Micropilot FMR66B – 80 GHz radar sensor

The Micropilot FMR66B belongs to the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors. It is suitable for continuous, non-contact level measurement in simple solid applications. Wizards guide through commissioning, retesting and verification of the instrument and guarantee easy handling. The small beam angle is perfect for measurements in narrow silos. Heartbeat Technology detects unwanted anomalies, such as buildup, for increased productivity.

Reduction of the max. possible measuring range due to:

Media with poor reflective properties cone of repose

extremely loose surface of bulk solids, e.g. bulk solids with a

low bulk density during pneumatic filling buildup, especially of

moist products.
