1 Introduction
ApplicationThe Micropilot FMR 231 is a loop-powered transmitter. It is used to for continuous
non-contact level measurement of liquids, pastes and sludges. It is suitable for use in:
storage tanks, buffer tanks and stilling wells
with few internal fittings and where the product surface is generally calm. Changes of product, temperature gradients, inert gas blankets or vapours do not influence the measurement.
VersionsThe various Micropilot FMR 231 versions result from the combinations between antenna
type, inactive length and the process connection. Table 1.1 summarises them. The product structure is described in Chapter 9.

1.1 Measurement principle
Micropilot is a "downward looking" time-of-flight system which measures the distance from the probe mounting (top of the tank) to the surface of the process medium.
Short microwave pulses are beamed by the antenna towards the product, reflected by its surface and detected by the same arrangement.
An inactive length at the start of the rod antenna delays the launch of the pulse for a distance of 100 mm or 250 mm, ensuring that condensation or build-up in the mounting nozzle does not affect the measurement.
Input The reflected microwaves are detected by the antenna and passed on to the electronics.
Here a microprocessor evaluates the signal and identifies the echo produced by the reflection of the beam at the product surface. The algorithms used for signal processing are based on many years of experience in time-of-flight measurement.
The distance D to the product surface isproportional to the time-of-flight of the microwave pulse t:
D = c • t/2 where c is the speed of propagation
Since the empty distance E is known to the system, it is a simple matter to calculate the level L:
L = E – D
The datum point for "E" is the bottom face of the process connection.
Micropilot has an echo suppression function which can be activated by the user. This prevents interference echoes, e.g. caused by fittings within the beam, from being interpreted as the level echo.
Output Micropilot is calibrated by entering the empty distance E, the full distance F and an
application parameter, which automatically tunes the instrument to the measuring conditions.
For versions with current output, the points "E" and "F" correspond to 4 mA and 20 mA, for digital outputs and the display to 0% and 100% level.

A linearisation function, based on a manually or semi-automatically entered table, can be activated locally at the display unit or via the foreign system interface. This allows measurement in customer units andprovides a linear outputcurrent for spherical vessels, horizontal cylinders and tanks with conical outlet.
AccuracyThe accuracy of Micropilot FMR 231 is dependent upon the set measuring range and
material being measured, see Technical Data. Under reference conditions it is capable of measuring to an accuracy of ±15 mm up to a measuring range of 10 m and ±0.15% of the range end-value of measuring ranges from 10 m to 20 m..
Measuring rangeThe measuring range depends upon the conditions in the tank and the product to be
measured. Table 1.2 describes the product classes, Table 1.3 the measuring range as a function of the application and measuring conditions.
In order to ensure the highest accuracy for Class B, we recommend that
the empty distance "E" should be 30 cm above the tank bottom.
Class A products can be measured in bypass pipes using the FMR 230V horn antenna, see operating manual BA 197F.

2.1 Mounting in a tank
General notes
The microwaves should arrive unhindered at the product surface.
Every object within the beam gives an echo. The nearer the object, the stronger the echo.
Strong echoes which cannot be avoided by selecting a different mounting position interfere with the measurement and must be suppressed during calibration.

Operation with the VU 330
If the Micropilot is equipped with an operating and display module VU 330, then it is operated via a 10 x 10 operating matrix.
Each row is allocated to a particular function,
Each field sets or displays one parameter.
On-site operation with the operating and display module andcommunication both access the same matrix. This is to be found in Chapter 10. If the HART handheld DXR 275 is used, the transmitter is operated by a menu which is derived from this matrix.
The table below summarises the key functions of the operating and display module VU 330.

4.2 Remote operation
The Micropilot can be remotely operated via the communication interface 4...20 mA with HART.
For HART, the operation depends on the measuring system.
For computer operation via Commubox FXA 191 or FXN 672 and gateway, the operating matrix is used, see page 17.
For operation via handheld, a menu is used.
HART handheld DXR 275 The operation of the HART handheld DXR 275 is described in the manual supplied with
it.
The Group Select menu calls the matrix. The rows are the menu headers. Parameters are set in the roll-down menus.
Keys , navigate up and down the menu.
Keys , change to the previous or to the following menu.
Parameters are entered by the corresponding keys. – SEND registers the entries
Keys F1 - F4 call the displayed functions, e.g. HOME.
In the procedures described in this manual, the DXR 275 menu lines appear in the "significance" column. Chapter 10 contains a listing ofmenu positions with corresponding matrix fields.
Note!
The HART device description Version 2.0 for Micropilot FMR 231 must be loaded in the DXR 275 before the device can be operated by the handheld. Updates of the device descriptions can be obtained from Endress+Hauser.

Graphical support mode The graphical support mode is called via the Device menu. Thus offers an alternative
method of configuring the Micropilot. Various pictures are offered when the Graphics menu is clicked. These correspond to the procedures described in Chapter 6.
Status: software version, measuring point tag, diagnosis code and measured value are displayed.
Commissioning: reset, measuring point tag, etc.
Basic calibration for tank: procedure for basic calibration in tanks.
Basic calibration for stilling wells: procedure for basic calibration in stilling wells.
Basic calibration Step 2: procedure for false echo suppression.
Technical units: settings for linear relationships.
Safety parameters: configuration of the analogue output for normal and failure operation.
Service: parameters required for service call.
A linearisation can be called from the matrix window.
Off-line operation Commuwin also allows the Micropilot to be configured off-line. After all parameters have
been entered, the file generated can be loaded into the connected Micropilot. This can now be commissioned by simply running the echo suppression procedure.
Up-/Download This function allows the parameters of an already configured Micropilot FMR 231 to be
loaded and stored in Commuwin II. If several Micropilots (with the same software version) have to be configured in the same way, the parameters can now be downloaded into the devices. In this case as well, an echo suppression must be made when the devices are commissioned.
It is not possible to up and download parameters between Micropilots with different software versions.

5 On-site calibration without display VU 330
Test pathAn on-site calibration without the operating and display module VU 330 requiresa defined
level echo. In order to avoid the danger of acquiring an interference echo from a fitting as the zero point, it is recommended that the calibration be made outside the tank along a suitable test path.
The length of the test path must correspond to the required empty distance "E".
A suitable reflector, e.g. a flat wall, must be available.
The Micropilot is pointed at the wall about 1.5 m above the ground.
Calibration and echo suppression
The datum point for the empty distance "E" and the distance "D" is always the lower face of the process connection.

6.3 Linearisation
Linearisation mode A linearisation describes the relationship between level and the tank volume or product
weight and allows a measurement in technical units, e.g. metres, hectolitre, tonnes etc. Afterwards, the measured value is displayed in the selected units in V0H0 and the analogue output is proportional to the volume or weight. The table below lists the linearisation modes.
Warnings During entry of the table, an error message is generated and the device indicates an
alarm. After the curve has been entered, it is checked for plausibility. The following warnings and alarms can appear.
De-activation A linearisation table can be deactivated by setting V2H0 = 0 (m/ft) or 5 (linear). It is not
deleted and can be re-activated at any time by setting V2H0 = 1.
The setting V2H0 = 4 deletes the entire table. The linearisation mode "linear" (V2H5 = 5) is automatically selected.
Note!
The values in V2H5, V0H5 and V0H6 must be changed as necessary.

V3H5 Window suppression Defines a distance measured from the datum point in
which no echoes are measured. It is used for suppressing strong echoes in the immediate vicinity of the antenna, see Chapter 7.7. The default setting extends to the tip of the antenna. A smaller distance cannot be entered.
V8H3 Delay on lost echo If the echo is lost, alarm E641 is output. V8H3 determines
the time which elapses between the loss of the echo and the response of the Micropilot. Default = 30 s.
V8H5 In safety distance
0: Warning 1: Alarm 2: Alarm, self-holding 3: Reset 2
A safety zone extends 10 cm in front of the window suppressiion zone. This is to warn, that if the level continues to rise, the measurement will become invalid. If product enters the safety zone, the Micropilot responds according to the setting in V8H5: 0: Warning E643 is output: the device continues to
measure
1: Alarm E643 is output: measurement is suspended until
the product leaves the safety zone.
2: Alarm E643 is output: measurement is suspended until
the alarm is acknowledged.
3: Acknowledges the alarm in case 2..
V8H6 Plausibility
0: off 1: on
The plausibility check is automatically set after the entry of the application parameter A:
off: application parameters 0 - 3
on: application parameters 4 - 6 When the plausibility check is activated, the current level is checked against the previous level, in order to establish whether the value is plausible .If this is not the case, error code E643 is output and the Micropilot reacts according to the setting in V8H5 – see also Chapter 7.8.

7 Trouble-Shooting
When the instructions in the manual have been followed correctly, the system must now function. Should this not be the case, the Micropilot provides a number of possibilities for analysing and correcting faults.
7.1 Self-monitoring
The self-monitoring system differentiates between alarms and warnings.
On an alarm
The fault indicator appears at the operating and display module VU 330.
The analogue output responds according to the settings in V0H7, V8H3 and V8H5, see table below.
The bargraph follows the analogue output.
An error code is displayed at matrix position V9H0 to help locate the fault. V9H1 indicates the previous error code.
On a warning
The fault indicator appears at the operating and display module VU 330.
The Micropilot continues to measure.
An error code is displayed at matrix position V9H0 to help locate the fault. V9H1 indicates the previous error code.
Analogue output
The analogue output responds according to the setting in V0H7. If the Micropilot has been configured with the device keys (no VU 330, DXR 275 or Commuwin II), then the analogue output goes to MAX (= 22 mA) on a fault.

7.4 Application parameter
Application parameterThe application parameter that is entered during calibration sets the various elements of
the signal evaluation such that the Micropilot is ideally matched to the application. Parameters are set in both the operating and the service level.
Table 7.3 summarises the parameters available.
HeightThe height is the principle element in determining the type of tank, the speed of level
changes and the conditions at the product surface. It also affects the mounting position, which in turn influences on the generation of multiple echoes when the product surface is calm..
First echo factorThe first echo factor directly affects the signal evaluation and ensures that the level echo
is correctly identified in the presence of multiple echoes. The factor can be set in V3H4 (0: Minimum, 1 = Medium, 2 = Maximum). A central mounting position in the tank, a domed tank top and a calm product surface all favour the production of multiple echoes.
Tank bottom recognitionThe tank bottom recognition function ensures reliable measurement in the following
cases:
The tank has a dished bottom. If microwaves are reflected from the tank bottom, e.g. when the tank is completely empty, then the curvature causes them to be deflected towards the tank wall. This results in an increase in the time-of-flight, and hence of the apparent distance to the level echo. A negative level would be displayed. The tank bottom recognition function recognises this state of affairs and displays the level zero.
The liquid has a low dielectric constant (Class A and B) and the surface is calm. Under these conditions a portion of the microwaves penetrate the surface. When the tank is almost empty, it is possible that these microwaves are reflected from its bottom to produce a strong, somewhat delayed echo. A negative level would be displayed. The tank bottom recognition function recognises this state of affairs and displays the true level.

7.5 Echo quality
The echo quality of the measurement is displayed in dB in V3H2 and via the bargraph in V0H8 and V0H9. In this case, each segment represents 5 dB. For devices without communication (operating and display module VU 330, DXR 275 or Commuwin II), the echo quality cannot be checked.
For reliable measurement the echo quality should be:
at least 10 dB or 3 segments,
better is 20 dB or 4 segments.
The probability that the echo will be lost when measuring conditions change (E641), e.g. waves or large measuring ranges, increases with decreasing quality.
Better quality can be attained byexact alignment (turning the process connection) during installation or a change of mounting position.
Aligning the Micropilot An alignment point is to be found on the flange or threaded connection of the Micropilot.
During installation, this should be aligned as follows:
for tanks: towards the tank wall,
for stilling wells: towards the slots.
After the Micropilot has been commissioned, the echo quality can be used to determine the signal strength. If necessary, this can be maximised by optimising the alignment. On the other hand, optimum alignment using echo quality can also be used minimise the effect of an interference echo. The advantage here is that a subsequent echo suppression map will use a lower threshold, causing an overall increase in signal strength. Proceed as follows:
Warning
Danger of injury when re-aligning the Micropilot. Before the process connection is unscrewed or loosened, check that the tank is not pressurised and does not contain substances which are hazardous to health.
1) Empty tank as far as possible.
2) Check whether the distance displayed in V0H8 corresponds to the distance to the product surface: – If yes: the echo is a level echo. The echo quality must be maximised. – If no: the echo is a false echo. The echo quality must be minimised.
3) Unscrew flange or loosen threaded connection by half a turn.
4) Turn flange by one hole or tighten threaded connection by an eighth of a turn. Note the echo quality.
5) Turn stepwise through 360°, noting the echo quality at each turn.
6) Determine the optimal alignment from the noted echo qualities: – level echo: maximum value – interference echo: minimum value.
7) Mount flange or threaded connection in this position. If necessary renew seal.
8) Record echo suppression map, see Chapter 6.3.

7.6 False echo suppression
Evaluation modeThe factory setting is evaluation mode 0. It is strongly recommended that a customer
echo suppression map is recorded, see Chapter 6.1 and 6.2.
False echo suppressionThe customer has three possibilities of suppressing interference echoes.
Mode 2
When the tank is empty, the distance to the product surface displayed in V0H8 corresponds to the true level. Echoes are suppressed up to the proposed distance D in V3H1.
D = (V0H8 – 0.8 m)
Corresponds to Procedure A, Chapter
6.3.
Mode 3
When the tank is empty, the distance to the product surface displayed in V0H8 does not correspond to the true level. By confirming the proposed value in V3H1,the false echoes are successively suppressed until the true level is displayed.
D = (V0H8 + 0.3 m)
Corresponds to Procedure B, Chapter 6.3.
Mode 4
The exact distance to the product surface is known. Echoes up to the distance D entered in V3H1 are suppressed.

7.7 Window suppression
In the case of strong echoes from fittings or welds near to the antenna, all echoes within a window B below the antenna tip can be suppressed
The datum point for the window B is the lower face of the process connection. The factory setting is to the tip of the antenna.
All echoes within the window B are suppressed.
Since in certain circumstances the level echo could be suppressed (and there is no guarantee that no other echo is present), a 10 cm safety zone extends in front of the window.
The customer can set the response of the Micropilot to the case where product enters this zone ("in safety distance").
The full distance "F" may extend only to the start of the window.

7.8 Plausibility
The plausibility check assesses thehistory of the measured value. It ensures that overspill cannot happen without a previous alarm or warning. If the signal is lost in close proximity to the antenna, i.e. in the critical zone where overspill might occur, the last valid measured value is subject to a plausibility check. This ensures that a false echo from a lower level cannot be evaluated as the level signal. Micropilotchecks every new signal for plausibility and outputs error E643 in the event of a non-plausible level value.
The critical zone starts 35 cm below the 100% level (F) and extends to the antenna tip.
The plausibility check is automatically activated when one of the application parameters 4, 5 or 6 is set in V0H3 during calibration. It can also be activated manually in V8H6.
Error E643 can be set to act as a warning, alarm or self-holding alarm in V8H5, see Chapter 6.5.
The plausibility check functions only when a false echo suppression has been performed, see Chapter 6.1 or 6.2.

8 Maintenance and Repair
8.1 Maintenance
MaintenanceCheck the condition of the transmitter during regular inspections. If necessary, free the
antenna from build-up. When cleaning the antenna, handle with care.
ExchangeAfter the exchange of a complete Micropilot or the electronic module, the noted
parameters can be entered (e.g. download from computer) into transmitters with communication interface or operating and display module. Measurements can then proceed without the need for calibration.
If necessary, re-activate linearisation in V2H0
If necessary, record a new echo suppression map, see Chapter 6.3.
A new echo suppression map must be made if the antenna is exchanged.
8.2 Repairs
Should the transmitter need to be repaired by Endress+Hauser, please send it to your nearest service station with a note containing the following information:
An exact description of the application for which it was used
The chemical and physical properties of the product measured
A short description of the fault.
If appropriate the error numbers in V9H0 and V9H1.
Warning!
Special precautions must be observed when sending the transmitters for repair:
Remove all traces of product.
This is particularly important if the product can impair health, i.e. is corrosive,
poisonous, carcinogenic, radioactive etc..
If the last traces of dangerous products cannot be removed, e.g. product has penetrated into fissures or diffused into plastic parts, we kindly ask you not to send the transmitter for repair.

8.3 Spare parts
Installation instructions are packed with the spare part.
Modification nameplate When spare parts which are part of the product structure (Chapter 9.3/9.4) are ordered,
it must be checked whether the type designation on the nameplate is still valid, e.g. for
an antenna assembly
an electronic module
an HF module
an operating and display module VU 330
a housing lid with window.
If the type designation changes, a modification nameplate must be purchased. The specifications of the new transmitter must then be transferred to the modification nameplate, which must then be fastened to the transmitter. See instructions packed with nameplate.
Housing F12/T12 In order that the correct nameplate can be delivered, the complete order code must be
specified when a spare housing is ordered, e.g.:
FMR231E-AAGGJ1A1A
The customer must ensure that the nameplate is correctly filled in.
Caution!
It is not possible to transform a standard device into a device suitable for hazardous areas by exchanging the parts.
For FCC approved devices it is forbidden to make modifications to the device, unless they are expressly allowed in the operating instructions. A failure to comply with these instructions could void the user's authority to operate the device.
