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 R to the product surface. Radar
impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by the radar
system.

A0028409

 1 Setup parameters of the Micropilot

E Empty calibration (= zero)
F Full calibration (= span)
D Measured distance
L Level (L = E - D)
Q Flow rate at measuring weirs or channels (calculated from the level using linearization)
R Reference point

Input

The reflected radar impulses are received by the antenna and transmitted into the electronics. A
microprocessor evaluates the signal and identifies the level echo caused by the reflection of the radar
impulse at the product surface. This clear signal detection system benefits from over 30 years'
experience with time-of-flight procedures.

The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the impulse:

D = c · t/2,

where c is the speed of light.

Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:

L = E – D

Output

The Micropilot is adjusted by entering the empty distance E (= zero point) and the full distance F (=
span).

• Current output: 4 to 20 mA

• Digital output (SmartBlue): 0 to 5 m (0 to 16 ft) or 0 to 8 m (0 to 26.25 ft) in combination with
accessory "flooding protection tube"

Endress+Hauser 7

Input

Micropilot FMR10

Measured variable

The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface.

Caution!

• The sensor cables are not designed as supporting cables. Do not use as a suspension wire.

• In the free-field, a vertically downward orientation must be ensured at all times

Nozzle installation

The antenna should be just out of the nozzle for optimum measurement. The interior of the nozzle
must be smooth and may not contain any edges or welded joints. The edge of the nozzle should be
rounded if possible. The maximum nozzle length L depends on the nozzle diameter D. Please note
the specified limits for the diameter and length of the nozzle.

 7 Tank installation position

• If possible install the sensor so that its lower edge projects into the vessel.

• Recommended distance A wall - nozzle outer edge: ~ 1/6 of the tank diameter D. However, the
device must not under any circumstances be mounted closer than 15 cm (5.91 in) to the tank wall.

• Do not mount the sensor in the center of the tank.

• Avoid measurements through the filling curtain.

• Avoid equipment such as limit switches, temperature sensors, baffles, heating coils etc.

• Several devices can be operated in a single tank without impacting on each other.

• No signals are analyzed within the Blocking distance (BD). It can therefore be used to suppress
interference signals (e.g. the effects of condensate) close to the antenna.
An automatic Blocking distance of at least 0.1 m (0.33 ft) is configured as factory setting.
However, this can be overwritten manually (0 m (0 ft) is also permitted).
Automatic calculation:
Blocking distance = Empty calibration - Full calibration - 0.2 m (0.656 ft).
Each time a new entry is made in the Empty calibration parameter orFull calibration parameter,
the Blocking distance parameter is recalculated automatically using this formula.
If the result of the calculation is a value <0.1 m (0.33 ft), the Blocking distance of0.1 m (0.33 ft)
continues to be used.

Measurement in plastic vessels

If the outer wall of the vessel is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GFR) microwaves can also be
reflected off interfering installations outside of the vessel (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2),
grates (3), ...). Therefore there should be no such interfering installations in the signal beam. For
more information, please contact Endress+Hauser.

Pressure equipment with
allowable pressure
≤ 200 bar (2 900 psi)

EN 302729-1/2 radio standard

Pressure instruments with a flange and threaded boss that do not have a pressurized housing do not
fall within the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive, irrespective of the maximum allowable
pressure.

Reasons:

According to Article 2, point 5 of EU Directive 2014/68/EU, pressure accessories are defined as
"devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing housings".

If a pressure instrument does not have a pressure-bearing housing (no identifiable pressure chamber
of its own), there is no pressure accessory present within the meaning of the Directive.

Note:

A partial examination shall be performed for pressure instruments that are part of safety equipment
for the protection of a pipe or vessel from exceeding allowable limits (equipment with safety
function in accordance with Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, Article 2, point 4).
