‣ Following instructions and basic conditions
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
‣ Being instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the
facility's owner-operator
‣ Following the instructions in these Operating Instructions
2.2 Designated use

Application and measured materials
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is intended for the
continuous, contactless level measurement of liquids, pastes and sludge. The device can
also be freely mounted outside closed metal vessels because of its operating frequency of
about 26 GHz, a maximum radiated pulsed power of 5.7 mW and an average power output
of 0.015 mW (for the version with advanced dynamics: maximum pulse power: 23.3 mW;
average power: 0.076 mW). Operation is completely harmless to humans and animals.
Observing the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and listed in the Operating
Instructions and supplementary documentation, the measuring device may be used for the
following measurements only:
‣ Measured process variables: level, distance, signal strength
‣ Calculated process variables: Volume or mass in arbitrarily shaped vessels; flow
through measuring weirs or flumes (calculated from the level by the linearization
functionality)
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣ Use the measuring device only for measured materials against which the process-
wetted materials are adequately resistant.
‣ Observe the limit values in "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Verification for borderline cases:
‣ For special measured materials and cleaning agents, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide
assistance in verifying the corrosion resistance of wetted materials, but does not accept
any warranty or liability.
Residual risk
The electronics housing and its built-in components such as display module, main
electronics module and I/O electronics module may heat to 80 °C (176 °F) during operation
through heat transfer from the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics.
During operation the sensor may assume a temperature near the temperature of the
measured material.

6.1.3 Reduction of interference echoes
Metallic screens mounted at a slope

spread the radar signal and can,
therefore, reduce interference echoes.

6.1.4 Measurement in a plastic vessel

If the outer wall of the vessel is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GRP), microwaves
can also be reflected off interfering installations outside the signal beam (e.g. metallic
pipes (1), ladders (2), grates (3), ...). Therefore, there should be no such interfering
installations in the signal beam. Please contact Endress+Hauser for further information.

• Antenna size
The bigger the antenna, the smaller the beam angle α and the fewer interference echoes
(→  22).
• Mapping
The measurement can be optimized by means of electronic suppression of interference
echoes.
See the Confirm distance parameter (→  69).
• Antenna alignment
Take into account the marker on the flange or threaded connection (→  26)
(→  28) .
• Stilling well
A stilling well can be applied to avoid interferences (→  30).
• Metallic screens mounted at a slope
They spread the radar signals and can, therefore, reduce interference echoes.

The beam angle is defined as the angle α where the energy density of the radar waves
reaches half the value of the maximum energy density (3-dB-width). Microwaves are also
emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.

6.2 Measuring conditions

• In case of boiling surfaces, bubbling or tendency for foaming use FMR53 or FMR54.
Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the
foam surface. Measurement is possible under certain conditions. For FMR50, FMR51
and FMR52, the additional option "Advanced dynamics" is recommended in these cases
(feature 540: "Application Package", option EM).
• In case of heavy steam development or condensate, the maximum measuring range of
FMR50, FMR51 and FMR52 may decrease depending on density, temperature and
composition of the steam → use FMR53 or FMR54.
• For the measurement of absorbing gases such as ammonia NH3 or some
fluorocarbons 2), please use Levelflex or Micropilot FMR54 in a stilling well.
• The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the tank bottom. Particularly with
dish bottoms or conical outlets the level cannot be detected below this point.
• For stilling well applications, the zero should be positioned at the end of the tube, as the
electromagnetic waves do not propagate completely outside the tube. It must be taken
into account that the accuracy may be reduced in the area C. In order to guarantee the
required accuracy in these cases, it is recommended to position the zero-point at a
distance C above the end of the tube (see figure).
• In case of media with a low dielectric constant (εr = 1.5 to 4) 3) the tank bottom can be
visible through the medium at low levels (low height C). Reduced accuracy has to be
expected in this range. If this is not acceptable, we recommend positioning the zero
point at a distance C (see figure) above the tank bottom in these applications.
• In principle it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna with FMR51, FMR53
and FMR54. However, due to considerations regarding corrosion and build-up, the end
of the measuring range should not be chosen any closer than A (see figure) to the tip of
the antenna.
• When using FMR54 with planar antenna, especially for media with low dielectric
constants, the end of the measuring range should not be closer than 1 m (3.28 ft) to the
flange.
• The smallest possible measuring range B depends on the antenna version (see figure).
• The tank height should be at least H (see table).
2) Affected compounds are e.g. R134a, R227, Dymel 152a.

3) Dielectric constants of important media commonly used in the industry are summarized in the document SD106F, which can be downloaded
from the Endress+Hauser web page (www.endress.com).

6.4.1 Recommendations for the stilling well

• Metal (no enamel coating; plastic on request).
• Constant diameter.
• Diameter of stilling well not larger than antenna diameter.
• Diameter difference between horn antenna and inner diameter of the stilling well as
small as possible.
• Weld seam as smooth as possible and on the same axis as the slots.
• Slots offset 180° (not 90°).
• Slot width or diameter of holes max. 1/10 of pipe diameter, de-burred. Length and
number do not have any influence on the measurement.
• Select horn antenna as big as possible. For intermedaite sizes (e.g. 180 mm (7 in)) select
next larger antenna and adapt it mechanically (for horn antennas)
• At any transition (i.e. when using a ball valve or mending pipe segments), no gap may be
created exceeding 1 mm (0.04 in).
• The stilling well must be smooth on the inside (average roughness Rz ≤
6.3 μm (248 μin)). Use extruded or parallel welded stainless steel pipe. An extension of
the pipe is possible with welded flanges or pipe sleeves. Flange and pipe have to be
properly aligned at the inside.
• Do not weld through the pipe wall. The inside of the stilling well must remain smooth. In
case of unintentional welding through the pipe, the weld seam and any unevenness on
the inside need to be carefully removed and smoothened. Otherwise, strong interference
echoes will be generated and material build-up will be promoted.
• Particularly on smaller nominal widths it needs to be observed that flanges are welded to
the pipe such that they allow for a correct orientation (marker aligned toward slots).
The performance of Micropilot FMR54 with planar antenna is not dependent on the
alignment or geometry of standard stilling wells. No special alignment is required.
However, make sure that the planar antenna is installed vertically relative to the
stilling well axis.

been defined, "0000" has to be entered.
Endress+Hauser 55
8.2.2 User roles and related access authorization

The two user roles "Operator" and "Maintenance" have different write access to the
parameters if a device-specific access code has been defined. This protects the device
configuration via the local display from unauthorized access (→  57).
Access authorization to parameters

role.
The user role with which the user is currently logged on is indicated by the Access
status display parameter.
Navigation path: Setup → Advanced Setup → Access status display
56 Endress+Hauser
8.2.3 Write protection via access code

Using the device-specific access code, the parameters for the measuring device
configuration are write-protected and their values can no longer be changed via local
operation.
Define access code

1. Navigating to the "Define access code" parameter: Setup → Advanced Setup →
Administration → Define access code
2. Define a max. 4-digit numeric code as an access code.
3. Repeat the same code in the following parameter: "Confirm access code".
 The -symbol appears in front of all write-protected parameters.
Parameters that can always be changed

The write protection does not include certain parameters that do not affect the
measurement. Despite the defined access code, they can always be modified, even if the
other parameters are locked.
If no key is pressed for 10 minutes in the navigation and editing mode, the device
automatically locks the write-protected parameters. If the user goes from the navigation
and editing mode back to the measured value display mode, the device automatically locks
the write-protected parameters after 60 s.
• If write access is activated via access code, it can be also be deactivated only via the
access code (→  57).
• In the "Description of Device Parameters" documents, each write-protected
parameter is identified with the -symbol.
8.2.4 Disabling write protection via access code

If the -symbol appears on the local display in front of a parameter, the parameter is
write-protected by a device-specific access code and its value cannot be changed at the
moment using the local display (→  57).
The locking of the write access via local operation can be disabled by entering the device-
specific access code.
1. After you press , the input prompt for the access code appears.
2. Enter the access code.
 The -symbol in front of the parameters disappears; all previously write-
protected parameters are now re-enabled.
8.2.5 Deactivation of the write protection via access code

1. Navigating to the Define access code parameter: Setup → Advanced Setup →
Administration → Define access code
2. Enter 0000.
3. Repeat 0000 in the following parameter: Confirm access code.
 The write protection is deactivated. Parameters can be changed without entering
an access code.
Endress+Hauser 57
8.2.6 Write protection via lock switch

Unlike write protection via device-specific access code, this allows write access to the entire
operating menu - other than the Contrast display parameter - to be locked.
The values of the parameters are still visible, but can no longer be changed (except for
Contrast display), either via the local display, CDI interface or bus protocol.

Maintenance Micropilot FMR51, FMR52
12 Maintenance
The measuring device requires no special maintenance.
12.1 Exterior cleaning

When exterior-cleaning the device, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the
surface of the hosuing and the seals.
12.2 Replacing seals

The process seals of the sensors (at the process connection) must be replaced periodically,
particularly if molded seals (aseptic construction) are used. The period between changes
depends on the frequency of cleaning cycles and on the temperature of the measured
substance and the cleaning temperature.

13.1 General information on repairs
13.1.1 Repair concept

The Endress+Hauser repair concept assumes that the devices have a modular design and
that repairs can be done by the Endress+Hauser service or specially trained customers.
Spare parts are contained in suitable kits. They contain the related replacement
instructions.
For more information on service and spare parts, contact the Service Department at
Endress+Hauser.
13.1.2 Repairs to Ex-approved devices

When carrying out repairs to Ex-approved devices, please note the following:
• Repairs to Ex-approved devices may only be carried out by trained personnel or by the
Endress+Hauser Service.
• Comply with the prevailing standards, national Ex-area regulations, safety instructions
(XA) and certificates.
• Only use original spare parts from Endress+Hauser.
• When ordering a spare part, please note the device designation on the nameplate. Only
replace parts with identical parts.
• Carry out repairs according to the instructions. On completion of repairs, carry out the
specified routine test on the device.
• Only Endress+Hauser Service may convert a certified device into a different certified
variant.
• Document all repair work and conversions.
13.1.3 Replacement of an electronics module

If an electronics module has been replaced, it is not necessary to perform a new basic setup
as the calibration parameters are stored in the HistoROM which is located in the housing.
However, after exchanging the main electronics module it may be necessary to record a
new mapping (interference echo suppression).
13.1.4 Replacement of a device

After a complete device or electronic module has been replaced, the parameters can be
downloaded into the instrument again in one of the following ways:
• Via the display module
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved in the display module
(→  129).
• Via FieldCare
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved to the computer via
FieldCare.
You can continue to measure without carrying out a new setup. Only a linearization and a
tank map (interference echo suppression) have to be recorded again.

Logging interval
Navigation Diagnostics → Data logging → Logging interval
Endress+Hauser 141
Description Definition of the logging interval t log for data logging. This defines the interval between
the individual data points in the data log, and thus the maximum loggable process time T
log :
• If 1 logging channel is used: T log = 500 ⋅ t log

• If 2 logging channels are used: T log = 250 ⋅ t log
Once this time elapses, the oldest data points in the data log are cyclically overwritten such
that a time of T log always remains in the memory (ring memory principle).
The log contents are cleared if the length of the logging interval is changed.
Input range 1.0 to 3 600.0 s
Factory setting 10.0 s
Additional information Example

If 1 logging channel is used:
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 1 s = 500 s ≈ 8.5 min
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 10 s = 5 000 s ≈ 1.5 h
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 80 s = 40 000 s ≈ 11 h
• Tlog = 500 ⋅ 3 600 s = 1 800 000 s ≈ 20 d
