Description

Application

The Micropilot FMR56 is specifically designed for light-duty applications in silos or bins containing solid materials. It provides continuous, non-contact level measurement for powdery to granular bulk solids. The sensor is unaffected by dust, filling noises, temperature stratification, or gas layers.

The PP-plated horn antenna can be easily aligned to the solid surface using a mounting bracket or a turnable seal.

  • Process Connections: Mounting bracket or slip-on flange
  • Temperature Range: -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F)
  • Pressure Range: -1 to +3 bar (-14.5 to +43.5 psi)
  • Maximum Measuring Range: 30 meters (98 feet)
  • Frequency Band: K-band, 26 GHz

This device comes with international explosion protection certifications, SIL compliance, and a 5-point linearity protocol for enhanced safety and accuracy.

 


Benefits

  • Consistent Performance: Provides reliable measurements even under varying product and process conditions.
  • Efficient Data Management: The HistoROM data management concept allows for quick and straightforward commissioning, maintenance, and diagnostics.
  • High Accuracy: Advanced Multi-Echo Tracking technology ensures dependable measurements, even in the presence of obstacles within the vessel.
  • Safety Compliance: Hardware and software are developed in accordance with IEC 61508 standards, supporting up to SIL3 in homogeneous redundancy.
  • Cost-effective Operation: Heartbeat Technology enables continuous monitoring, ensuring safe and economical operation throughout the sensor's lifecycle.
  • Easy Integration and Operation: Seamless integration with control or asset management systems, along with an intuitive, menu-guided interface for on-site or remote operation.
  • Simplified Testing: The world's easiest proof test concept for SIL and WHG compliance, saving time and reducing costs.
