Level Measurement & Control


Micropilot M FMR245 from Endress+Hauser

September 2011 Level Measurement & Control

Reliable monitoring for extreme process safety.

For accurate and reliable level monitoring in solids and liquids applications, Endress+Hauser offers its Micropilot M FMR245 radar as the ideal solution. Designed for continuous non-contact level measurement, it delivers the highest measurement integrity in demanding applications where dust, build-up and aggressive or corrosive environments are a problem. Now, through improved design, signal performance has been enhanced to extend the application scope even further.

Extreme process safety

The key to the Micropilot FMR245’s success is its innovative antenna design. In addition to the process seal, the device offers the option of a glass gastight feed through between the antenna and the electronics. This ensures no toxic or aggressive media penetrates the electronics compartment, guaranteeing optimum safety in the most extreme conditions. This innovation makes the 26 GHz level radar an ideal solution for hazardous applications with the new antenna design enabling applications up to 200°C.

Increased process reliability

The one-piece solid PTFE antenna allows no hollow spaces or joints, thus preventing condensation within the antenna for significantly improved process reliability and increased its service life, even under corrosive conditions.

Offering a SIL2 rating for added process safety, the 2-wire technology allows easy implementation into existing systems and makes Micropilot M FMR245 a cost-effective alternative solution to differential pressure and displacers. It is HART and Profibus PA compatible with a menu-driven alphanumeric display for easy on-site operation.
