    D e s i g n a t e d u s e The Micropilot M FMR 240 is a compact radar level transmitter for the continuous, contactless measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries. The device can also be freely mounted outside closed metal vessels because of its operating frequency of about 26 GHz and a maximum radiated pulsed energy of 1mW (average power output 1 µW).
