surface
of the process connection. To avoid additional strain on the process isolating diaphragm, the
thread should never be sealed with hemp or similar materials.
• Devices with NPT threads:
– Wrap Teflon tape around the thread to seal it.
– Tighten the device at the hexagonal bolt only. Do not turn at the housing.
– Do not overtighten the thread when screwing. Max. torque: 20 to 30 Nm (14.75 to 22.13
lbf ft)
4.4.1 Mounting sensor modules with PVDF thread
! WARNING

Deltapilot M PROFIBUS PA Installation
! WARNING
Material fatigue from pressure and temperature!
Risk of injury if parts burst! The thread can become loose if exposed to high pressure and
temperatures.
‣ The integrity of the thread must be checked regularly and the thread may need to be
re-tightened with the maximum tightening torque of 7 Nm (5.16 lbf ft). Teflon tape is
recommended for sealing the ½" NPT thread.
4.5 Installing
• Due to the orientation of the Deltapilot M, there may be a shift in the zero point, i.e. when the
container is empty or partially full, the measured value does not display zero. You can correct
this zero point shift  ä 26, Section "Function of the operating elements" or  ä 39,
Section 8.3 "Position zero adjustment".
• The local display can be rotated in 90° stages.
• Endress+Hauser offers a mounting bracket for installing on pipes or walls.
 ä 15, Section 4.5.6 "Wall and pipe mounting (optional)".
4.5.1 General installation instructions

• Do not clean or touch process isolating diaphragms with hard or pointed objects.
• The process isolating diaphragm in the rod and cable version is protected against mechanical
damage by a plastic cap.
• If a heated Deltapilot M is cooled during the cleaning process (e.g. by cold water), a vacuum
develops for a short time, whereby moisture can penetrate the sensor through the pressure
compensation (1). If this is the case, mount the Deltapilot M with the pressure compensation
(1) pointing downwards.

• Keep the pressure compensation and GORE-TEX® filter (1) free from contamination.
Endress+Hauser 11
• The device must be installed as follows in order to comply with the cleanability requirements
of the ASME-BPE (Part SD Cleanibility).:
4.5.2 FMB50
Level measurement
• Always install the device below the lowest measuring point.
• Do not install the device at the following positions:
– in the filling curtain
– in the tank outflow
– in the suction area of a pump
– or at a point in the tank that can be affected by pressure pulses from the agitator
• The calibration and functional test can be carried out more easily if you mount the device
downstream of a shutoff device.
• Deltapilot M must be included in the insulation for media that can harden when cold.
Pressure measurement in gases

• Mount Deltapilot M with shutoff device above the tapping point so that any condensate can
flow into the process.
Pressure measurement in steams

• Mount Deltapilot M with siphon above the tapping point.
• Fill the siphon with liquid before commissioning.
The siphon reduces the temperature to almost the ambient temperature.
Pressure measurement in liquids

• Mount Deltapilot M with the shutoff device below or at the same level as the tapping point.
12 Endress+Hauser
4.5.3 FMB51/FMB52/FMB53
• When mounting rod and cable versions, make sure that the probe head is located at a point
as free as possible from flow. To protect the probe from impact resulting from lateral
movement, mount the probe in a guide tube (preferably made of plastic) or secure it with a
clamping fixture.
• In the case of devices for hazardous areas, comply strictly with the safety instructions when
the housing cover is open.
• The length of the extension cable or the probe rod is based on the planned level zero point.
The height of the protective cap must be taken into consideration when designing the layout
of the measuring point. The level zero point (E) corresponds to the position of the process
isolating diaphragm.
Level zero point = E; top of the probe = L.

6.3 Operation with an operating menu

6.3.1 Operation concept
The operation concept makes a distinction between the following user roles:
User role Meaning
Operator Operators are responsible for the devices during normal "operation". This is usually limited to
reading process values either directly at the device or in a control room. If the work with the
devices extends beyond value read-off tasks, the tasks involve simple, application-specific
functions that are used in operation. Should an error occur, these users simple forward the
information on the errors but do not intervene themselves.
Service Service engineers usually work with the devices in the phases following device commissioning.
engineer/technician They are primarily involved in maintenance and troubleshooting activities for which simple
settings have to be made at the device.
Technicians work with the devices over the entire life cycle of the product.
Thus, commissioning and advanced settings and configurations are some of the tasks they have
to carry out.
Expert Experts work with the devices over the entire product life cycle, but their device requirements
are often extremely high. Individual parameters/functions from the overall functionality of the
devices are required for this purpose time and again.
In addition to technical, process-oriented tasks, experts can also perform administrative tasks
(e.g. user administration).
"Experts" can avail of the entire parameter set.
6.3.2 Structure of the operating menu
User role Submenu Meaning/use
Operator Language Only consists of the "Language" parameter (000) where the operating language
for the device is specified.
The language can always be changed even if the device is locked.
Endress+Hauser 27
User role Submenu Meaning/use
Operator Display/operat. Contains parameters that are needed to configure the measured value display
(selecting the values displayed, display format, etc.).
With this submenu, users can change the measured value display without
affecting the actual measurement.
Service Setup Contains all the parameters that are needed to commission measuring
engineer/technic operations. This submenu has the following structure:
ian • Standard setup parameters
A wide range of parameters, which can be used to configure a typical
application, is available at the start. The measuring mode selected determines
which parameters are available.
After making settings for all these parameters, the measuring operation
should be completely configured in the majority of cases.
• "Extended setup" submenu
The "Extended setup" submenu contains additional parameters for more
in-depth configuration of the measurement operation to convert the
measured value and to scale the output signal.
This menu is split into additional submenus depending on the measuring
mode selected.
Service Diagnosis Contains all the parameters that are needed to detect and analyze operating
engineer/technic errors. This submenu has the following structure:
ian • Diagnostic list
Contains up to 10 error messages currently pending.
• Event logbook
Contains the last 10 error messages (no longer pending).
• Instrument info
Contains information on the device identification.
• Measured values
Contains all the current measured values
• Simulation
Is used to simulate pressure, level and alarm/warning.
• Reset
Expert Expert Contains all the parameters of the device (including those in one of the
submenus). The "Expert" submenu is structured by the function blocks of the
device. It thus contains the following submenus:
• System
Contains general device parameters that neither affect measurement nor
integration into a distributed control system.
• Measurement
Contains all the parameters for configuring the measurement.
• Communication
Contains the parameters of the PROFIBUS PA interface.
• Application
Contains all the parameters for configuring the functions that go beyond the
actual measurement (e.g. totalizer).
• Diagnosis
Contains all the parameters that are needed to detect and analyze operating
errors.
For an overview of the entire operating menu: see operating instructions.

6.3.3 Operation with a device display (optional)

A 4-line liquid crystal display (LCD) is used for display and operation. The onsite display shows
measured values, dialog texts, fault messages and notice messages.
For easy operation the display can be taken out of the housing (see figure steps 1 to 3). It is
connected to the device through a 90 mm (3.54 in) cable.
The display of the device can be turned in 90° stages (see figure steps 4 to 6).
Depending on the orientation of the device, this makes it easy to operate the device and read the
measured values.

• There is no unit conversion.
• The values entered for "Empty calib. (028)/Full calib. (031)", "Empty pressure (029)/Full
pressure (032)", "Empty height (030)/Full height (033)" must be at least 1 % apart. The value
will be rejected, and a warning message displayed, if the values are too close together.
You have a choice of two methods for calculating the level: "In pressure" and "In height". The table
in the "Overview of level measurement" section that follows provides you with an overview of
these two measuring tasks.

8.4.3 "In pressure" level selection

Calibration with reference pressure (wet calibration)
Example:
In this example, the level in a tank should be measured in "m". The maximum level is 3 m (9.8
ft). The pressure range is due to the filling height and the density.
Prerequisite:
• The measured variable is in direct proportion to the pressure.
• The tank can be filled and emptied.
The values entered for "Empty calib. (028)/Full calib. (031)" and the pressures present at the
device must be at least 1% apart. The value will be rejected, and a warning message displayed,
if the values are too close together. Further limit values are not checked; i.e. the values entered
must be appropriate for the sensor and the measuring task so that the measuring device can
measure correctly.

8.4.4 "In pressure" level selection

Calibration without reference pressure (dry calibration)
Example:
In this example, the volume in a tank should be measured in liters. The maximum volume of
1000 liters (264 gal) corresponds to a pressure of 450 mbar (6.53 psi). The minimum volume
42 Endress+Hauser
of 0 liters corresponds to a pressure of 50 mbar (0.72 psi) since the device is mounted below the
start of the level measuring range.
Prerequisite:
• This is a theoretical calibration i.e. the pressure and volume values for the lower and upper
calibration point must be known.
• The values entered for "Empty calib. (028)/Full calib. (031)", "Empty pressure (029)/Full
pressure (032)" must be at least 1% apart. The value will be rejected, and a warning message
displayed, if the values are too close together. Further limit values are not checked; i.e. the
values entered must be appropriate for the sensor and the measuring task so that the
measuring device can measure correctly.
• Due to the orientation of the device, there may be pressure shifts in the measured value, i.e.
when the container is empty or partly filled, the measured value is not zero. For information
on how to perform position adjustment, see  ä 39, "Position zero adjustment".
