Technical Information
Micropilot S FMR540
Level-Radar
Smart Transmitter for continuous and non-contact precision level
measurement. For custody transfer and inventory control
applications with NMi and PTB approvals.
Application
The Micropilot S is used for highly accurate level
measurement in storage tanks and can be applied in
custody transfer applications. It meets the relevant
requirements according to OIML R85 and API 3.1B.
Typical areas of application are:
• The with parabolic antenna is excellently suited for
free space applications up to 40 m (131 ft).
• The with horn antenna is suitable for free space
applications that disallow the use of a parabolic
antenna due to tank/nozzle geometry.
The FMR540 with DN200 (8") parabolic antenna offers
high beam focussing of 4° and is therefore ideally suited
to applications with nozzles situated close to the tank
wall.
The FMR540 with DN100 (4") horn antenna is designed
for all small nozzles sizes.

Micropilot S FMR540
Function and system design
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.

Input
The 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–D
Reference point for "E" is the lower surface of the process connection. For highly precise level measurements,
it is of crucial importance to have a stable mounting position (GRH) of the radar gauge or to compensate for
the effects of tank movements during filling and emptying cycles. This can be done by either using the dip table
integrated in the Micropilot S FMR53x / 540 or by using the compensation methods integrated into the Tank
Side Monitor NRF590.
The Micropilot is equipped with functions to suppress interference echoes. The user can activate these
functions. They ensure that interference echoes (e.g. from edges and weld seames) are not interpreted as level
echo.
Output
The 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 measuring
conditions. 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. For inventory control or
custody transfer applications, the measurement should always be transferred via digital communication
(HART).
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 tanks with conical outlet.

System integration via Fieldgate
Vendor Managed Inventory
By using Fieldgates to interrogate tank or silo levels remotely, suppliers of raw materials can provide their
regular customers with information about the current supplies at any time and, for example, account for them
in their own production planning. For their part, the Fieldgates monitor the configured level limits and, if
required, automatically activate the next supply. The spectrum of options here ranges from a simple purchasing
requisition via e-mail through to fully automatic order administration by coupling XML data into the planning
systems on both sides.
Remote maintenance of measuring equipment
Fieldgates not only transfer the current measured values, they also alert the responsible standby personnel, if
required, via e-mail or SMS. In the event of an alarm or also when performing routine checks, service
technicians can diagnose and configure connected HART devices remotely. All that is required for this is the
corresponding HART operating software (e.g. ToF Tool - FieldTool Package, FieldCare, ...) for the connected
device. Fieldgate passes on the information transparently, so that all options for the respective operating
software are available remotely. Some on-site service operations can be avoided by using remote diagnosis and
remote configuration and all others can at least be better planned and prepared.

"www.endress.com É Download" (Text Search = "Fieldnetcalc").
Integration into the Asset Management System
The HART interface allows the integration into the AMS® (Asset Management System) from Emerson.
Custody transfer applications
Endress+Hauser
The Micropilot S is suitable for custody transfer and inventory control applications.The on-site testing has to be
done in compliance with the applicable regulatory standards.The Micropilot S can be sealed after successful onsite calibration to be protected against any access to the electronics compartment and any changes of software
settings. If the Micropilot S is used for custody transfer or inventory control, any temperature influence on the
tank shell height can be compensated for using the Tank Side Monitor. In addition, the vertical movement of
the gauge reference point due to the hydrostatic tank deformation can be compensated in the Tank Side
Monitor. A Tank Side Monitor can provide 24 VDC for a Micropilot S. The Tank Side Monitor can
communicate with up to 6 devices via HART Multidrop.
Micropilot S FMR540
Integrated in tank gauging
system
The Endress+Hauser Tank Side Monitor NRF 590 provides integrated communications for sites with multiple
tanks, each with one or more sensors on the tank, such as radar, spot or average temperature, capacitive probe
for water detection and/or pressure sensors. Multiple protocols out of the Tank Side Monitor guarantee
connectivity to nearly any of the existing industry standard tank gauging protocols. Optional connectivity of
analog 4...20 mA sensors, digital I/O and analog output simplify full tank sensor integration. Use of the proven
concept of the intrinsically safe HART bus for all on-tank sensors yields extremely low wiring costs, while at
the same time providing maximum safety, reliability and data availability.

Measured variable
The measured variable is the distance between the reference point (GRH, refer to fig. → ä 3) and a reflective
surface (i.e. medium surface).
The level is calculated based on the tank height entered.The level can be converted into other units (volume,
mass) by means of a linearization. In order to compensate for non-linear effects like movement of the tank roof,
an additional correction table (diptable) can be entered.
Antenna selection for
Micropilot S-series
It is essential for each and every application and installation to select the right antenna type.
The antenna selection depends on the following criteria:
• Type of application (i.e. free space vs. stilling well)
• Installation possibilities (size, location and height of nozzle)
• Properties of the product stored in the tank (radar reflectivitiy, vapor pressure, temperature, etc.)
• The Micropilot S FMR540 offers 2 radar antennas
For stilling well applications, FMR532 should be selected (see TI344F)
For measuring mediums with a low reflectivity (i.e. asphalts, bitumen and etc.), FMR533 should be selected
(see TI344)
Horn antenna
With DN100 (4") horn, this antenna is suitable for
most of custody transfer applications up to the
measuring distance of 20m/30m (depending on
dielectric constant). With the narrow beam angle (8
deg) , compared to FMR530, this horn antenna is
suitable for closer to tank wall application (→ ä 15)
When installing, it is essential that the horn extends
below the nozzle (→ ä 16).
L00-FMR530-10-00-00-yy-001
Parabolic antenna
The parabolic antenna offers the smallest beam angle
(4 deg) for free space applications. It also covers
longest measuring distance of 40m (dielectric
constant > 1.8). It is ideal for applications close to the
tank walls, where nozzles are available. When
installing, it is ideal that the parabolic antenna is
installed in the position where the reflector protrude
from the nozzle (→ ä 18). For measuring mediums
with a low reflectivity, such as asphalts and bitumen,
FMR533 (please, refer to TI344F) is recommended.

Measuring range
The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the mounting
location and possible interference reflections.
To achieve an optimised signal strength it is recommended to use an antenna with as large as possible diameter
(DN200/8" parabolic antenna).
The following tables describe the groups of media as well as the achievable measuring range as a function of
application and media group. If the dielectric constant of a medium is unknown, it is recommended to assume
media group B to ensure a reliable measurement.

Measuring conditions
• 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.
• In case of media with a low dielectric constant (groups A and B), 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 Fig.) above the tank bottom in
these applications.
• In principle it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna with FMR540. However, due to
considerations regarding corrosion and build-up, the end of the measuring range should not be chosen any
closer than A (see Fig.).
• B requests the smallest possible measuring range (see fig.).
• Tank diameter and height should be at least dimensioned such that a reflection of the radar signal on both
sides of the tank can be avoided.
• Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam surface.
Measurement is possible under certain conditions.

The 4-wire cable is connected to the screw terminals (wire diameter 0.5…2.5 mm) in the terminal
compartment. Use 4-wire twisted pair cable with screen for the connection.Protective circuitry against reverse
polarity, RFI, and over-voltage peaks is built into the device (refer to TI241F »basics for EMC-tests«). Refer to
TI374F for connection to the Tank Side Monitor NRF590.
Connection to Tank Side Monitor NRF590

The Micropilot S is - possibly in combination with other devices - connected
to a tank side monitor in a hazardous area. In this case, it is recommended
that you ground the cable screen centrally at the Tank Side Monitor and
connect all devices to the same potential matching line (PML). If, for functional
reasons, a capacitive coupling is required between local earth and screen
(multiple grounding), ceramic condensers with a dielectric strength of min. 1500 Veff
must be used, whereby the total capacitance of 10 nF must not be exceeded.

Overvoltage protector
• The level transmitter Micropilot S is equipped with an internal overvoltage protector (600 Vrms surge
arrester) according to DIN EN 60079-14 or IEC 60060-1 (impulse current test 8/20 μs, Î = 10 kA, 10
pulses). Additionally, the instrument is protected by a galvanic insulation of 500 Vrms between the power
supply and the (HART) current ouput. Connect the metallic housing of the Micropilot S to the tank wall or
screen directly with an electrically conductive lead to ensure reliable potential matching.
• Installation with additional overvoltage protector HAW262Z/HAW56xZ (see XA081F-A "Safety instructions
for electrical apparatus certified for use in explosion-hazardous areas").
– Connect the external overvoltage protector and the Micropilot S transmitter to the local potential
matching system.
– Potentials shall be equalised both inside and outside the explosion hazardous area.
– The cable connecting the overvoltage protector and the Micropilot S transmitter shall not exceed 1 m in
length;
– The cable shall be protected e.g. routed in an armoured hose.

Performance characteristics
Note
Performance characteristics for instruments that can be calibrated for inventory control and custody transfer
applications are ccording to weight & measure standards in compliance with OIML R85.General operating /
environmental conditions see → ä 19.
Reference operating
conditions
According to OIML R85:
• Temperature = –25…+55 °C (-13…+131 °F)
• Atmospheric pressure
• Relative humidity (air) = 60 % ±15%
• Medium properties: e.g. medium with good reflectivity and calm surface.
• Tank diameter: signal beam hits the tank wall only at one side.
• No major interference reflections inside the signal beam.
Maximum measured error
Absolute accuracy: better than ±1 mm (better than 1/16")
Software reliability
The software used in the radar instruments FMR540 fulfills the requirements of OIML R85. This particularly
includes:
• cyclical test of data consistency
• non-volatile memory
• segmented data storage
The radar instruments Micropilot S continuously monitor the compliance with accuracy requirements for
custody transfer measurements according to OIML R85. If the accuracy cannot be maintained, a specific alarm
is generated on the local display and via the digital communication (see → ä 25).
Hysteresis
0.1 mm
Long-term drift
The long-term drift is within the specified accuracy.
Influence of ambiente temperature
Current output (additional error, in reference to the span of 16 mA):
• Zero point (4 mA)
average TK: 0,025 %/10 K, max. 0,291 % over the entire temperature range -40 °C...+80 °C
• Span (20 mA)
average TK: 0,07 %/10 K, max. 0,824 % over the entire temperature range -40 °C...+80 °C
Proof of accuracy of custody
transfer versions
The accuracy of each Micropilot S is established through a calibration certificate that records the absolute and
relative error at 10 equidistant points during the final test. A Laser Interferometer (Jenaer Messtechnik ZLM
500) with an absolute accuracy of 0.1 mm is used as a reference for the free space measurements with
FMR540.
Additional initial factory verifications for custody applications are available on demand for all radar instruments
FMR540.
Non-repeatability
0.1 mm (1/64")
Resolution
Digital 0.1 mm / analogue (4...20 mA): 0.03 % of measuring range
Inventory control versions
All device types can be delivered as "Inventory Conctrol Versions" with a reduced accuracy of
± 3mm (under reference conditions). To these versions, the calibration certificate or custody transfer type
approval is NOT attached. The "Inventory Control Versions" can be selected by choosing the option "R" reduced accuracy" in the order code option »Custody transfer approvals« → ä 31.

Orientation
• Recommended distance (1) from tank wall to the
center of the nozzle: minimum as specified in Table
on → ä 15 (beam angle / distance to 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 (see
Accessories on → ä 32).
L00-FMR54xxx-17-00-00-yy-012
Tank installations
• Avoid any installations (1), like limit switches, temperature sensors, etc., inside the signal beam (refer
to beam angle → ä 15).
• It is essential that HiHi alarm is below the blocking
distance (BD) and the safety distance (SD).
• Symmetrical installations (2), e.g. vacuum rings,
heating coils, baffles, etc., can also interfere with
the measurement.
Optimisation 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" (→ ä 16).
• Stilling well: a stilling well can always be used to
avoid interference. The FMR532 with planar
antenna is recommended for stilling wells with a
diameter DN150 (6”) and larger.
• Metallic screens (3) mounted at a slope spread the
radar signals and can, therefore, reduce interference echoes.

Beam angle
The beam angle is defined as the angle a where the energy density of the radar waves reaches half the value of
the maximum energy density (3dB-width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the signal beam and can be
reflected off interfering installations. Beam diameter W is a function of antenna type (beam angle α) and
measuring distance D. The distance between the tank wall and the center of the sensor should be greater than
W/2. It is strongly recommended to avoid any mechanical obstacles within the highlighted area.

Cleaning of the antenna
The antenna can get contaminated, depending on the application. 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. 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. Use a screened cable when

Installation hints
The number of bolts has sometimes been reduced. The bolt-holes have been enlarged for adaption of
dimensions, therefore, the flange needs to be properly aligned to the counterflange before the bolts are
tightened.

Human interface
Operation concept
The display of the process value and the configuration of the Micropilot is done locally by means of a large 4line alphanumeric display with plain text information. The guided menu system with integrated help texts
ensures a quick, safe and easy commissioning.
Display and operation is selectable from one out of six languages (English, German, French, Italian, Dutch,
Spanish and Japanese). During the first start-up, the instrument explicitly asks for the desired unit / language.
To access the display the cover of the electronic compartment may be removed even in hazardous area (Ex ia,
IS).
Remote commissioning, including documentation of the measuring point and in-depth analysis functions, is
supported via the ToF Tool, the graphical operating software for Endress+Hauser time-of-flight systems.
Access to the electronics can be prevented by means of a custody locking switch that locks the device settings.
The custody locking switch can be sealed for custody transfer applications.
Display elements
Liquid crystal display (LCD):
Four lines with 20 characters each. Display contrast adjustable through key combination.
