Installation Micropilot FMR50 FOUNDATION Fieldbus 6.1.2 Vessel installations Avoid any installations (point level switches, temperature sensors, braces, vacuum rings, heating coils, baffles etc.) inside the signal beam. Take into account the beam angle → 19. A0018944 Endress+Hauser...
Page 17
If the outer wall of the vessel is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GRP), microwaves can also be reflected off interfering installations outside the vessel (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), ...). Therefore, there should be no such interfering installations in the signal beam. Please contact Endress+Hauser for further information. Endress+Hauser...
