Micropilot FMR10B Maximum measuring range The maximum measuring range is 10 m (33 ft). Usable measuring range The usable measuring range depends on the medium' s reflective properties, the installation position and any possible interference echoes. In principle, measurement is possible up to the tip of the antenna.
