Technical Information
TI 345F/00/en

Level-Radar
micropilot M
FMR 230/231/240

Smart Transmitter for continuous and 
non-contact level measurement
Cost-effective 4…20 mA 2-wire technology
Suitable for hazardous locations

Features and benefits

2-wire technology, low price:
A real alternative to differential 
pressure, floats and displacers.
2-wire technology reduces wiring costs 
and allows easy implementation into 
existing systems.

Non-contact measurement:
Measurement is almost independent 
from product properties.

Easy on-site operation via menu-driven 
alphanumeric display.

Easy commissioning, documentation 
and diagnostics via operating software 
(ToF Tool).

2 frequency ranges – approx. 6 and 
26 GHz:
No compromises, the right frequency 
for every application.

HART or PROFIBUS-PA respectively 
Foundation Fieldbus protocol.

High temperatures:
Suitable for process temperatures up to 
+200 °C (392 °F), up to 400 °C (752 °F) 
with high-temperature antenna.

Rod antenna with inactive length:
Reliable measurement in narrow 
nozzles, with condensation and
build-up in the nozzle.

Application

The Micropilot M is used for continuous, 
non-contact level measurement of 
liquids, pastes, and slurries. 
The measurement is not affected by 
changing media, temperature changes, 
gas blankets or vapours.

The FMR 230 is especially suited for 
measurement in buffer and process 
tanks.

The FMR 231 has its strengths 
wherever high chemical compatibility is 
required.

The FMR 240 with the small (1½") horn 
antenna is ideally suited for small 
vessels. Additionally, it provides an 
accuracy of ±3 mm.
