Radar measurement Time-of-Flight Micropilot FMR50

Basic model for level liquid applications

Endress+Hauser/Radar water level sensor FMR50-AAGCCABMRGF(FMR50-2RL5/0) /radar level transmitter


Micropilot FMR50 is the best choice in simple reservoir and storage applications as well as in utility processes. The FMR50 free space radar is used for continuous, non-contact level measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries. The measurement is not affected by changing media, temperature changes, gas blankets or vapors.

Benefits

  • Reliable non-contact measurement even for changing product and process conditions

  • HistoROM data management concept for fast and easy commissioning, maintenance and diagnostics

  • Highest reliability even in the presence of obstructions in the vessel due to new Multi-Echo Tracking evaluation

  • Hardware and software developed according to IEC 61508 up to SIL3 (in homogeneous redundancy)

  • Seamless integration into control or asset management systems

  • Intuitive, menu-guided operation concept (on-site or via the control system)

  • World's easiest proof test concept for SIL and WHG saves time and cost

 

Field of application

Encapsulated PVDF or PP-plated horn antenna.

  • Process connections: Thread, mounting bracket or slip-on flange

  • Temperature: -40 to +130°C (-40 to +266°F)

  • Pressure: -1 to +3bar (-14.5 to +43.5psi)

  • Maximum measuring range: 30m (98ft), 40m (131ft) for enhanced dynamics

  • Accuracy: ±2mm

  • K-band: 26GHz

  • International explosion protection certificates, overfill prevention WHG, SIL, 5-point linearity protocol
