About this document Document function This document contains all the technical data for the device and provides an overview of the device versions that can be ordered. This symbol contains information on procedures and other facts which do not result in personal injury. Symbols for certain types of information

Measuring principle The Micropilot is a measuring system, operating based on the time-of-flight method (ToF). It measures the distance from the reference point to the product surface. The radar signals based on the "Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave" (FMCW) principle are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by the radar system. Process ■ The Measurement can be carried out directly through the tank -> This is only possible for electrically non-conductive tank walls No contact is made with the process medium. Measured variable Measured process variables:...

Medium Media: solids and liquids The usable measuring range depends on the reflection properties of the medium, the installation position and possible interference reflections. Measurement of the following media with absorbing gas phase For example the following media ■ Methyl ethyl ketone ■ VCM (vinyl chloride monomer) To measure absorbing gases, either use a guided radar, measuring devices with another measuring frequency or another measuring principle. If measurements must be performed in one of these media, please contact Endress+Hauser. The operating frequency is for measurement purposes...

Output signal Digital: UART (8N1 inverted) Baud rate: 230.4 kBd data bits: 8 Parity: none Polarity: inverted (idle low) Protocol-specific data The USR30 has the following read and write parameters: Reference operating conditions Maximum measured error Pressure = 960 mbar abs. (14 psi) ±100 mbar (±1.45 psi) Humidity = 60 % ± 5 % Reflector: metal plate with a diameter > 1m (40in) No major interference reflections inside the signal beam Frequency mode 1: default setting of 77 to 81 GHz The accuracy is the sum of the non-linearity, non-repeatability and hysteresis. Non-repeatability is already included...

Influence of ambient temperature Environment Ambient temperature Storage temperature Relative humidity Mechanical construction Dimensions Sensor unit NOTICE The fixing screws of the circuit board must not be removed! Sensor unit with antenna: 68 g • Radar antenna: Plastic PBT • Coupling adapter: PPS GF40 (metallized)

Supply voltage The radar system requires 2 supply voltages: Digital interface: 1.7 to 3.6 VDC (It is possible to cover both supply voltages with one voltage source). ~1000mW peak for <10ms during measurement Electrical connection and pin The sensor is connected electrically via the attached plug. Dimensions of the electrical connector plug

Further details are described in the Operating Manual Radar (see Supplementary documentation ^ 1 14) For work on and with the device: NOTICEDanger of damaging the device Static sensitive devices. ► Handle only at static safe work stations! Danger of damaging the device The radar antenna is secured against falling with a protective cap. If the protective cap is removed, the antenna may fall down and be damaged. Beam angle Positioning Mount the measuring device in a horizontal position so that it is parallel to the tank ceiling. Otherwise, undesired reflections from the surroundings can cause interference...

Maximum nozzle height and distance to wall "Frequency mode" parameter The frequency mode parameter is used to define country or region-specific settings for the radar Changing the frequency mode parameter is described in the Operating Manual Radar. ■ Mode 1 (Default): Continent Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand (77 to 81 GHz) The performance characteristics of the device may vary on the mode set. The specified properties refer to device as supplied from factory (Mode 1).

Integration into an overall It is not allowed to modify the sensor module in any way or form. The sensor must be used with system the antenna provided. ■ Simple mechanical/electrical integration into an end device ■ Configuration and control via widely used digital interface (UART) with defined command set (see Customer Manual) ■ Startup time: <250 ms until first measurement can be performed ■ Measurement cycle time: <100 ms ■ The sensor must be installed inside a closed housing. ■ A minimum distance of >2 mm to any mechanical part has to be left around and above the PCB as to not interfere with...

RoHS The Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) and the Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863 (RoHS 3). Compliance Radio Directive ETSI EN 302 729 The module complies with the requirements of ETSI EN 302 729 V2.1.1 (2016) for a level probing radar. If the module is integrated into an end product in accordance with the integration documentation, this standard can be used to assess the conformity of the end device in accordance with the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU. That is exclusively valid for the listed products in delivery status. Please...
