Technical Information
Micropilot M FMR250
Level-Radar
Continuous and non-contact level measurement in solids.
Cost-effective 4 to 20 mA 2-wire technology.
Application
The Micropilot M performs continuous, non-contact
level measurement especially in powdery to granular
bulk solids. Additionally it can be used in liquids as well.
Dust, filling noises, temperature layers and gas
stratification do not affect measurement.
Typical areas of application are:
• Level measurement in tall silos with extremely dusty
bulk solids e.g. cement, raw meal or animal feed.
• Applications with high temperature requirements up
to 200 °C (392 °F), e.g. clinker or fly ash.
• Applications with highly abrasive bulk solids e.g.
ferrite.
The FMR250 with DN 80 or DN 100 horn antenna for
all standard applications, particularly also for small
nozzle sizes.
The FMR250 with DN 200 or DN 250 parabolic antenna
offers high beam focussing of 4° or 3.5° and is thus ideal
for applications with many installations.
TI00390F/00/EN/14.12

Your benefits
• 2-wire technology, low price:
2-wire technology reduces wiring costs and allows
easy implementation into existing systems.
• Non-contact measurement:
Measurement is almost independent from product
properties.
• Easy on-site operation via menu-driven alphanumeric
display.
• Easy commissioning, documentation and diagnostics
via Endress+Hauser operating software.
• Integrated air purge connection for extremely dusty
conditions or media tending to create build-up.
• Max. measuring range 70 m (230 ft).
• Suitable for process temperatures up to 200 °C
(392 °F).
• HART or PROFIBUS PA respectively FOUNDATION
Fieldbus protocol.
• Optional remote display and operation.
• Used for level monitoring (MIN, MAX) up to SIL 2 as
per IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.
