Micropilot FMR50 Function and system design Measuring principle The Micropilot is a "downward-looking" measuring system, operating based on the time-of-flight method (ToF). It measures the distance from the reference point (process connection) to the product surface. Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by the radar system.

Micropilot FMR50 Output The Micropilot is commissioned by entering an empty distance "E" (=zero), a full distance "F" (=span) and application parameters. The application parameters are automatically adapt into the instrument to the process conditions. For models with a current output, the factory adjustment for zero point "E" and span "F" is 4 mA and 20 mA. For digital outputs and the display module, the factory adjustment for zero point "E" and span "F" is 0 % and 100 %. A linearization with max. 32 points, based on a table entered either manually or semi-automatically, can be activated locally...

Measured variable The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface. Subject to the empty distance entered "E" the level is calculated. Alternatively, the level can be converted into other variables (volume, mass) by means of linearization (32 Measuring range Maximum measuring range Usable measuring range The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the mounting location and eventual interference reflections. The following tables describe the groups of media as well as the achievable measuring range as a...
