Installation
This Chapter describes:
•
The probes for use with the Silometer FMX 570
•
Silometer installation in a rack or Monorack housing
•
Transmitter wiring
•
Sensor connection.
•
Technical data.
Warning!
•
The Silometer FMX 570 transmitter must be installed outside explosion hazardous
areas.
2.1
Probes and sensors
Table 2.1 lists the probes most frequently used with the Silometer FMX 570 transmitter.
In addition to those listed, all probes which can be used with an EC 37 Z or EC 47 Z
electronic insert can be connected to the transmitter. Installation hints can be taken from
the appropriate Technical Information Sheet.
Sensor constants
Deltapilot S sensors and EC 37 Z/47 Z inserts for capacitance probes are supplied with
the sensor constants zero frequency »fo« and sensitivity »
∆
f« or »S«. For Deltapilot S
sensors the constants are printed on a label stuck inside the sensor head, for inserts
they are printed on the name plate, see Fig. 7.1, Section 7.3.
Note these constants and enter them into fields V3H5 and V3H6 during commissioning,
Section 4.1. This dispenses with the need for a recalibration of the transmitter on
replacement of the sensor or insert.
