mounting the "Sensor remote" version

This section is only valid for devices of the version "Probe Design" = "Sensor remote"
(feature 600, option MB/MC/MD).
For the version "Probe design" = "Sensor remote" the following is supplied:
• The probe with the process connection
• The electronics housing
• The mounting bracket for wall or pipe mounting of the electronics housing
• The connection cable (length as ordered). The cable has got one straight and one angled
plug (90°). Depending on the local conditions the angled plug can be connected at the probe
or at the electronics housing.

Levelflex FMP51, FMP52, FMP54 HART Mounting

LCAUTION
The plugs of the connection cable may be damaged by mechanical stress.
‣ Mount the probe and the electronics housing tightly before connecting the cable.
‣ Lay the cable such that it is not exposed to mechanical stress. Minimum bending radius:
100 mm (4").
‣ When connecting the cable: Connect the straight plug before the angled one. Torque for
both coupling nuts: 6 Nm.

Probe, electronics and connection cable are adjusted to match each other. They are
marked by a common serial number. Only components with the same serial number shall
be connected to each other.
If the measuring point is exposed to strong vibrations, an additional locking compound
(e.g. Loctite 243) can be applied at the plug connectors.
