2.3.6 Engineering hints
Tank installations
• Avoid any installations (1), like limit
switches, temperature sensors, etc., inside
the signal beam (→ ä 10).
• Symmetrical installations (2), i.e. vacuum
rings, heating coils, baffles, etc., can also
interfere with the measurement.

a
Optimization options
• Antenna size: the bigger the antenna, the
smaller the beam angle, the less
3
interference echoes.
• Mapping: the measurement can be
optimized by means of electronic
suppression of interference echoes.
• Antenna alignment: refer to
2
BA249F/00/EN.
• Stilling well: a stilling well can always be
used to avoid interference.
• Metallic screens (3) mounted at a slope
spread the radar signals and can,
therefore, reduce interference echoes.
• For mounting in solid applications use the
variable flange seal to align the device
towards the product surface (see
TI345F/00/EN, "Accessories").

2.3.8 Measuring conditions in liquids
• In case of boiling surfaces, bubbling or tendency for foaming, use FMR230 or FMR231.
Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam
surface. Measurement is possible under certain conditions.
• In case of heavy steam development or condensate the max. measuring range of FMR240
may decrease depending on density, temperature and composition of the steam
È use FMR230 or FMR231.
10 Endress+Hauser
Page 11
Micropilot M FMR244 PROFIBUS PA Mounting
• For the measurement of absorbing gases such as ammonia NH3 or some fluorocarbons1),
please use FMR230 in a stilling well.
• The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the tank bottom. Particularly with dish
bottoms or conical outlets the level cannot be detected below this point.
• In case of media with a low dielectric constant (groups A and B), the tank bottom can be
visible through the medium at low levels (low height C). Reduced accuracy has to be expected
in this range. If this is not acceptable, we recommend positioning the zero point at a distance
C (see Fig.) above the tank bottom in these applications.
• In principle it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna with FMR230/231/240.
However, due to considerations regarding corrosion and build-up, the end of the measuring
range should not be chosen any closer than A (see Fig.) to the tip of the antenna.
For FMR244/245, the end of measuring range should not be chosen closer than A (see Fig.)
to the tip of the antenna, especially if there is development of condensate.
• The smallest possible measuring range B depends on the antenna version (see Fig.).
• The tank diameter should be greater than D (see Fig.), the tank height at least H (see Fig.).

2.3.9 Measuring conditions in solids
• The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the bottom. Particularly with conical outlets
the level cannot be detected below this point.
The maximum measuring range can be increased in such applications by using a top target
positioner (see TI345F/00/EN).
• In case of media with a low dielectric constant (groups A and B), the bottom can be visible
through the medium at low levels. In order to guarantee the required accuracy in these cases,
it is recommended to position the zero-point at a distance C above the bottom (see Fig.).
• In principle it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna with the Micropilot M.
However, due to considerations regarding abrasion and build-up and depending on the
orientation of the product surface (angel of repose), the end of the measuring range should be
at a distance of A (see Fig). If required, and if some conditions (high DC value, flat angle of
repose) are met, shorter distances can be achieved.

to DIN EN 60079-14 or IEC 60060-1 (impulse current test 8/20 μs, Î = 10 kA, 10 pulses).
Connect the metallic housing of the Micropilot M to the tank wall or screen directly with an
electrically conductive lead to ensure reliable potential matching.
Connection with M12 plug
The Micropilot M PROFIBUS PA sensor version with M12 plug is supplied ready wired and need
only be connected to the bus by means of a suitable cord set.
3.7 Screening/potential matching
• You achieve optimum screening against disturbances if the screening is connected on both
sides (in the cabinet and on the device). If you have to reckon with potential equalisation currents in the plant, only earth screening on one side, preferably at the transmitter.
• When using in hazardous areas, you must observe the applicable regulations and the separate
Ex documentation.
3.8 Degree of protection
• with closed housing: IP65, NEMA4X (higher degree of protection e. g. IP68 on request)
• with open housing: IP20, NEMA1 (also ingress protection of the display)
• antenna: IP68 (NEMA6P)
Caution!
"
Degree of protection IP68 NEMA 6P applies for M12 PROFIBUS PA plugs only when the
PROFIBUS cable is plugged in.
3.9 Post-connection check
After wiring the measuring instrument, perform the following checks:
• Is the terminal allocation correct (→ ä 16)?
• Is the cable gland tight?
• Is the M12 plug screwed tight?
• Is the housing cover screwed tight?
• If auxiliary power is available:
Is the instrument ready for operation and does the liquid crystal display show any value?

4Operation
4.1 General structure of the operating menu
The operating menu is made up of two levels:
• Function groups (00, 01, 03, …, 0C, 0D):
The individual operating options of the instrument are split up roughly into different function
groups. The function groups that are available include, e.g.: "basic setup", "safety
settings.", "output", "display", etc.
• Functions (001, 002, 003, …, 0D8, 0D9):
Each function group consists of one or more functions. The functions perform the actual
operation or parameterisation of the instrument. Numerical values can be entered here and
parameters can be selected and saved. The available functions of the "basic setup" (00)
function group include, e.g.: "tank shape" (002), "medium property" (003), "process
cond." (004), "empty calibr." (005), etc.
If, for example, the application of the instrument is to be changed, carry out the following procedure:
1. Select the "basic setup" (00) function group.
2. Select the "tank shape" (002) function (where the existing tank shape is selected).
4.1.1 Identifying the functions
For simple orientation within the function menus, for each function a position is shown on the
display.
L00-FMRxxxxx-07-00-00-en-005
The first two digits identify the function group:
• basic setup 00
• safety settings 01
• linearisation 04

The basic setup is sufficient for successful commissioning in most applications. Complex
measuring operations necessitate additional functions that the user can use to customise the
Micropilot as necessary to suit his specific requirements. The functions available to do this are
described in detail in the BA291F/00/EN.

• Select the functions as described in BA249F/00/EN.
• Some functions can only be used depending on the parameterisation of the instrument. For
example, the pipe diameter of a stilling well can only be entered if "stilling well" was
selected beforehand in the "tank shape" (002) function.
• Certain functions (e.g. starting an interference echo mapping (053)) prompt you to confirm
your data entries. Press
now started.
• If you do not press a key during a configurable time period (
(09)), an automatic return is made to the home position (measured value display).
Note!
• The instrument continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current measured
values are output via the signal outputs in the normal way.
• If the envelope curve mode is active on the display, the measured values are updated in a
slower cycle time. Thus, it is advisable to leave the envelope curve mode after the measuring
point has been optimised.
• If the power supply fails, all preset and parameterised values remain safely stored in the
EEPROM.
