Intended use 2.2.1 Application and media 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.
It meets general safety standards and legal requirements. It also complies with the EC directives listed in the device-specific EC Declaration of Conformity. Endress+Hauser confirms this by affixing the CE mark to the device.
The ceramic measuring cell is a dry measuring cell i.e. the pressure acts directly on the robust, ceramic process isolating diaphragm of the Waterpilot FMX21. Changes in air pressure are guided via a pressure compensation tube through the extension cable to the rear of the ceramic process isolating diaphragm and are compensated for.
All of the information on the measuring device is displayed along with an overview of the scope of technical documentation provided. • Enter the serial number on the nameplate into the Endress+Hauser Operations app or scan the 2-D matrix code on the nameplate with the Endress+Hauser Operations app 4.2.1...
