  • Page 3: Safety Instructions

    Micropilot M FMR230 PROFIBUS PA Safety instructions Safety instructions Designated use The Micropilot M is a compact radar level transmitter for the continuous, contactless measurement of liquids, pastes and sludge. The device can also be freely mounted outside closed metal vessels because of its operating frequency of about 6 GHz and a maximum radiated pulsed energy of 1 mW (average power output 1μW).

    Mounting Micropilot M FMR230 PROFIBUS PA Installation 2.3.1 Mounting kit In addition to the tool needed for flange mounting, you will require the following tool: • 4 mm (0.16 in) Allen wrench for turning the housing or mounting an FAR10 antenna extension.
  • Page 7 Micropilot M FMR230 PROFIBUS PA Mounting 2.3.4 Installation in stilling well For installations in a stilling well, follow the engineering hints (→ ä 9) and note the following points: • Marker is aligned toward slots. • Measurements can be performed through an open ball valve without any problems.
  • Page 8 Mounting Micropilot M FMR230 PROFIBUS PA 2.3.6 Orientation • Recommended distance (1) wall – outer edge of nozzle: ~1/6 of tank diameter. Nevertheless the device should not be installed closer than 30 cm (11.8 in) to the tankwall. • Not in the centre (3), interference can cause signal loss.
  • Page 9 Micropilot M FMR230 PROFIBUS PA Mounting 2.3.7 Engineering hints Tank installations • Avoid any installations (1), like limit switches, temperature sensors, etc., inside the signal beam (→ ä 10). • Symmetrical installations (2), i.e. vacuum rings, heating coils, baffles, etc., can also interfere with the measurement.
  • Page 10 Mounting Micropilot M FMR230 PROFIBUS PA 2.3.8 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 11 Micropilot M FMR230 PROFIBUS PA Mounting • In case of media with a low dielectric constant (groups A and B), the tank bottom can be visible through the medium at low levels (low height C). Reduced accuracy has to be expected in this range.
