  • Page 17 Micropilot M FMR250 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Installation 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 18 Installation Micropilot M FMR250 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Measuring conditions • The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the bottom. Particularly with conical outlets the level cannot be detected below this point. The maximum measuring range can be increased in such applications by using a top target positioner (→ ä 16).
  • Page 19 Micropilot M FMR250 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Installation 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 70 m (230 ft).
