Basic safety instructions Micropilot FMR50 HART Endress+Hauser confirms successful testing of the device by affixing to it the CE mark. 2.5.2 EAC conformity The measuring system meets the legal requirements of the applicable EAC guidelines. These are listed in the corresponding EAC Declaration of Conformity together with the standards applied.
• Do the nameplate data match the ordering information on the delivery note? • Is the DVD with the operating tool present? If required (see nameplate): Are the Safety Instructions (XA) present? If one of these conditions is not satisfied, contact your Endress+Hauser Sales Center. Endress+Hauser...
): All information about the measuring device is displayed. • Enter the serial number from the nameplates into the Endress+Hauser Operations App or scan the 2-D matrix code (QR code) on the nameplate with the Endress+Hauser Operations App: all the information for the measuring device is displayed.
Micropilot FMR50 HART Storage, Transport Storage, Transport Storage conditions • Permitted storage temperature: –40 to +80 °C (–40 to +176 °F) • Use the original packaging. Transport product to the measuring point NOTICE Housing or antenna horn may be damaged or break away.
Installation Micropilot FMR50 HART Installation Installation conditions 6.1.1 Mounting position • Recommended distance A from wall to outer edge of nozzle: ~ 1/6 of tank diameter. Nevertheless the device should not be installed closer than 15 cm (5.91 in) to the tank wall.

Micropilot FMR50 HART Installation 6.1.2 Vessel installations Avoid any installations (point level switches, temperature sensors, braces, vacuum rings, heating coils, baffles etc.) inside the signal beam. Take into account the beam angle → 18. A0018944 Endress+Hauser...
Page 16
If the outer wall of the vessel is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GRP), microwaves can also be reflected off interfering installations outside the vessel (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), ...). Therefore, there should be no such interfering installations in the signal beam. Please contact Endress+Hauser for further information. Endress+Hauser...

Micropilot FMR50 HART Installation A0017123 6.1.5 Optimization options • Antenna size The bigger the antenna, the smaller the beam angle α and the fewer interference echoes → 18. • Mapping The measurement can be optimized by means of electronic suppression of interference echoes.
Page 18
Installation Micropilot FMR50 HART 6.1.6 Beam angle A0016891 3 Relationship between beam angle α, distance D and beamwidth diameter W The beam angle is defined as the angle α where the energy density of the radar waves reaches half the value of the maximum energy density (3-dB-width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.
• The tank height should be at least H (see table). Affected compounds are e.g. R134a, R227, Dymel 152a. Dielectric constants of important media commonly used in various industries are summarized in the DC manual (CP01076F) and in the Endress+Hauser "DC Values App" (available for Android and iOS).

Micropilot FMR50 HART Installation ° ° ° A0019434 Depending on the device version the marking may be a circle or two short parallel lines. Nozzle mounting For optimum measurement, the tip of the antenna should extend below the nozzle. This is achieved by a nozzle height up to H = 60 mm (2.36 in).
Page 22
• The nozzle end must be smooth and free of burrs. If possible its edge should be rounded. • An interference echo suppression must be performed. • Please contact Endress+Hauser for applications with higher nozzles than those indicated in the table. Threaded connection •...
Page 23
Micropilot FMR50 HART Installation • Align the antenna vertically to the product surface. Optionally, a variable flange seal, which is available as an accessory, can be used for alignment (see Technical Information BA01048F, chapter "Accessories"). • A marking at the feedthrough enables alignment of the antenna. This marking must be aligned towards the tank wall as well as possible.

Installation Micropilot FMR50 HART • Select horn antenna as big as possible. For intermedaite sizes (e.g. 180 mm (7 in)) select next larger antenna and adapt it mechanically (for horn antennas) • At any transition (i.e. when using a ball valve or mending pipe segments), no gap may be left exceeding 1 mm (0.04 in).
Micropilot FMR50 HART Installation 6.5.1 Recommendations for the bypass pipe • Metal (no plastic or enamel coating). • Constant diameter. • Select horn antenna as big as possible. For intermediate sizes (e.g. 95 mm (3.5 in)) select next larger antenna and adapt it mechanically (for horn antennas).
