Micropilot FMR67B – 80 GHz radar sensor

Micropilot FMR67B is part of the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors. It is suitable for continuous non-contact level measurement in demanding solid applications – even with extreme process temperatures. Wizards guide users through commissioning, proof tests and verification of the devices and thus guarantee a simple operation. The narrow beam angle is suitable for measurements in narrow silos. Heartbeat Technology identifies anomalies for increased safety and productivity. 

Reliable, non-contact level measurement for high silos, unkers or stockpiles, especially with many installations, ong measuring ranges and heavy build up. Heartbeat Verification + Monitoring, SIL 2/3 according to IEC 61508, Bluetooth® commissioning, operation and maintenance with SmartBlue App, HistoROM, RFID TAG for easy identification Very narrow beam angle, Purge air connection, Alignment device. The Micropilot FMR67B is suitable for free space applications up to 125m and offers high beam focusing for vessels with many internal fittings.

Features

  • Designed as part of the next-generation 80 GHz radar sensors from Micropilot (by Endress+Hauser) specifically for non-contact continuous level measurement in challenging bulk solids / free-space applications, including extreme process conditions.
  • Utilises a narrow beam angle (thanks to 80 GHz frequency) for improved focusing and suitability in vessels with complex internals or narrow silos.
  • Supports very long measuring ranges: up to 125 m ( 410 ft) in free‐space applications.
  • High process tolerance:
  • Temperature: –40 °C to +450 °C (–40 °F to +842 °F)
  • Pressure: From vacuum (–1 bar) up to +160 bar (or –14.5 psi to ~2320 psi)
  • Accuracy: Typically ±3 mm (0.12 in) under stated conditions.
  • Frequency band: W-band ~80 GHz.
  • Device supports full diagnostics, built-in verification, guided setup (“wizards”) for commissioning, and the “Heartbeat Technology” for anomaly/self-diagnostics.
