Mounting Micropilot M FMR231 with FOUNDATION Fieldbus

3.3.2 Engineering hints
Orientation
• Recommended distance (1) wall – outer
edge of nozzle: ~1/6 of tank diameter.
Nevertheless the device should not be
installed closer than 30 cm (12“) to the
tankwall.
• Not in the centre (3), interference can cause
signal loss.
• Not above the fill stream (4).
• It is recommended to use a weather
protection cover (2) in order to protect the
transmitter from direct sun or rain. Assembly
and disassembly is simply done by means of a
tension clamp (

Tank installations
• Avoid any installations (1), like limit switches,
temperature sensors, etc., inside the signal
beam (refer to beam angle see "Beam angle"
on Page 16).
• Symmetrical installations (2), i.e. vacuum
rings, heating coils, baffles, etc., can also
interfere with the measurement.
Optimization options
• Antenna size: the bigger the antenna, the
smaller the beam angle, the less interference
echoes.
• Mapping: the measurement can be optimized
by means of electronic suppression of
interference echoes.
• Antenna alignment: refer to "optimum
mounting position"
• Stilling well: a stilling well can always be used
to avoid interference.
• Metallic screens (3) mounted at a slope spread
the radar signals and can, therefore, reduce
interference echoes.
Please contact Hauser for further
information.
