If the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and the conditions listed in the instructions
and additional documentation are observed, the measuring device may be used for the
following measurements only:
‣ Measured process variables: distance
‣ Calculated process variables: volume or mass in vessels of any shape; 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 media 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 fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance in
verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any
warranty or liability.

Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process as well as power dissipation within the electronics, the
temperature of the electronics housing and the assemblies contained therein may rise to 80 °C
(176 °F) during operation. When in operation, the sensor can reach a temperature close to the
medium temperature.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣ For elevated fluid temperature, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.

5 Tank installation position

• If possible install the sensor so that its lower edge projects into the vessel.
• Do not install the sensor in the middle of the tank (2). We recommend leaving a distance
(1) between the sensor and the tank wall measuring 1/6 of the tank diameter.
Recommended distance A wall - nozzle outer edge: ~ 1/6 of the tank diameter D. However,
the device must not under any circumstances be mounted closer than 15 cm (5.91 in) to the
tank wall.
• Avoid measurements through the filling curtain (3).
• Avoid equipment (4) such as limit switches, temperature sensors, baffles, heating coils etc.
• Multiple devices can be operated in one tank without influencing each other.
• No signals are analyzed within the Blocking distance. It can therefore be used to suppress
interference signals (e.g. the effects of condensate) close to the antenna.
By default an automatic Blocking distance of at least 0.1 m (0.33 ft) is preset. However it
can be manually overwritten (even 0 m (0 ft) is allowed.
Automatic calculation:
Blocking distance = Empty calibration - Full calibration - 0.2 m (0.656 ft).
The Blocking distance parameter is recalculated according to this formula every time a new
value is entered into the Empty calibration parameter or Full calibration parameter.
If this calculation results in a value <0.1 m (0.33 ft), the blocking distance of 0.1 m (0.33 ft)
is used instead.

Micropilot FMR20 HART Installation

The beam angle is defined as the angle α at which the power density of the radar waves
reaches half the value of the maximum power density (3dB width). Microwaves are also
emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.
Beam diameter W as a function of beam angle α and measuring distance D.

7.1.6 Measurement in plastic vessels

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

The tube is screwed directly onto the sensor and seals off the system by means of an O-ring
(2) making it air-tight. In the event of flooding, the air pocket (1) that develops in the tube
ensures a definitive detection of the maximum level (4) directly at the end of the tube. Due to
the fact that the Blocking distance (3) is inside the tube, multiple echoes are not analyzed.

10.4.1 Operating functions

The operating functions of the process display unit are divided into the following menus. The
individual parameters and settings are described in the "Commissioning" section.
If the operating menu is disabled by means of a user code, the individual menus and
parameters can be displayed but not changed. To change a parameter, the user code
must be entered. As the display unit can only display digits in the 7-segment display and
not alphanumeric characters, the procedure for number parameters is different to that
for text parameters. If the operating position contains only numbers as parameters, the
operating position is displayed in the 14-segment display and the configured parameter
is displayed in the 7-segment display. To edit, press the 'E'-button followed by the user
code. If the operating position contains text parameters, only the operating position is
initially displayed in the 14-segment display. If the 'E' button is pressed again, the
configured parameter is displayed in the 14-segment display. To edit, press the '+' button
followed by the user code.

Setup (SETUP) Basic device settings

Diagnostics (DIAG) Device information, display of error messages

Expert (EXPRT) Expert settings for device setup. The Expert menu is protected from editing by an access code
(default 0000).

10.4.2 Operating modes

The process display unit can be used in two different operating modes:
• 4 to 20 mA mode:
In this operating mode, the process display unit is incorporated into the 4 to 20 mA current
loop and measures the transmitted current. The variable calculated based on the current
value and range limits is displayed in digital form on the 5-digit LCD. In addition, the
associated unit and a bar graph can be displayed. In this mode of operation, the measured
value corresponds to 0 to 100 %.
• HART mode:
The display unit is powered via the current loop.
The FMR20 can be adjusted under the "Setup Level" menu (see operating matrix). The
measured value displayed corresponds to the distance measured or, if linearization is
enabled, to a percentage value.
HART communication operates according to the master/slave principle.
In the HART loop, the process display unit has the option of functioning either as a primary
master or as a secondary master (default). When it functions as a master, the device can
read process values from the measuring device and display them.
In HART mode, the process display unit can show up to four device variables of a
multivariable measuring device. These variables are referred to as the Primary Variable
(PV), Secondary Variable (SV), Tertiary Variable (TV) and Quaternary Variable (QV). These
variables are placeholders for measured values that can be retrieved using HART
communication.

38 Endress+Hauser
Micropilot FMR20 HART Commissioning and operation

As a general rule, the sensor is a slave and transmits information only if a request has
been made by the master. A HART loop can have a maximum of two HART masters at
any one time. With these HART masters, a distinction is made between the primary
master (e.g. the distributed control system) and the secondary master (e.g. handheld
terminal for local operation of the measuring devices). The two masters in the loop/in
the network cannot be masters of the same type, e.g. they cannot be two "secondary
masters". If a third HART master is added to the network, one of the other masters must
be disabled; otherwise a collision occurs in the network. If the process display unit
(RIA15) is operating as a "secondary master", for example, and another "secondary
master" (e.g. a handheld device) is added to the network, the device interrupts HART
communication as soon as it detects the presence of another "secondary master". The
display alternates between error message C970 "Multi master collision" and "- - -". A
measured value is not displayed in this case. The device leaves the HART loop for 30
seconds and then tries to re-establish HART communication once again. Once the
additional "secondary master" is removed from the network, the device continues
communication and displays the measured values of the sensor/actor once more.
