Loop-powered Level Radar - Micropilot M

Endress+Hauser offers Loop-powered level radar Micropilot M. It obeys the requirement of simple commissioning and operation in using modern radar technology in industrial measurement instrumentation. The large, four-line, plain text display allows menu-driven on-site operation. The user is guided [step by step] using complete basic calibration. It offers the radar-signal as an envelope curve also on the instrument display. This gives information concerning the reliability of the instrument. A graphic operating tool [ToF-tool] free of charge allows simple commissioning, optimising, diagnosis and the documentation of measuring points. Apart from the known frequency of approx. 6GHz, a second frequency of approx. 26GHz is introduced in Micropilot M. The higher frequency enables use of small 1-1/2inch horn antenna, particularly in small nozzles and smaller tanks. The narrow beam angle prevents interfering reflections by baffles in tanks. Beside that, an accuracy of +/-3mm is achieved. The new instrument line of Micropilot M in loop-powered technology includes three versions:

- FMR 230 [horn antenna] approx. 6GHz;
- FMR 231 [rod antenna] approx. 6GHz; and
- FMR 240 [small horn antenna] approx. 26GHz

They communicate by mean of HART protocol respectively, the connection to PROFIBUS-PA or Foundation Fieldbus. The assignment of the three instruments has been clearly determined.
