Level Measurement & Control


Endress+Hauser radar steps into new dimensions

November 2016 Level Measurement & Control

The new Micropilot FMR10 and FMR20 from Endress+Hauser offer perfect application fit devices for level measurement in the water and wastewater industry and utilities in all industries. Time saving and innovative commissioning, operation and maintenance via an app using Bluetooth wireless technology provide an excellent price to performance ratio due to unique radar chip design.

Micropilot FMR10 and FMR20 belong to the first non-contact radars with Bluetooth commissioning, operation and maintenance app. Signal curves can be shown via app on any Bluetooth enabled smartphone or tablet (iOS, Android). This increases plant availability due to fast access to maintenance information, and guarantees cost savings because of the usage of existing non-proprietary tool infrastructure. Furthermore, the devices are the most compact radars in their class thanks to unique radar chip design with integrated radio frequency components and direct emission transceiver – invented by Endress+Hauser. With the compact design, the devices fit in limited space applications, which mean an extended application scope for the radar technology.

Features and benefits

The full PVDF body of the device resists harsh outdoor conditions and guarantees a long sensor lifetime. Sealed wiring and fully potted electronics eliminate water ingress and allow operation under severe environmental conditions, which means enhanced availability. Also in hazardous areas or places difficult to reach, safe and secure wireless remote access via Bluetooth offers many advantages. There is no additional tool and adapter or wiring effort required for commissioning – it is as simple as connect, set, ready. Communication is secure due to encrypted data transmission and password protection to prevent unauthorised access or manipulation http://bit.ly/20UWoxM
