3.4 Radiation protection
The Gammapilot FMG50 is used in conjunction with a radioactive source, fitted in a source
container. The Gammapilot FMG50 does not emit any radioactive radiation. Observe the
following instructions when handling radioactive sources:
3.4.1 Basic radiation protection guidelines
LWARNING
‣When working with radioactive sources, avoid any unnecessary exposure to radiation. All
unavoidable radiation exposure must be kept to a minimum. Three basic concepts apply to
achieve this:
ABC
A0016373
A Shielding
B Time
C Distance
LCAUTION
‣When working with source containers, all the instructions for mounting and usage outlined
in the following documents must be observed:

• BA01327F
Gammapilot FMG50 HART Basic safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 7
Shielding
Ensure the best possible shielding between the radiation source and yourself and all other
person. Effective shielding is provided by source containers (FQG60, FQG61/FQG62,FQG63,
FQG66) and all high-density materials (lead, iron, concrete etc.).
Time
Remain as short as possible in the area exposed to radiation.
Distance
Keep as far away from the radiation source as possible. The radiation intensity decreases in
proportion to the square of the distance from the radiation source.
3.5 Workplace safety
When working on and with the device:
‣Wear the required personal protective equipment as per national regulations.
‣Switch off the supply voltage before connecting the device.
3.6 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 ensuring trouble-free operation of the device.
3.7 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 general safety standards and legal requirements.
The manufacturer confirms successful testing of the device by affixing to it the CE mark, the
UKCA mark, the C-Tick mark and the EAC mark.
3.8 Supplementary safety instructions
LCAUTION
Devices with version NaI(TI) contain more than 0.1% sodium iodide and are recorded in
the CAS No. 7681-82-5 safety data sheet.
‣The sodium iodide is generally not accessible and fully encapsulated. Ensure full
compliance with the safety instructions in the CAS No.7681-82-5 safety data sheet if the
encapsulation of the sodium iodide within the device is damaged.

5.1 Mounting requirements
5.1.1 General information
• The angle of emission of the source container must be exactly aligned to the measuring
range of the Gammapilot FMG50. Observe the measuring range marks of the device.
• The source container and the Gammapilot FMG50 should be mounted as close to the vessel
as possible. Any access to the beam must be blocked to ensure that it is not possible to reach
into this area.
• The Gammapilot FMG50 should be protected against direct sunlight or process heat in
order to increase its service life.
• Feature 620, option PA: "Weather protection cover 316L"
• Feature 620, option PV: "Heat shield 1200-3000 mm, PVT"
• Feature 620, option PW: "Heat shield NaI, 200-800 mm, PVT"
• Terminals can optionally be ordered with the device
• The mounting device must be installed in such a way as to withstand the weight of the
Gammapilot FMG50 under all anticipated operating conditions (e.g. vibrations).
More information with regard to the safety-related use of the Gammapilot FMG50 can
be found in the Functional Safety Manual.
In addition to the dimensions and weights, the mounting requirements for level measurement
and point level measurement are described in the following section.
Mounting requirements for
