7 Safety Instructions: General
•The device is intended to be used in explosive atmospheres as defined in the scope
of IEC 60079-0 or equivalent national standards. If no potentially explosive atmospheres
are present or if additional protective measures have been taken:
The device may be operated according to the manufacturer's specifications.
•Staff must meet the following conditions for mounting, electrical installation,
commissioning and maintenance of the device:
•Be suitably qualified for their role and the tasks they perform
•Be trained in explosion protection
•Be familiar with national regulations
•Install the device according to the manufacturer's instructions and national regulations.
•Do not operate the device outside the specified electrical, thermal and mechanical
parameters.
•Only use the device in media to which the wetted materials have sufficient durability.
•Avoid electrostatic charging:
•Of plastic surfaces (e. g. housing, sensor element, special varnishing,
attached additional plates, ...)
•Of isolated capacities (e. g. isolated metallic plates)
•Refer to the temperature tables for the relationship between the permitted ambient
temperature for the sensor and/or transmitter, depending on the range of application
and the temperature class.
•Modifications to the device can affect the explosion protection and must be carried
out by staff authorized to perform such work by Pepperl+Fuchs.
•The probe is made of stainless steel or high corrosion-resistant alloy of thickness ≥ 1 mm.
•Only open the device under one of the following conditions: 17 minutes have elapsed
since the power supply was switched off.
8 Safety Instructions: Special Conditions
•Limitations of the maximum ambient temperature at the electronics housing
may be required dependent on device configuration, process temperatures
and temperature classification.
•Details of limitations: See section 11 for temperature tables.
•To avoid electrostatic charging: Do not rub surfaces with a dry cloth.
•In the event of additional or alternative special varnishing on the enclosure or other metal
parts or for adhesive plates:
•Observe the danger of electrostatic charging and discharge.
•Do not install in the vicinity of processes ( 0.5 m) generating strong electrostatic
charges.
Basic specification, feature Housing, option AX
•Covers with glass window only permitted for the following ambient temperatures:
-50 °C Tamb +70 °C
•Avoid sparks caused by impact and friction.

Device group IIC
Device type LVL-M2C
•Sensors coated with non-conductive material can be used if avoiding electrostatic
charging (e. g. through friction, cleaning, maintenance, strong medium flow).
•Marked with warning sign: Avoid electrostatic charging.
9 Safety Instructions: Installation
Figure 1
•Before operation:
•Screw in the cover all the way.
•Tighten the securing clamp on the cover.
•In potentially explosive atmospheres:
•Do not disconnect the electrical connection of the power supply circuit
when energized.
•Do not open the connection compartment cover and the electronics compartment
cover when energized.
•Perform the following to achieve the degree of protection IP66/68:
•Screw the cover tight.
•Mount the cable entry correctly.
•Observe the maximum process conditions according to the manufacturer's
documentation.
•At high medium temperatures, note flange pressure load capacity as a factor
of temperature.

•Install the device to exclude any mechanical damage or friction during the application.
Pay particular attention to flow conditions and tank fittings.
•Support extension tube of the device if a dynamic load is expected.
•Only use certified cable entries suitable for the application. Observe national regulations
and standards. Accordingly, the connection terminal does not include any ignition
sources.
•Seal unused entry glands with approved sealing plugs that correspond to the type
of protection. The plastic transport sealing plug does not meet this requirement and must
therefore be replaced during installation.
•The built-in metallic sealing plug is examined and approved for explosion protection type
Ex d with the device.
•When operating the transmitter housing at an ambient temperature under -20 °C,
use appropriate cables and cable entries permitted for this application.
•When connecting through a conduit entry approved for this purpose,
mount the associated sealing unit directly at the housing.
Basic specification, feature Housing, option A3
Flameproof equipment with G threaded entry holes is not intended for new installations
but only for replacement of equipment in existing installations. Application of this equipment
shall comply with the local installation requirements.
Accessory high pressure sliding sleeve
The high pressure sliding sleeve can be used for a continuous setting of the switch point and is
suited for zone division if mounted properly (see manual).
Potential equalization
Integrate the device into the local potential equalization.
10 Safety Instructions: Ex d Joints
•If required or if in doubt: ask manufacturer for specifications.
•Flameproof joints are not intended to be repaired.
