Micropilot FMR10 Measuring principle The Micropilot is a "downward-looking" measuring system, operating based on the time-of-flight method (ToF). It measures the distance from the reference point R to the product surface. Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by the radar system.
Micropilot FMR10 Input Measured variable The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface. The level is calculated based on E, the empty distance entered. Measuring range Maximum measuring range Device Maximum measuring range FMR10 5 m (16 ft) FMR10 with accessory "flooding protection tube" 8 m (26.25 ft) Requirements of the installation • • • • • • Tank height > 1.5 m (5 ft) Open channel minimum width 0.5 m (1.
Micropilot FMR10 Output Output signal 4 to 20 mA An 4 to 20 mA interface is used for measured value output and to power to the device. Digital output Bluetooth® wireless technology The device has a Bluetooth® wireless technology interface and can be operated and configured via this interface using the SmartBlue app. • The range under reference conditions is 25 m (82 ft) • Incorrect operation by unauthorized persons is prevented by means of encrypted communication and password encryption.

Micropilot FMR10 Orientation BD A D A0028410 7 Tank installation position • If possible install the sensor so that its lower edge projects into the vessel. • Recommended distance A wall - nozzle outer edge: ~ 1/6 of the tank diameter D. However, the device must not under any circumstances be mounted closer than 15 cm (5.91 in) to the tank wall. • Do not mount the sensor in the center of the tank. • Avoid measurements through the filling curtain.
Micropilot FMR10 Alignment 90 90 ° ° • Align the antenna vertically to the product surface. • Align the eyelet with the mounting eye as well as possible towards the tank wall.
Micropilot FMR10 Beam angle D _ W = 2 × D × tan α 2 α W A0033201 9 Relationship between beam angle α, distance D and beam diameter W The beam angle is defined as the angle α, at which the power density of the radar waves reaches half the value of the maximum power density (3dB width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations. Beam diameter W as a function of beam angle α and distance D. FMR10 Antenna size 40 mm (1.5 in) 40 mm (1.
Micropilot FMR10 Measurement in plastic vessels If the outer wall of the vessel is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GFR) microwaves can also be reflected off interfering installations outside of the vessel (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), ...). Therefore there should be no such interfering installations in the signal beam. For more information, please contact Endress+Hauser.
