Safety instructions Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA Safety instructions Designated use The Micropilot M is a compact radar level transmitter for the continuous, contactless measurement of liquids, pastes, sludge and solids. 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 1 mW (average power output 1 μW).
Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA Safety instructions Notes on safety conventions and symbols In order to highlight safety-relevant or alternative operating procedures in the manual, the following conventions have been used, each indicated by a corresponding symbol in the margin.

Mounting Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA 3.3.2 Engineering hints Orientation • Recommended distance (1) wall – 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 tankwall.
Page 15
Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA Mounting Measurement in a plastic tank If the outer wall of the tank is made of a non-conductive material (e. g. GRP), microwaves can also be reflected off interfering installations outside the signal beam (e. g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), …).
Page 16
Mounting Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA Beam angle 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 (3dB-width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.
Page 17
Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA Mounting Measuring conditions in liquids Note! • In case of boiling surfaces, bubbling or tendency for foaming, use FMR230 or FMR231. Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam surface.
Page 18
Mounting Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA Measuring conditions in solids • The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the bottom. Particularly with conical outlets the level cannot be detected below this point. The maximum measuring range can be increased in such applications by using a top target positioner (see Technical Information TI345F/00/EN).
Page 19
Micropilot M FMR240 PROFIBUS PA Mounting Measuring range in liquids The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the mounting location and eventual interference reflections. The maximum configurable range is: • 40 m (131 ft) for basic version •...
