Micropilot FMR56, FMR57
6 V. 1, Rev. 6, 19-10-2012 Endress+Hauser
Output
The Micropilot is commissioned by entering an empty distance "E" (=zero), a full distance "F" (=span) and
application parameters. The application parameters are automatically adapt into 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.
