Safety instructions Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Safety instructions Designated use The Micropilot M is a compact radar level transmitter for the continuous, contactless measurement of liquids, pastes and sludge. The device can also be freely mounted outside closed metal vessels because of its operating frequency of about 6 GHz and a maximum radiated pulsed energy of 1 mW (average power output 1 μW).
Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Safety instructions Notes on safety conventions and symbols In order to highlight safety-relevant or alternative operating procedures in the manual, the following conventions have been used, each indicated by a corresponding symbol in the margin.

Mounting Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus 3.3.2 Engineering hints Orientation • Recommended distance (1) wall – outer edge of nozzle: ~1/6 of tank diameter. Nevertheless the device should not be installed closer than 30 cm (11.8 in) to the tankwall.
Page 15
Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Mounting Measurement in a plastic tank If the outer wall of the tank is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GRP), microwaves can also be reflected off interfering installations outside the signal beam (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), …).
Page 16
Mounting Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Measuring conditions Note! • In case of boiling surfaces, bubbling or tendency for foaming, use FMR230 or FMR231. Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam surface. Measurement is possible under certain conditions.
Page 17
Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Mounting Measuring range The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the mounting location and eventual interference reflections. The maximum configurable range is: • 20 m (66 ft) The following tables describe the groups of media as well as the achievable measuring range as a function of application and media group.

Appendix Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus 11.6 Display Block 11.6.1 Operation The display block contains the parameters required to parametrise the display module (which is contained in the remote display and operating unit FHX40). These parameters can also be addressed by using the display module.
Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Appendix 11.7 Analog input block The analog input block conditons the signal output by the Sensor block andoutputs signal to the PCL or other function blocks. L00-FMR2xxxx-05-00-00-en-008 11.7.1 Operation The resource block is opened by a click on the resource line.

Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Appendix 11.7.5 Output response parameters Parameter Description LOW_CUT Not relevant to level measurement! Determines a threshold for square root linearization below which the output value is set to zero. PV_FTIME Sets the time constant for the output value.
Appendix Micropilot M FMR230 FOUNDATION Fieldbus 11.7.9 Simulation The SIMULATE parameter allows the Sensor block output value to be simulated, provided simulation has also been enabled at the device DIP switch. The simulation must be enabled, a value and/or status entered and the block must be in AUTO mode. During simulation the Sensor output value is substituted by the simulated value.
