Micropilot FMR43 Radar Sensor for Hygienic Processes

Brand: Endress+Hauser AG
Does not ship to OH, United States

The Micropilot FMR43 is a free space radar sensor for continuous non-contact level measurement and part of the Compact Line. The product line is especially developed for hygienic applications and combines a compact design with full performance.

The device ensures reliable measurement even under rapidly changing or turbulent process conditions. In addition to the proven 80 GHz technology, a 180 GHz frequency option ensures the use even in particularly small process tanks.

Micropilot FMR43 is for free space applications up to 15 m (49 ft) and offers an additional 180 GHz sensor option for small vessels.

The Micropilot FMR43 is suitable for a wide range of hygienic applications:

  • Mixing applications of viscous and low conductive media
  • Filling applications of viscous media
  • Storage of low conductive fluids
  • Level measurement in tanks with changing media density
Features
  • Outstanding ease of use due to easy setup and operation with guided wizards
  • Improved process and product safety through configuration integrity - a checksum algorithm (CRC) ensures that safety relevant parameters remain unchanged
  • Increased productivity thanks to traceable and documented on-demand verification including the radar's accuracy without process interruption with Heartbeat Technology
  • Documented compliance through certified hygienic design as well as proven material conformity and traceability
  • Flexibility in scale - installation in tight space conditions thanks to compact sensor design and small process connections as well as use in large tanks and silos
