Micropilot FMR30B – radar sensor for basic applications

The Micropilot FMR30B is made for continuous non-contact level measurement equipped with 80 GHz-technology. The installation and commissioning of the device is fast and easy due to its simple design and guiding wizards. Remote access via Bluetooth or on-site access via the color touch display ensures easy operation. With on-demand process verification and device diagnostics, thanks to Heartbeat Technology, downtime can be reduced. The compact device is ideal for narrow installation conditions.

The Micropilot FMR30B is a free space radar device with a measuring range of up to 30m (98ft) for level measurement in liquids and solids. It is suitable for utility applications across all industries and the perfect match for applications in Water & Wastewater as well as for basic applications in Mining, Minerals & Metals and Food & Beverage industry:
