Endress+Hauser’s Micropilot M FMR240 radar level gauge offers non-contact continuous level measurement for reliable overfill protection in a wide range of applications and is ideally suited for hazardous area processes such as monitoring of acids in storage tanks.

The key to Micropilot’s success lies within the heart of the unit – the echo platform. This allows simple step-by-step commissioning, easy analysis and system optimisation. Versatile and reliable, the FMR240 has a measuring range of up to 70m and provides an accuracy of ±3mm. With a small (1½”) horn antenna, it’s ideal for applications on small tanks. What’s more, it is maintenance-free and offers complete integration into visualisation or process control systems using HART, PROFIBUS or FOUNDATION Fieldbus.

Extreme safety in your process
For hazardous area applications, the FMR240 offers the perfect solution – it is EEx ia and EEx d certified and can withstand temperatures up to 150˚C. With a SIL2 rating in accordance to IEC 61508 and IEC 61511-1, it offers extreme process safety in chemical and oil & gas applications.
