2.2 Intended use
Application and media
The measuring device described in this manual is intended only for the level measurement of
bulk solids. Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure
potentially explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.
If the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and the conditions listed in the manual and
additional documentation are observed, the measuring device may be used for the following
measurements only:
‣Measured process variables: level
‣Calculable process variables: volume or mass in any shape of vessel (calculated from the
level by the linearization functionality)
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣Use the measuring device only for media to which the process-wetted materials have an
adequate level of resistance.
‣Observe the limit values in the "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-intended use.
Verification for borderline cases:
‣For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance in
verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any
warranty or liability.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process as well as power loss in the electronics, the temperature
of the electronics housing and the assemblies contained therein (e.g. display module, main
electronics module and I/O electronics module) may rise up to 80 °C (176 °F). When in
operation, the sensor may reach a temperature close to the medium temperature.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣In the event of high medium temperatures, ensure protection against contact to prevent
burns.
2.3 Workplace safety
When working on and with the device:
‣Wear the required personal protective equipment according to federal/national
regulations.
2.4 Operational safety
Risk of injury!
‣Operate the device only if it is in proper technical condition, free from errors and faults.
‣The operator is responsible for the interference-free operation of the device.

Modifications to the device
Unauthorized modifications to the device are not permitted and can lead to unforeseeable
dangers:
‣If modifications are nevertheless required, consult with the manufacturer.
Repair
To ensure continued operational safety and reliability:
‣Carry out repairs on the device only if they are expressly permitted.
‣Observe federal/national regulations pertaining to the repair of an electrical device.
‣Use only original spare parts and accessories from the manufacturer.
Hazardous area
To eliminate danger to persons or the installation when the device is used in the hazardous
area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety):
‣Check the nameplate to verify whether the ordered device can be put to its intended use in
the hazardous area.
‣Observe the specifications in the separate supplementary documentation, which is an
integral part of this manual.
2.5 Product safety
This measuring device is designed in accordance with good engineering practice to meet state-
of-the-art safety requirements, has been tested, and left the factory in a condition in which it
is safe to operate. It meets the general safety standards and legal requirements.
NOTICE
Loss of degree of protection by opening of the device in humid environments
‣If the device is opened in a humid environment, the degree of protection indicated on the
nameplate is no longer valid. This may also impair the safe operation of the device.
2.5.1 CE mark
The measuring system meets the legal requirements of the applicable EU directives. These are
listed in the corresponding EU Declaration of Conformity together with the standards applied.
The manufacturer confirms successful testing of the device by affixing to it the CE mark.
2.5.2 EAC conformity
The measuring system meets the legal requirements of the applicable EAC guidelines. These
are listed in the corresponding EAC Declaration of Conformity along with the standards
applied.
The manufacturer confirms successful testing of the device by affixing to it the EAC mark.

3.3 Storage and transport
3.3.1 Storage temperature
• Permitted storage temperature: –40 to +80 °C (–40 to +176 °F)
• Use original packaging.
3.3.2 Transporting the product to the measuring point
LWARNING
Housing or rod may become damaged or pull off.
Risk of injury!
‣Transport the measuring device to the measuring point in its original packaging or by the
process connection.
‣Always secure lifting equipment (slings, eyes, etc.) at the process connection and never lift
the device by the electronic housing or probe. Pay attention to the center of gravity of the
device so that it does not tilt or slip unintentionally.
‣Follow the safety instructions and transport conditions for devices weighing more than 18
kg (39.6 lbs) (IEC 61010).

Spacing requirements when mounting
• Distance (A) between the vessel wall and rod and rope probes:
• For smooth metallic walls: > 50 mm (2 in)
• For plastic walls: > 300 mm (12 in) to metallic parts outside the vessel
• For concrete walls: > 500 mm (20 in), otherwise the permitted measuring range may be
reduced.
• Distance (B) between rod probes and internal fittings (3): > 300 mm (12 in)
• When using more than one Levelflex:
Minimum distance between the sensor axes: 100 mm (3.94 in)
• Distance (C) from the end of the probe to the bottom of the vessel:
• Rope probe: > 150 mm (6 in)
• Rod probe: > 10 mm (0.4 in)

• The end of the rope probe must be secured (fixed down) under the following conditions:
• If the probe would otherwise temporarily come into contact with the vessel wall, the cone,
internal fittings/beams or another part of the installation
• If the probe comes closer than 0.5 m (1.6 ft) to a concrete wall.
• A female thread is provided in the probe weight to secure the end of the probe:
• Rope 4 mm (1/6"), 316: M 14
• Rope 6 mm (1/4"), 316: M 20
• Rope 6 mm (1/4"), PA>steel: M14
• Rope 8mm (1/3"), PA>steel: M20
• Far higher tensile loads occur on the probe when it is secured (fixed down). Therefore,
preferably use the 6 mm (1/4") rope probe.
• When fixed down, the end of the probe must be either reliably grounded or reliably
insulated. Use an insulated fastening kit if it is not otherwise possible to secure the probe
with a reliably insulated connection.
• To prevent an extremely high tensile load (e.g. due to thermal expansion) and the risk of
the rope breaking, the rope must be slack. Required sag: ≥ 10 mm/(1 m rope length) [ 0.12
in/(1 ft rope length)].
Pay attention to the tensile loading capacity of rope probes.
Securing rod probes
• In the case of WHG approval: a support is required for probe lengths ≥ 3 m (10 ft).
• In general, rod probes must be secured in the event of horizontal flow (e.g. from an
agitator) or strong vibrations.
• Only secure rod probes directly at the end of the probe.
