Micropilot FMR10B – radar sensor for basic applications

The Micropilot FMR10B supplies continuous non-contact level measurement with 80 GHz technology. It is the perfect match for basic applications in the Water & Wastewater industry as well as for Mining, Minerals & Metals and utilities across all industries. Guiding wizards guarantee simplicity in installation and commissioning. It is also ideal for limited space applications thanks to its compact design.

The Micropilot FMR10B is a free space radar device with a measuring range of up to 10m (33ft) for basic applications in liquids and solids. It is suitable for the level measurement in a wide range of applications:

  • Open basins
  • River monitoring
  • Storage tanks
  • Silos
  • Stockpiles

Benefits

  • Fast and easy commissioning 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
