Field of application
Micropilot FMR56 is particularly designed for light-duty process conditions as they occur in silos or bins for solids. Micropilot free space radar is used for continuous,
non-contact level measurement in powdery to granular bulk solids. Dust, filling noises, temperature layers and gas layers do not affect the measurement.
PP-plated horn antenna can be easily aligned to the surface of the solids by the mounting bracket or a turnable seal.
Process connections: Mounting bracket or slip-on flange
Temperature: -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F)
Pressure: -1 to +3bar (-14.5 to +43.5psi)
Maximum measuring range: 30m (98ft)
K-band: 26GHz
International explosion protection certificates, SIL, 5-point linearity protocol
Benefits
Reliable measurement even for changing product and process conditions
HistoROM data management concept for fast and easy commissioning, maintenance and diagnostics
Highest reliability even in the presence of obstructions in the vessel due to new Multi-Echo Tracking evaluation
Hardware and software developed according to IEC 61508 up to SIL3 (in homogeneous redundancy)
Heartbeat Technology for a cost-effective and safe plant operation during the entire life cycle
Seamless integration into control or asset management systems and intuitive, menu-guided operation concept (on-site or via the control system)
World's easiest proof test concept for SIL and WHG saves time and cost
