Basic safety instructions Designated use The Waterpilot FMX21 is a hydrostatic pressure sensor for measuring the level of fresh water, wastewater and salt water. The temperature is measured simultaneously in the case of sensor versions with a Pt100 resistance thermometer. An optional temperature head transmitter converts the Pt100 signal to a 4 to 20 mA signal with superimposed digital communication protocol HART 6.0.

The Commubox FXA195 connects intrinsically safe transmitters with the HART protocol to a computer' s USB port. This allows remote operation of the transmitter using Endress+Hauser' s FieldCare operating program. Power is supplied to the Commubox through the USB port. The Commubox is also suitable for connection to intrinsically safe circuits.

Connecting external temperature sensor/temperature head transmitter for density compensation The Waterpilot FMX21 can correct measured errors that result from fluctuations in the density of the water caused by temperature. Users can choose from the following options: Use the internally measured sensor temperature of the FMX21 The internally measured sensor temperature is calculated in the Waterpilot FMX21 for density compensation.
Page 21
Use an external temperature signal which is transmitted to the FMX21 via HART burst mode The Waterpilot FMX21 is available with an optional Pt100 temperature sensor. In this case, the signal of the Pt100 is analyzed using a HART-compliant (at least HART 5.0) temperature transmitter that supports burst mode.
