Micropilot FMR43 Radar Sensor for Hygienic Processes
Brand: Endress+Hauser AGThe Micropilot FMR43 is a free space radar sensor for continuous non-contact level measurement and part of the Compact Line. The product line is especially developed for hygienic applications and combines a compact design with full performance.
The device ensures reliable measurement even under rapidly changing or turbulent process conditions. In addition to the proven 80 GHz technology, a 180 GHz frequency option ensures the use even in particularly small process tanks.
Micropilot FMR43 is for free space applications up to 15 m (49 ft) and offers an additional 180 GHz sensor option for small vessels.
The Micropilot FMR43 is suitable for a wide range of hygienic applications:
- Mixing applications of viscous and low conductive media
- Filling applications of viscous media
- Storage of low conductive fluids
- Level measurement in tanks with changing media density
- Outstanding ease of use due to easy setup and operation with guided wizards
- Improved process and product safety through configuration integrity - a checksum algorithm (CRC) ensures that safety relevant parameters remain unchanged
- Increased productivity thanks to traceable and documented on-demand verification including the radar's accuracy without process interruption with Heartbeat Technology
- Documented compliance through certified hygienic design as well as proven material conformity and traceability
- Flexibility in scale - installation in tight space conditions thanks to compact sensor design and small process connections as well as use in large tanks and silos
