Input
The reflected radar impulses are received by the antenna and transmitted into the electronics. A
microprocessor evaluates the signal and identifies the level echo caused by the reflection of the radar
impulse at the product surface. The unambiguous signal identification is accomplished by the
PulseMaster® eXact software together with the Multi-echo tracking algorithms, based on many
years of experience with time-of-flight technology.
The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the impulse:
D = c · t/2,
with c being the speed of light.
Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:
L=E–D
The reference point R of the measurement is located at the process connection. For details see the
dimensional drawing:
FMR50: → 51
The Micropilot is equipped with functions to suppress interference echoes. The user can activate
these functions. Together with the multi-echo tracking algorithms they ensure that interference
echoes (i.e. from edges and weld seams) are not interpreted as level echo.
6 Endress+Hauser
Micropilot FMR50
Output
The Micropilot is commissioned by entering an empty distance "E" (=zero), a full distance "F" (=span)
and application parameters which automatically adapt the instrument to the process conditions. For
models with a current output, the factory adjustment for zero point "E" and span "F" is 4 mA and 20
mA. For digital outputs and the display module, the factory adjustment for zero point "E" and span "F"
is 0 % and 100 %.
A linearization with max. 32 points, based on a table entered either manually or semi-automatically,
can be activated locally or remotely. This function provides a measurement in engineering units and
a linear output signal for spheres, horizontal cylindrical tanks and vessels with conical outlet.
Endress+Hauser 7
Micropilot FMR50
Input
Measured variable The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface.
The level is calculated from this distance, taking into account the empty distance "E" entered by the
user.
If required, the level can be converted into other variables (volume, mass) by means of a linearization
(up to 32 points).

LCAUTION
To ensure electrical safety:
‣ Do not disconnect the protective connection (6).
‣ Disconnect the supply voltage before disconnecting the protective earth (7).
Connect protective earth to the internal ground terminal (7) before connecting the supply
voltage. If necessary, connect the potential matching line to the external ground terminal (11).
In order to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): Do not only ground the device via the
protective earth conductor of the supply cable. Instead, the functional grounding must also be
connected to the process connection (flange or threaded connection) or to the external ground
terminal.
An easily accessible power switch must be installed in the proximity of the device. The power
switch must be marked as a disconnector for the device (IEC/EN61010).

HART
• A normal device cable suffices if only the analog signal is used.
• A shielded cable is recommended if using the HART protocol. Observe grounding concept of the
plant.
• For 4-wire devices: Standard device cable is sufficient for the power line.
PROFIBUS
Use a twisted, screened two-wire cable, preferably cable type A.
For further information on the cable specifications, see Operating Instructions BA00034S
"Guidelines for planning and commissioning PROFIBUS DP/PA", PNO Guideline 2.092
"PROFIBUS PA User and Installation Guideline" and IEC61158-2 (MBP).
FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Endress+Hauser recommends using twisted, shielded two-wire cables.
For further information on the cable specifications, see Operating Instructions BA00013S
"FOUNDATION Fieldbus Overview", FOUNDATION Fieldbus Guideline and IEC 61158-2 (MBP).
Overvoltage protection If the measuring device is used for level measurement in flammable liquids which requires the use of
overvoltage protection according to DIN EN 60079-14, standard for test procedures 60060-1 (10
kA, pulse 8/20 μs), overvoltage protection has to be ensured by an integrated or external
overvoltage protection module.

Optimization options
• Antenna size
The bigger the antenna, the smaller the beam angle α and the fewer interference echoes
→ 35.
• Mapping
The measurement can be optimized by means of electronic suppression of interference echoes.
• Antenna alignment
Take into account the marker on the flange or threaded connection → 37 → 38 .
• Stilling well
A stilling well can be applied to avoid interferences → 41.
• Metallic screens mounted at a slope
They spread the radar signals and can, therefore, reduce interference echoes.

Micropilot FMR50
Measuring conditions • In case of boiling surfaces, bubbling or tendency for foaming use FMR53 or FMR54. Depending
on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam surface.
Measurement is possible under certain conditions. For FMR50, FMR51 and FMR52, the additional
option "Advanced dynamics" is recommended in these cases (feature 540: "Application Package",
option EM).
• In case of heavy steam development or condensate, the maximum measuring range of FMR50,
FMR51 and FMR52 may decrease depending on density, temperature and composition of the
steam → use FMR53 or FMR54.
• For the measurement of absorbing gases such as ammonia NH3 or some fluorocarbons 4), please
use Levelflex or Micropilot FMR54 in a stilling well.
• 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.
• For stilling well applications, the zero should be positioned at the end of the tube, as the
electromagnetic waves do not propagate completely outside the tube. It must be taken into
account that the accuracy may be reduced in the area C. In order to guarantee the required
accuracy in these cases, it is recommended to position the zero-point at a distance C above the end
of the tube (see figure).
• In case of media with a low dielectric constant (εr = 1.5 to 4) 5) 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
figure) above the tank bottom in these applications.
• In principle it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna with FMR51, FMR53 and FMR54.
However, due to considerations regarding corrosion and build-up, the end of the measuring range
should not be chosen any closer than A (see figure) to the tip of the antenna.
• When using FMR54 with planar antenna, especially for media with low dielectric constants, the
end of the measuring range should not be closer than A: 1 m (3.28 ft) to the flange.
• The smallest possible measuring range B depends on the antenna version (see figure).
• The tank height should be at least H (see table).

Depending on the device version the marking may be a circle or two short parallel lines.
Nozzle mounting
For optimum measurement, the tip of the antenna should extend below the nozzle. This is achieved
by a nozzle height up to Hmax = 60 mm (2.36 in).

If the antenna doesn't extend below the nozzle, observe the following:
• The nozzle end must be smooth and free of burrs. If possible its edge should be rounded.
• An interference echo suppression must be performed.
• Please contact Endress+Hauser for applications with higher nozzles than those indicated in
the table.
Threaded connection
• Tighten with the hexagonal nut only.
• Tool : 50 mm hexagonal wrench
• Maximum permissible torque: 35 Nm (26 lbf ft)
Alignment
When using the Micropilot with a slip-on flange in explosion-hazardous areas, strictly observe
all specifications in the relevant Safety Instructions (XA).
• Align the antenna vertically to the product surface.
Optionally, a variable flange seal, which is available as an accessory, can be used for alignment
(see Technical Information BA01048F, chapter "Accessories").
• A marking at the feedthrough enables alignment of the antenna. This marking must be aligned
towards the tank wall as well as possible.

Mesurement from the outside through plastic walls (FMR50/FMR51)
• Dielectric constant of the medium: εr > 10
• If possible, use an antenna 100 mm (4 in).
• The distance from the lower edge of the antenna to the tank ceiling should be about
100 mm (4 in).
• If possible, avoid mounting locations where condensation or build-up might occur.
• In case of outdoor mounting, the space between antenna and vessel has to be protected from the
elements.
• Do not mount any potential reflectors (e.g. pipes) outside the tank in the signal beam.

Cleaning the antenna The antenna can get contaminated, depending on the application. The emission and reception of
microwaves can thus eventually be hindered. The degree of contamination leading to an error
depends on the medium and the reflectivity, mainly determined by the dielectric constant εr.
If the medium tends to cause contamination and deposits, cleaning on a regular basis is
recommended. Care has to be taken not to damage the antenna in the process of a mechanical or
hose-down cleaning. The material compatibility has to be considered if cleaning agents are used! The
maximum permitted temperature at the flange should not be exceeded.

Integration in tank gauging The Endress+Hauser Tank Side Monitor NRF590 provides integrated communications for sites with
system multiple tanks, each with one or more sensors on the tank, such as radar, spot or average
temperature, capacitive probe for water detection and/or pressure sensors. Multiple protocols out of
the Tank Side Monitor guarantee connectivity to nearly any of the existing industry standard tank
gauging protocols. Optional connectivity of analog 4...20 mA sensors, digital I/O and analog output
simplify full tank sensor integration. Use of the proven concept of the intrinsically safe HART bus for
all on-tank sensors yields extremely low wiring costs, while at the same time providing maximum
safety, reliability and data availability.
