Other applications as listed in Section 1.1 are described in Chapter 5. The operating
instructions are structured as follows:
• Chapter 1: Introduction;
contains general information including application, measurement
principle, functional description and technical data.
• Chapter 2: Installation;
contains hardware configuration, installation instructions and
connection diagrams.
• Chapter 3: Controls;
describes operation with the front panel keys, Commulog VU 260 Z,
and via the Rackbus RS-485 interface.
• Chapter 4: Calibration and Operation;
tells you how to commission the Prolevel for the standard
application including calibration, linearisation, analogue outputs,
relays and locking the parameter matrix.
• Chapter 5: Level Measurement with Limit Switch;
describes the automatic calibration correction and other operating
modes of the Prolevel FMC 661.
• Chapter 6: Trouble-Shooting;

A working system for level measurement comprises:

• Prolevel FMC 661 transmitter,
• Capacitance probe or hydrostatic sensor for level measurement with
appropriate electronic insert, see Chapter 2
• If required, vibration sensor or capacitance probe for level limit detection or
automatic calibration correction.

The Prolevel may operate as a stand alone unit with standard 0/4…20 mA output; two
sets of two relays, freely assignable to channel 1 or 2, can be used to control pumps,
valves, annuciators etc.. Alternatively, the Prolevel may be operated remotely over the
optional Rackbus RS-485 interface, either direct from a personal computer or as part of
a process control system. Connection to Modbus, Profibus or FIP networks can be
realised through the gateways ZA 672, ZA 673 or ZA 674 respectively.

The Prolevel is available in two versions: Versions

• With display and front panel controls,
• Without display and front panel controls — in this case the transmitter must be
configured by the Commulog VU 260 Z handheld terminal or over the optional
Rackbus RS-485 interface.
In all other respects, the two versions are identical. More details on controls and operation
can be found in Chapter 3.

1.3 Measuring principle

The Prolevel FMC 661 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.

Capacitance The probe and vessel form the two plates

D
measurement of a capacitor, the total capacitance of
which can then be calculated from the
formula: C1

2πε0εr x L pF (1)
Ctot = C1 + -------------
L d
ln (D/d)
whereby
Ctot = total capacitance
C1= capacitance of feed through
ε0= dielectric constant of air (8.85)
εr= rel. dielectric constant of product BA142_05

D= diameter of vessel Fig. 1.4:

d= diameter of probe Capacitance measurement principle
L= length of probe immersed in
product in meters

Measurement in If the product conducts, the capacitance is

conducting media now determined by the thickness and D
properties of the insulating material d Conducting
product
surrounding the probe. Equation (1)
applies, whereby the variable D is now the insulation
diameter of the probe with insulation. In this
case the capacitance varies by approx.
300 pF/m.
L
Measurement is independent of dielectric
constant and not affected by changes in
this variable.
BA142_06

Fig. 1.5:
Measurement in conducting media

Hydrostatic In an open vessel, the level is derived from

measurement the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a
column of liquid on a probe placed at its
foot. The pressure exerted is:
p1 = ρxgxh (2) atmospheric
pressure
whereby
p1 = hydrostatic pressure
ρ = density of the liquid p1 = ρ x g x h
g = acceleration due to gravity h
p1
h = height of the liquid column.

Assuming a constant density, the level of

BA142_07
the liquid can be calculated from the
pressure measured by the Deltapilot.

Fig. 1.7 is a block diagram of the Prolevel FMC 661. The transmitter supplies the power
to the sensor. The capacitance or pressure measured by the sensor is converted into a
frequency signal by the electronic insert located in its head and transmitted to the Prolevel
over a two-core cable. The signal is then processed to provide six operating modes.

Mode in V8H0 Function Table 1.1:

Prolevel FMC 661 operating
0 Simultaneous level measurement and limit detection on channels 1 and 2 modes

1 Level measurement on channel 1 only

2 Limit detection on channel 2 only
5 Corrected level measurement — the level measurement at channel 1 is
corrected when the product covers the limit switch at channel 2
6 Simulation of level, volume or current at channel 1
7 Simulation of limit detection at channel 2
By calibrating at two levels, »empty« and »full«, the frequency signal is converted to a Signal processing
level measurement in the units entered during calibration. In mode 5, the measured value
at channel 1 is then corrected. For non-linear volume/level relationships, volume can be
calculated from level via the vessel characteristic which describes the shape of the
vessel. The signal resulting from the calibration and linearisation provides a standard
0/4...20 mA output, proportional to level or volume. Any portion of the measuring range
can be taken to provide a scaled output. The two sets of two relays can be assigned to
either measuring channel to provide level control by switching pumps on and off.

All measured values and the complete configuration can be accessed via the optional
Rackbus RS-485 interface.

If a fault condition is detected, e.g. a break in sensor - transmitter cable, the analogue Fail-safe operation
signal switches to -10 % or +110 % level or holds the last measured value. The alarm
relay de-energises and the red LED on the front panel lights. In addition, each set of
relays can be set to switch on or off as required.

The terminal strip for cable diameters up to 2.5 mm2 is located in a separate connection Terminal strip
compartment. Fig. 2.5 shows the wiring diagram for the Prolevel FMC 661 (Terminal 3 is
reserved for the internal protective ground):
• Remove the plastic cover from the front of the connection compartment
• Press out the pre-stamped cable entries as required
bottom: 5 x Pg 16, 4 x Pg 13.5; rear: 4 x Pg 16.

The power requirements are printed on the nameplate at the right-hand side of the Power
nameplate, see also Section 1.5, "Technical Data".
• If the specifications on the nameplate do not correspond to those of your
power supply, do not connect up - you may damage the instrument!
• Connect the protective ground to the metallic terminal strip provided at the left
— this ensures safe isolation and contact protection.
• Current output, relay outputs, power connection and sensor input are all
electrically isolated from one another.

Only one non-floating device can be connected to the current output. Analogue outputs
• There is no limit to the number of floating devices, other than that imposed by
considerations of the maximum load of 600 Ω.

For the switching capacity of the relays see the technical data in Section 1.5. Relays
• Relays 1a and 1b are normally assigned to channel 1
• Relays 2a and 2b are normally assigned to channel 2.
The assignment can be changed by software, see Section 4.4.

4 Level Measurement
This chapter is concerned with the level measurement functions (operating mode 1 in
V8H0, default) of the Prolevel FMC 661; the principle sections describe:
• Commissioning
• Calibration: — for upright cylindrical tanks
— for horizontal cylindrical tanks
— for tanks with conical outlet
— dry calibration for hydrostatic sensors
• Analogue outputs
• Relays
• Display of measured values
• Locking the parameter matrix.
With the exception of the dry calibration, the configuration procedure is independent of
whether a hydrostatic pressure sensor or capacitance probe is connected to the Prolevel.

4.1 Commissioning
When programming the Prolevel for the first time, reset the module to the factory based
parameters, see Table in back cover. Then enter the probe constants fo and S (∆f) —
measured at 25°C. This ensures that the EC 37 Z/EC 47 Z electronic insert or Deltapilot
can be replaced without the need for recalibration, see Section 6.4.

4.2 Calibration
This section describes three methods of calibration which require the tank or silo to be
filled and the entry of:
• an »empty« level at V0H1 and
• a »full« level at V0H2.
The fourth method can be used to make a »dry« calibration for hydrostatic sensors. For
horizontal cylinders and tanks with conical outlet, users requiring a volume or weight
measurement can activate the linearisation procedure.

Note!
• Prolevel is not bound to specific level units: during calibration it merely assigns the

4) » Dry calibration« A dry calibration for hydrostatic sensors requires:

• the »empty« level at which the measurement should start
ρgh • the maximum height of the liquid column at »full« level and
• the density of the liquid
• the calculated offset and sensitivity of the display.

Caution!
• The sensor constants must have been entered as per Section 4.1.
Caution! • Check the calibration during the first filling of the tank! If your calculations are
incorrect the levels measured will be incorrect also!

de-energises on fault condition. Relays 1a and 1b are set together, as are 2a and 2b.
Five parameters set the limit relays, Table 4.1 summarises their function:

This level measurement mode employs a Liquiphant or capacitance probe on channel

2 to check the validity of the calibration on channel 1. If a descrepancy is found, e.g.
because of a change in dielectric constant for capacitance probes or in density for
hydrostatic sensors, the level display is corrected.

The level calibration is corrected every time the product passes the external limit switch,
i.e. uncovered ⇒ covered or covered ⇒ uncovered.
• If the measured level is less than the installation height of the external limit
switch when this is covered, the value at V8H3 or its volume equivalent is
displayed at V0H0 until the next automatic calibration,
• If the measured level is greater than the installation height of the external limit
switch when this is uncovered, the value at V8H3 or its volume equivalent is
displayed at V0H0 until the next automatic calibration.

Installation hints Install the external limit switch where:

• it is frequently covered and uncovered (increases frequency of correction)
• as near as possible to 100% (ensures greatest accuracy)
- we recommend a height between 70…90%.

Note!
• For Deltapilot S, always use a Liquiphant switch. The use of a capacitance limit
switch causes faulty operation.
Note!
• Product properties may not change during a filling operation, since there is no
means of continuous compensation.
• The external limit switch must operate with all densities (or dielectric constants)
encountered.
• If overspill must be avoided at all costs, a separate system must be installed.
• The automatic correction mode is not recommended for use with bulk solids.

36 Endress+Hauser
Prolevel FMC 661 Chapter 5: Level Measurement with Limit Switch

The standard method can be used for all probes and sensors: Standard method
• The switching delay (0…30 s) determines the delay between the covering or
uncovering and the switching of the Liquiphant (or capacitance probe).
• The installation height is the height above the 0% level expressed in the same
units (%, m, ft, hl, gal, tonnes etc.) as the subsequent calibration step.
The »full« calibration is carried out automatically when the product reaches the external
limit switch. Since the default display sensitivity is used during this time, the display at
V0H0 may be initially incorrect and analogue signal/relays not function as set.

6.1 Fault recognition

Alarms If the Prolevel FMC 661 transmitter recognizes a fault condition where further
measurement is impossible, i.e. an alarm:
• the red alarm LED lights (LED 3) and the alarm relay trips
• the limit value relays assume respond according to the setting in V1H3/V1H8.
• the code for a diagnostic message is to be found in V9H0.
If several faults occur together, the code for the one with the highest priority is displayed.
The others can be called up by pressing the »+« or »-« key when field V9H0 is selected.

If the cause of the fault is rectified, its code is no longer displayed:

• the code for the last fault rectified is retained in V9H1
• this message can be cleared by pressing the »E« key.
If the power fails, all relays de-energise.

Warnings If the Prolevel FMC 661 transmitter has detected a fault condition where further
measurement is possible, i.e. a warning:
• the red alarm LED flashes but the transmitter functions as normal, however,
depending on the fault the measured value may be incorrect
• the alarm relay remains energised
• the appropriate code is to be found in V9H0.

The codes and error messages are listed in Table 6.1 in the order of their priority.

6.3 Simulated operating mode

This function is intended primarily for checking the correct function of the system:
• Enter 6 at V8H0 to activate the simulation mode for level measurement
• Enter 7 at V8H0 to activate the simulation mode for level switching
• Enter 0 at V8H0 to terminate simulation and resume normal measurements.
When the simulation mode is activated, the alarm relay flashes (Warning E613 or E614).
The following simulations are possible:

Matrix Entry Simulated variable

V9H6 (V8H0 = 7) 0 = switch uncovered External limit switch
100 = switch covered for Liquiphant values reversed
V9H7 (V8H0 = 6) Level Level, current, volume
V9H8 (V8H0 = 6) Volume Volume, current
V9H9 (V8H0 = 6) Current Current

The level simulation mode takes the last measured value as default value in V9H7.

6.4 Exchanging transmitters and sensors

FMC 661 transmitter If the Prolevel FMC 661 has to be exchanged, the replacement need not be recalibrated.
Simply enter the settings which you have noted in the Table at the back of the manual.
For versions with Rackbus RS-485 interface, the parameters can be downloaded from
the computer.
• Sequences requiring a particular order must be re-entered in that order
• Any linearisation must be manually reactivated by entering the mode in V2H0.

Capacitance probes For level measurement, provided the sensor constants were entered before calibration,
with EC 37 Z/EC 47 Z it is not necessary to recalibrate the instrument when the electronic insert is replaced.
On replacement:
• the zero frequency (or offset) fo and
• sensitivity S
for the range selected (default Range II) must be entered at V3H5 and V3H6 respectively.
Fig. 2.2 shows where the information is to be found on the EC 37 Z and EC 47 Z inserts.
• If a different range is selected, the transmitter must be recalibrated.
• If the constants were not entered a recalibration is necessary.

Procedure
Step Matrix Entry Significance
1 V3H5 e.g. 57.2 Enter zero frequency (offset)
2 - »E« Register entry

3 V3H6 e.g. 0.652 Enter sensitivity

4 - »E« Register entry

EC 17 Z insert If the capacitance probe was used for limit switching on channel 2, a recalibration is
necessary.

Deltapilot S Provided a »dry« calibration was made or the sensor constants were entered before
calibration, it is not necessary to recalibrate the instrument when the electronic insert is
replaced. The measurement can be taken up again as soon as the new constants have
been entered in the matrix.
• If the old sensor constants were not entered, the system must be recalibrated.

The new sensor constants are found in table 2.2., p. 13.

• fo is the zero frequency (or offset)
— the zero frequency may also be read from V0H8 when the probe is
unpressurised. This value gives slightly better accuracy, since it accounts for
the orientation of the probe.
• ∆f is the sensitivity

Liquiphant No recalibration is necessary if the Liquiphant is exchanged.
