Level monitoring and extreme process safety with Endress+Hauser Micropilot

21 August 2009

For accurate and reliable level monitoring in solids and liquids applications, Endress+Hausers' Micropilot M FMR245 radar is the ideal solution.

Perfect for continuous non-contact level measurement, Micropilot delivers the highest measurement integrity even in the most demanding applications with dust, build-up formation and aggressive or corrosive environments. Now with its improved design, signal performance is enhanced so its application scope extends even further.

Extreme safety in your process
The key to the new Micropilots' success is its innovative antenna design. In addition to the process seal, the device offers the option of a glass gastight feedthrough between the antenna and the electronics, which ensures that no toxic or aggressive media penetrates the electronics compartment, guaranteeing optimum safety in the most extreme conditions. This innovation makes it the first 26Hz level radar with this feature, offering the ideal solution for hazardous applications. Moreover, the improved antenna design enables applications up to 200˚C.

Increased process reliability
In addition, its one piece solid PTFE antenna allows no hollow spaces or joints, thus preventing condensation within the antenna, significantly improving process reliability and increasing its service life under extremely corrosive conditions.

Offering a SIL2 rating for added process safety, the 2-wire technology allows easy implementation into existing systems and makes Micropilot M FMR245 a cost-effective alternative solution to differential pressure and displacers. Moreover, it is HART and PROFIBUS PA compatible and with a menu-driven alphanumeric display, it offers easy on-site operation.
