Technical information for the Endress+Hauser Micropilot M series level radar, covering application, measuring principle, system design, and ordering details…
The Endress+Hauser Micropilot M is a downward-looking, non-contact level measurement system suitable for liquids, pastes, slurries, and solids. It utilizes the time-of-flight method with radar impulses to measure distance from the process connection to the product surface. The system is designed for continuous monitoring and is unaffected by changing media, temperature, or gas blankets.
The document provides comprehensive technical details for the FMR230, FMR231, FMR240, FMR244, and FMR245 models. It covers equipment architecture, input/output signals (including 4 to 20 mA with HART, PROFIBUS PA, and FOUNDATION Fieldbus), performance characteristics, installation instructions for various tank configurations, and mechanical construction specifications.
