Micropilot FMR50
10 V. 10, Rev. 2, 1-10-2019 Endress+Hauser
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).
Measuring range Maximum measuring range
Device Maximum measuring range
FMR50 - standard version 30 m (98 ft)
FMR50 - with "Advanced dynamics" application package 40 m (131 ft)
Usable measuring range
The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the
mounting location and eventual interference reflections.
The following tables describe the groups of media as well as the achievable measuring range as a
function of application and media group. If the dielectric constant of a medium is unknown, it is
recommended to assume media group B to ensure a reliable measurement.
