Function and system design

Measuring principle A piezoelectric drive excites the tuning fork of Soliphant M to its resonance frequency. If medium
covers the tuning fork, the fork's vibrating amplitude changes (the vibration is damped). Soliphant M's
electronics compare the actual amplitude with a target value and indicate whether the tuning fork is
vibrating freely or whether it is covered by medium.

Cable specifications
Within the indicated standards and guidelines to interference immunity (see also "Electromagnetic
compatibility",  ä 14) a normal instrument cable is sufficient. If higher interference levels are pre-
sent, a shielded cable must be used.

Immunity to temperature In non-Ex applications the connecting cables must withstand the ambient temperature +5 K.

Input
Measured variable Level (according to the mounting location and the overall length)

Measuring range • FTM50: overall length see,  ä 19

• FTM52: overall length 750 to 20000 mm (29.5 to 787 in)
The measuring range of Soliphant M depends on the medium, mounting location and fork length.
The detection range is located within the length of the fork.
Distinction between the forks:
• For light media:
Standard fork with a fork length of 155 mm (6.1 in) (bulk weight of the medium  10 g/l)
• For confined installation conditions, high lateral load or increased buildup:
Short fork with a fork length of 100 mm (3.94 in) (bulk weight of the medium  50 g/l)

Input signal • Probes covered => little to no vibrating amplitude

• Probes not covered large vibrating amplitude

Measuring frequency • Standard fork: approx. 140 Hz (in air)

• Short fork: approx. 350 Hz (in air)

MAX = maximum safety:

The output switches safety-oriented when the fork is covered (signal on alarm)
For use with overfill prevention for example.
MIN = minimum safety:
The output switches safety-oriented when the fork is uncovered (signal on alarm)
For use with dry running protection for example.

Switching delay 0.5 s when the sensor is covered.

Version 150 °C (302 °F): 1.5 s when the sensor is uncovered (1.0 s for short fork)
Version 230/280 °C (446/536 °F): 2 s when the sensor is uncovered (1.0 s for short fork)

RCM-Tick marking The supplied product or measuring system meets the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media
Authority) requirements for network integrity, interoperability, performance characteristics as well
as health and safety regulations. Here, especially the regulatory arrangements for electromagnetic
compatibility are met. The products are labelled with the RCM- Tick marking on the name plate.

Pressure Equipment Directive Pressure instruments with permitted pressure ≤ 200 bar (2 900 psi)
2014/68/EU (PED)
Pressure instruments with permitted pressure ≤ 200 bar (2 900 psi) Pressure instruments with a
flange and threaded boss that do not have a pressure-bearing housing do not fall within the scope of
the Pressure Equipment Directive, irrespective of the maximum permitted pressure.

Reason:
According to Article 2, point 5 of EU Directive 2014/68/EU, pressure accessories are defined as
"devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing housings".
If a pressure instrument does not have a pressure-bearing housing (no identifiable pressure chamber
of its own), there is no pressure accessory present within the meaning of the Directive.

CRN approval CRN-approved devices are fitted with a separate plate bearing the registration number
No.: 0F10907:5C ADD1.

EAC conformity The measuring system meets the legal requirements of the applicable EAC guidelines. These are
listed in the corresponding EAC Declaration of Conformity together with the standards applied.
Endress+Hauser confirms successful testing of the device by affixing to it the EAC mark.

RoHS The measuring system complies with the substance restrictions of the EU Directive on the restriction
of the use of certain hazardous substances 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2).

ASME B 31.3 Design and materials in accordance with ASME B31.3. The welding seams are through-penetration
welded and comply with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IX and EN ISO 15614-1.

Process sealing as per ANSI/ North American practice for the installation of process seals.
ISA 12.27.01 Soliphant M instruments are designed by Endress+Hauser according to ANSI/ISA 12.27.01 as single
seal devices with annunciation, allowing the user to waive the use and save the cost of installing exter-
nal secondary process seals in the conduit as required by the process sealing sections of ANSI/NFPA
70 (NEC) and CSA 22.1 (CEC). The instruments comply with the North American installation practice
and provide a very safe and cost-saving installation for pressurized applications with hazardous fluids.
