3.3.2 Engineering hints

Orientation

• Recommended distance (1) wall – outer edge of nozzle: ~1/6 of tank diameter.

Nevertheless the device should not be installed closer than 30 cm (12“) to the tankwall.

• Not in the centre (3), interference can cause signal loss.

• Not above the fill stream (4).

• It is recommended to use a weather protection cover (2) in order to protect the transmitter from direct sun or rain. Assembly and disassembly is simply done by means of a tension clamp (→ Chap. 8 on Page 73).

L00-FMR2xxxx-17-00-00-xx-006

Tank installations

• Avoid any installations (1), like limit switches, temperature sensors, etc., inside the signal beam (refer to beam angle see "Beam angle" on Page 16).

• Symmetrical installations (2), i.e. vacuum rings, heating coils, baffles, etc., can also interfere with the measurement.

Optimization options

• Antenna size: the bigger the antenna, the smaller the beam angle, the less interference echoes.

• Mapping: the measurement can be optimized by means of electronic suppression of interference echoes.

• Antenna alignment: refer to "optimum mounting position"

• 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.

Measurement in a plastic tank

If the outer wall of the tank is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GRP), microwaves can also be reflected off interfering installations outside the signal beam (e.g. metallic pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), …). Therefore, there should be no such interfering installations in the signal beam.

Beam angle

The beam angle is defined as the angle a where the energy density of the radar waves reaches half the value of the maximum energy density (3dB-width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations. Beam diameter W as function of antenna type (beam angle α) and measuring distance D:

Measuring conditions

L00-FMR2xxxx-17-00-00-de-017

• 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.).

Note!

• 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 → use FMR230 or FMR231.

• For the measurement of absorbing gases such as ammonia NH

or some fluorocarbons

1))

please use FMR230 in a stilling well.

1) Affected compounds are e.g. R134a, R227, Dymel 152a.

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 maximum configurable range is:

• 20 m (65 ft) for Micropilot M FMR23x,

• 20 m (65 ft) for Micropilot M FMR24x, – 40 m (131 ft) for Micropilot M FMR24x with additional option D (E), see "ordering

information",

– 70 M (229 ft) for Micropilot M FMR24x with additional option F (G), see "ordering

information",

• 70 m (229 ft) for Micropilot M FMR250 (further informations see TI390F/00/en).

The following tables describe the groups of media as well as the achievable measuring range as a function of application and media group. If the dielectric constant of a medium is unknown, it is recommended to assume media group B to ensure a reliable measurement.

4.3 Recommended connection

For maximum EMC protection please observe the following points:

• The external ground terminal on the transmitter must be connected to ground.

• The continuity of the cable screening between tapping points must be ensured.

• If potential equalisation is present between the individual grounding points, ground the screening at each cable end or connect it to the device housing (as short as possible).

• If there are large differences in potential between grounding points, the grounding should run via a capacitor that is suitable for high frequency use (e.g. ceramic 10 nF/250 V&).

Caution! Applications, which are subject to the explosion prevention, permit only under special conditions the repeated grounding of the protective screen , see to EN 60 079-14..

4.4 Degree of protection

• with closed housing: IP65, NEMA4X

• with open housing: IP20, NEMA1 (also ingress protection of the display)

• antenna: IP68 (NEMA6P)

4.5 Post-connection check

After wiring the measuring instrument, perform the following checks:

• Is the terminal allocation correct (→ Page 23 and Page 25)?

• Is the cable gland tight?

• Is the M12 connector 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?

5.1.1 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).

5.1.2 Identifying the functions

For simple orientation within the function menus (see Page 98 ff.), for each function a position is shown on the display.
