Silometer FMX 570 Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Application

The Silometer FMX 570 is designed for level measurement with a capacitance or

hydrostatic pressure probe in safe or explosion hazardous areas. It possesses an

intrinsically-safe sensor circuit conforming to EEx ia IIC and IIB. A list of certificated

combinations is to be found in »Notes on Safety« preceding this chapter. A working

system for level measurement comprises:

•Silometer FMX 570 transmitter,

•Capacitance, Multicap or Deltapilot S probe

•Electronic insert

Silometer function The capacitance or pressure measured by the sensor is converted into a frequency

signal by the electronic insert located in its head. The Silometer FMX 570 supplies the

power and receives a level-proportional frequency signal over a two-core cable. The

signal is then processed to provide a level or volume measurement.

Fail-safe operation If a fault condition is detected, e.g. a break in sensor - transmitter cable, the analogue

signal switches to -10 % or +110 % level or holds the last measured value. In addition,

the alarm relay de-energises.

1.2 Measuring principle

The Silometer FMX 570 measures level on the basis of the capacitance and hydrostatic

measurement principles. In both cases the measured value is processed by the

electronic insert and passed on as a frequency signal.

The probe and vessel form the two plates

of a capacitor, the total capacitance of

which can then be calculated from the

formula:

Ctot =C

1 + 2πε0εrx L pF (1)

--------------------------------

ln (D/d)

whereby

Ctot = total capacitance

C1= capacitance or feed through

ε0= dielectric constant of air

εr= rel. dielectric constant of product

D= diameter of vessel

d= diameter of probe

L= length of probe immersed in

product in meters

If the product conducts, the capacitance is

determined by the thickness and

properties of the insulating material

surrounding the probe. Equation (1)

applies, whereby the variable D is now the

diameter of the probe with insulation. In this

case the capacitance varies by approx.

300 pF/m.

Measurement is independent of dielectric

constant and not affected by changes in

this variable.

In an open vessel, the level is derived from

the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a

column of liquid on a probe placed at its

foot. The pressure exerted is:

p1=ρx g x h (2)

whereby

p1= hydrostatic pressure

ρ= density of the liquid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the liquid column.

Assuming a constant density, the level of

the liquid can be calculated from the

pressure measured by the Deltapilot.

Silometer FMX 570 Chapter 1: Introduction

2 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.
