Micropilot FMR62B – 80 GHz radar sensor

Micropilot FMR62B is part of the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors. It is used for continuous non-contact level measurement in challenging liquid applications. It masters process requirements like high temperatures, high process pressure as well as changing media. Testing concepts for SIL-locking and proof tests reduces the risk of systematic errors. Heartbeat Technology offers verification and monitoring functions to identify anomalies for increased safety and productivity.

The Micropilot FMR62B is suitable for free-space applications up to 80m and offers high beam focusing for vessels with many internal fittings. Process connections: Flanges. Temperature: –196 to +450 °C (-320 to +842°F). Pressure: –1 bis +160 bar (-14.5 to 2320.6 psi). Maximum measuring range: 80 m (262.5 ft). Accuracy: ±1 mm (0.04 in). W-band: 80 GHz. International explosion protection certificates, overfill prevention WHG, SIL, marine approval, 5- or 10-point factory calibration certificate
