Micropilot FMR20B Radar Sensor For Basic Applications
Brand: Endress+HauserMicropilot FMR20B Radar Sensor For Basic Applications
Brand: Endress+HauserThe Micropilot FMR20B offers continuous non-contact level measurement with 80 GHz technology. Guiding wizards enable easy handling for installation, commissioning and operation. Efficiency through reduced downtime can be realized with on-demand process verification and device diagnostics, thanks to Heartbeat Technology. The compact design of the device also allows use in narrow installation conditions.
The Micropilot FMR20B is a free space radar device with a measuring range of up to 30m (98ft) for liquid and solid applications in the Water & Wastewater, Mining, Minerals & Metals and Food & Beverage industries, as well as for utility applications across all industries:
- Open baisins
- River monitoring
- Sewer management
- Pump station / lift station
- Open channel flow
- IBC and storage tanks
- Silos
- Stockpiles
- Pneumatic conveying
- Fast commissioning and operation thanks to guided setup sequences (wizards)
- Bluetooth connectivity enables easy, reliable and encrypted wireless remote access
- Device identification during Bluetooth connection thanks to “It’s me-function” (LED flashing) and status indication via LED
- Simple device selection thanks to clear segmentation and easy configuration
- Heartbeat Technology allows on-demand verification and diagnostics guided through the wizard without process interruption
