Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA InstallationEndress + Hauser 153.3.2 Engineering hintsOrientation• Recommended distance (1) wall – outer edge of nozzle: ~1/6 of vessel diameter. However, the device should not, under any circumstances, be mounted less than 20 cm/8“ from the vessel wall.• 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 (→Chap. 8 on Page 64).• In extremely dusty applications, the integrated air purge connection can prevent clogging of the antenna.L00-FMR250xx-17-00-00-xx-0031234Vessel installations• Avoid any installations (1), like limit switches, struts, etc., inside the signal beam (refer to beam angle see "Beam angle" on Page 16).• Symmetrical installations (2), i.e. reinforcing rings, heating coils, 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"• In devices with top target positioner, the sensor can be optimally aimed within the vessel and/or interference reflections can be avoided.The max. angle β is ±15°.Please contact Endress+Hauser for further information.L00-FMR250xx-17-00-00-xx-00212

Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA InstallationEndress + Hauser 17Measuring conditions• The measuring range begins, where the beam hits the vessel bottom. Particularly with dish bottoms or conical outlets the level cannot be detected below this point.• In case of media with a low dielectric constant (groups A and B), the vessel bottom can be visible through the medium at low levels. In order to guarantee the required accuracy in these cases, it is recommended to position the zero-point at a distance C =50...150 mm above the vessel bottom (see Fig.).• In principle it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna with FMR250. However, due to considerations regarding abrasion and build-up, the end of the measuring range should not be chosen any closer than A=400 mm (see Fig.) to the tip of the antenna.• The smallest possible measuring range B=500 mm (see Fig.).L00-FMR250xx-17-00-00-en-001100%0%BAC
Installation Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA18 Endress + HauserMeasuring rangeThe usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the mounting location and eventual interference reflections. The maximum configurable range is 70 m (229 ft) for Micropilot M FMR250.To achieve an optimised Signal strength it is recommended to use an antenna with as large as possible diameter (DN200/8" parabolic antenna, DN100/4" horn).Reduction of the max. possible measuring range through:• Media with poor reflection properties (= small DC). For examples refer to table 1.• Angle of repose.• Extremely loose surfaces of bulk solids, e.g. bulk solids with low bulk weight for pneumatic filling.• Build-up, above all of moist products.Table 1:The following table describes the media groups and the dielectric constant εr.The respective lower group applies for very loose or loosened bulk solids.Media group DC (εr) Examples Signal attenuationA1.6...1.9– Plastic granulate– White lime, special cement–Sugar19...16 dBB1.9...2.5 – Portland cement, plaster 16...13 dBC2.5...4–Grain, seeds–Ground stones–Sand13...10 dBD4...7 – Naturally moist (ground) stones, ores–Salt 10...7 dBE>7– Metallic powder– Carbon black–Coal< 7 dB

Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA CommissioningEndress + Hauser 43The basic setup is sufficient for successful commissioning in most applications. Complex measuring operations necessitate additional functions that the user can use to customise the Micropilot as necessary to suit his specific requirements. The functions available to do this are described in detail in the BA291F.Comply with the following instructions when configuring the functions in the "basic setup" (00):• Select the functions as described on Page 31.• Some functions can only be used depending on the parameterisation of the instrument. For example, the pipe diameter of a stilling well can only be entered if "stilling well" was selected beforehand in the "tank shape" (002) function.• Certain functions (e.g. starting an interference echo mapping (053)) prompt you to confirm your data entries. Press O or S to select "YES" and press F to confirm. The function is now started.• If you do not press a key during a configurable time period (→ function group "display"(09)), an automatic return is made to the home position (measured value display).!Note! • The instrument continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current measured values are output via the signal outputs in the normal way.• If the envelope curve mode is active on the display, the measured values are updated in a slower cycle time. Thus, it is advisable to leave the envelope curve mode after the measuring point has been optimised.• If the power supply fails, all preset and parameterised values remain safely stored in the EEPROM."Caution! All functions are described in detail, as is the overview of the operating menu itself, in the manual “Description of the instrument functions − BA291F”, which is found on the enclosed CD-ROM.!Note!

Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA MaintenanceEndress + Hauser 637 MaintenanceThe Micropilot M measuring instrument requires no special maintenance.Exterior cleaningWhen cleaning the exterior of measuring devices, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the surface of the housing and the seals.Replacing sealsThe process seals of the sensors 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.RepairsThe Endress+Hauser repair concept assumes that the measuring devices have a modular design and that customers are able to undertake repairs themselves. Spare parts are contained in suitable kits. They contain the related replacement instructions. All the spare parts kits which you can order from Endress+Hauser for repairs to the Micropilot M are listed with their order numbers on and . Please contact Endress+Hauser Service for further information on service and spare parts.Repairs to Ex-approved devicesWhen 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 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 our 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.ReplacementAfter a complete Micropilot or electronic module has been replaced, the parameters can be downloaded into the instrument again via the communication interface. Prerequisite to this is that the data were uploaded to the PC beforehand using the ToF Tool / FieldCare.Measurement can continue without having to carry out a new setup.• You may have to activate linearisation (see BA291F on the enclosed CD-ROM)• You may need to record the tank map again (see Basic Setup)After an antenna component or electronic has been replaced, a new calibration must be carried out.

Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA Trouble-shootingEndress + Hauser 739.5 Orientation of the MicropilotFor orientation a marker is found on the flange or threaded boss of the Micropilot. During installation this must be oriented as follows (see Page 11):• In tanks: to the vessel wall• In stilling wells: to the slots• In bypass pipes: vertical to the tank connectors• When using the Wave Guide antenna no orientation is required!After commissioning the Micropilot, the echo quality indicates whether a sufficiently large measuring signal is obtained. If necessary, the quality can be optimised later. Vice versa, the presence of an interference echo can be used to minimise this by optimum orientation. The advantage of this is that the subsequent tank mapping uses a somewhat lower level that causes an increase in the strength of the measuring signal.Proceed as follows:#Warning! Subsequent alignment can lead to personal injury. Before you unscrew or loosen the process connection, make sure that the vessel is not under pressure and does not contain any injurious substances.1. It is best to empty the container so that the bottom is just covered. However, alignment can be carried out even if the vessel is empty.2. Optimisation is best carried out with the aid of the envelope graph in the display or the ToF Tool.3. Unscrew the flange or loosen the threaded boss by a half a turn.4. Turn the flange by one hole or screw the threaded boss by one eighth of a turn. Note the echo quality.5. Continue to turn until 360° is reached.6.

The emission and reception of microwaves can thus eventually be hindered. The degree of contamination leading to an error depends on the medium and the reflectivity, mainly determined by the dielectric constant εr. If the medium tends to cause contamination and deposits, cleaning on a regular basis is recommended. Care has to be taken not to damage the antenna in the process of a mechanical or hose-down cleaning (eventually air purge connection). The material compatibility has to be considered if cleaning agents are used!The maximum permitted temperature at the flange should not be exceeded.Electromagnetic compatibility • Interference Emission to EN 61326, Electrical Equipment Class B• Interference Immunity to EN 61326, Annex A (Industrial) and NAMUR Recommendation NE 21 (EMC)• A standard installation cable is sufficient if only the analogue signal is used.

Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA AppendixEndress + Hauser 8911.3 Function and system design11.3.1 Function (Measuring principle)The Micropilot is a "downward-looking" measuring system, operating based on the time-of-flight method. It measures the distance from the reference point (process connection) to the product surface. Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by the radar system.L00-FMR250xx-15-00-00-en-001InputThe reflected radar impulses are received by the antenna and transmitted into the electronics. A microprocessor evaluates the signal and identifies the level echo caused by the reflection of the radar impulse at the product surface. The unambiguous signal identification is accomplished by the PulseMaster® software, based on many years of experience with time-of-flight technology.The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the impulse:D = c · t/2,with c being the speed of light.Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:L = E – DRefer to the above figure for the reference point for "E".The Micropilot is equipped with functions to suppress interference echoes. The user can activate these functions. They ensure that interference echoes (i.e. from internals and struts seams) are not interpreted as level echo.20 mA100%4mA0%DLFEflange:reference point ofmeasurementflange:reference point ofmeasurementthreadedconnection1 ½” (R 1:reference point ofmeasurementBSPT ½”)or 1½ NPT
Appendix Micropilot M FMR250 with HART/4...20 mA90 Endress + HauserOutputThe Micropilot is commissioned by entering an empty distance E (=zero), a full distance F (=span) and an application parameter. The application parameter automatically adapts the instrument to the process cond.. The data points “E” and “F” correspond with 4mA and 20mA for instruments with current output. They correspond with 0 % and 100 % for digital outputs and the display module.A linearization with max. 32 points, based on a table entered either manually or semi-automatically, can be activated locally or remotely. This function provides a measurement in engineering units and a linear output signal for spheres, horizontal cylindrical tanks and vessels with conical outlet.11.3.2 Equipment architectureStand-aloneThe instrument provides a 4…20 mA output with HART protocol.4…20 mA output with HART protocolThe complete measuring system consists of:L00-FMR2xxxx-14-00-06-en-001If the HART communication resistor is not built into the supply unit, it is necessary to insert a communication resistor of 250 Ω into the 2-wire line.ENDRESS + HAUSERE+–%ENDRESS + HAUSERRMA 4221# % &CopyG H IP Q R S, ( )‘A B CPastePageOnPageUpDeleteBkspInsertJ K LT UV_ < >D E FHot Key+ Hot KeyM N OW XY Z+ * /47.2580375FIELD COMMUNICATOR369-DELTABAR:* * * * * * * *ONLINE1 QUICK SETUP2 OPERATING MENU4 SV 0 °C3 PV 352 mbarHELP SAVEdsdmdmdf das.asdas faasas la.1# % &CopyG H IP Q R S, ( )‘A B CPastePageOnPageUpDeleteBkspInsertJ K LT UV_ < >D E FHot Key+ Hot KeyM N OW XY Z+ * /47.2580375FIELD COMMUNICATOR369-DELTABAR:* * * * * * * *ONLINE1 QUICK SETUP2 OPERATING MENU4 SV 0 °C3 PV 352 mbarHELP SAVEdsdmdmdf das.asdas faasas la.- FieldCare- ToF Tool - FieldToolPackage- FieldCare- ToF Tool - FieldToolPackageHART handheldDXR375FXA191orDXR375transmitter powersupply unitRMA422or RN221N(communication resistorincluded)PLCCommuboxFXA191operating anddisplay moduleVU331service adapterFXA193
