2 Basic safety instructions

2.1 Requirements for the personnel

The personnel for installation, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance must fulfill
the following requirements:
‣ Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task.
‣ Are authorized by the plant owner/operator.
‣ Are familiar with federal/national regulations.
‣ Before starting work, read and understand the instructions in the manual and
supplementary documentation as well as the certificates (depending on the
application).
‣ Follow instructions and comply with basic conditions.
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
‣ Are instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the facility's
owner-operator.
‣ Follow the instructions in this manual.

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 (e.g. above basins, open channels or
open piles) 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.

6.1.4 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 vessel (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.

6.1.5 Optimization options

• Antenna size
The bigger the antenna, the smaller the beam angle α and the fewer interference echoes
→  23.
• Mapping
The measurement can be optimized by means of electronic suppression of interference
echoes.
See the Confirm distance parameter (→  129) for details.
• Antenna alignment
Take into account the marker on the flange or threaded connection .
• Stilling well
A stilling well can be applied to avoid interferences →  30.
• Metallic screens mounted at a slope

5 Relationship between beam angle α, distance D and beamwidth diameter W

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.
• In stilling well applications, 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 A: 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).

antenna size - to unmount the horn before fastening the device and to mount it again
afterwards.
• Tighten with the hexagonal nut only.
• Tool : 55 mm hexagonal wrench
• Maximum permissible torque: 60 Nm (44 lbf ft)

6.4.2 Measurement from the outside through plastic walls (FMR50/

FMR51)
• Dielectric constant of the medium: εr > 10
• If possible, use an antenna 100 mm (4 in).
• The distance from the lower edge of the antenna to the tank ceiling should be about
100 mm (4 in).
• If possible, avoid mounting locations where condensation or build-up might occur.
• In case of outdoor mounting, the space between antenna and vessel has to be protected
from the elements.
• Do not mount any potential reflectors (e.g. pipes) outside the tank in the signal beam.

8 Installation in stilling well

1 Marking for antenna alignment

• For horn antenna: Align the marking towards the slots of the stilling well.
• Measurements can be performed through an open full bore ball valve without any
problems.
• After mounting, the housing can be turned 350° in order to facilitate access to the
display and the terminal compartment →  34.

6.5.1 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
left 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 metal 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.
• In the case of smaller nominal widths flanges must be welded to the pipe such that they
allow for a correct orientation (marker aligned toward slots).

ground terminal.
In order to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): Do not only ground the
device via the protective earth conductor of the supply cable. Instead, the functional
grounding must also be connected to the process connection (flange or threaded
connection) or to the external ground terminal.
An easily accessible power switch must be installed in the proximity of the device. The
power switch must be marked as a disconnector for the device (IEC/EN61010).

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.

If an incorrect access code is entered, the user obtains the access rights of the Operator
role.
The user role with which the user is currently logged on is indicated by the Access
status display parameter (for display operation) or Access status tooling parameter
(for tool operation).

8.2.3 Data access - Security

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 via local display

1. Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Administration → Define access code
→ Define access code
2. Define a max. 4-digit numeric code as an access code.
3. Repeat the same code in Confirm access code parameter.
 The -symbol appears in front of all write-protected parameters.

Define access code via operating tool (e.g. FieldCare)

1. Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Administration → Define access code
2. Define a max. 4-digit numeric code as an access code.
 Write protection is active.

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.
The device automatically locks the write-protected parameters again if a key is not pressed
for 10 minutes in the navigation and editing view. The device locks the write-protected
parameters automatically after 60 s if the user skips back to the measured value display
mode from the navigation and editing view.
• If write access is activated via access code, it can be also be deactivated only via the
access code →  58.
• In the "Description of Device Parameters" documents, each write-protected
parameter is identified with the -symbol.

Endress+Hauser 57
Operation options Micropilot FMR51, FMR52 HART

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.

Deactivation of the write protection via access code

Via local display

1. Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Administration → Define access code
→ Define access code
2. Enter 0000.
3. Repeat 0000 in Confirm access code parameter.
 The write protection is deactivated. Parameters can be changed without entering
an access code.

Via an operating tool (e.g. FieldCare)

1. Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Administration → Define access code
2. Enter 0000.
 The write protection is deactivated. Parameters can be changed without entering
an access code.

Write protection via write protection switch

Unlike parameter write protection via a user-specific access code, this allows write access
to the entire operating menu - except for the "Contrast display" parameter - to be locked.
The parameter values are now read only and cannot be edited any more (exception
"Contrast display" parameter):
• Via local display
• Via service interface (CDI)

12.7 Configuration management

After commissioning, you can save the current device configuration, copy it to another
measuring point or restore the previous device configuration. You can do so using the
Configuration management parameter and its options.
Navigation path in the operating menu
Setup → Advanced setup → Configuration backup display → Configuration management
Meaning of the options
• Cancel
No action is executed and the user exits the parameter.
• Execute backup
A backup copy of the current device configuration in the HistoROM (built-in in the
device) is saved to the display module of the device. The backup copy comprises the
transmitter and sensor data of the device.
• Restore
The last backup copy of the device configuration is copied from the display module to the
HistoROM of the device. The backup copy comprises the transmitter and sensor data of
the device.
• Duplicate
The transmitter configuration is duplicated to another device using the transmitter
display module. The following parameters, which characterize the individual measuring
point are not included in the transmitted configuration:
– HART date code
– HART short tag
– HART message
– HART descriptor
– HART address
– Device tag
– Medium type
• Compare
The device configuration saved in the display module is compared to the current device
configuration of the HistoROM. The result of this comparison is displayed in the
Comparison result parameter.
• Clear backup data
The backup copy of the device configuration is deleted from the display module of the
device.
While this action is in progress, the configuration cannot be edited via the local
display and a message on the processing status appears on the display.
If an existing backup is restored to a different device using the Restore option, it may
occur that some device functionalities are no longer available. In some cases even a
device reset →  177 will not restore the original status..
In order to transmit a configuration to a different device, the Duplicate option should
always be used.

14 Maintenance
The measuring device requires no special maintenance.

14.1 Exterior cleaning

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

14.2 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.

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).

15.1.4 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
→  174.
• Via FieldCare
Condition: The configuration of the old device has been saved to the computer via

• Medium
The evaluated echo exceeds the threshold by at least 5 dB.
• Weak
The evaluated echo exceeds the threshold by less than 5 dB.
• No signal
The device does not find a usable echo.
The signal quality indicated in this parameter always refers to the currently evaluated
echo: either the level echo or the tank bottome echo. To differentiate between these two,
the quality of the tank bottom echo echo is always displayed in brackets.
In case of a lost echo (Signal quality = No signal) the device generates the following
error message:

Additional information Meaning of the options

• Manual map
To be selected if the range of mapping is to be defined manually in the Mapping end
point parameter (→  131). In this case it is not necessary to confirm the distance.
• Distance ok
To be selected if the measured distance matches the actual distance. The device
performs a mapping.
• Distance unknown
To be selected if the actual distance is unknown. A mapping can not be performed in this
case.
• Distance too small
To be selected if the measured distance is smaller than the actual distance. The device
searches for the next echo and returns to the Confirm distance parameter. The distance
is recalculated and displayed. The comparison must be repeated until the displayed
distance matches the actual distance. After this, the recording of the map can be started
by selecting Distance ok.
• Distance too big 8)
To be selected if the measured distance exceeds the actual distance. The device adjusts
the signal evaluation and returns to the Confirm distance parameter. The distance is
recalculated and displayed. The comparison must be repeated until the displayed
distance matches the actual distance. After this, the recording of the map can be started
by selecting Distance ok.
• Tank empty
To be selected if the tank is completely empty. The device records a mapping covering
the complete measuring range as defined by the Tank/silo height parameter
(→  141). By default, Tank/silo height = Empty calibration.
Take into account that in case of conical outlets, for example, a measurement is only
possible up to the point at which the radar hits the bottom of the tank or silo. If the
Tank empty option is used, Empty calibration (→  127) and Tank/silo height may
not reach below this point as otherwise the empty signal is suppressed.
• Factory map
To be selected if the present mapping curve (if one exists) is to be deleted. The device
returns to the Confirm distance parameter and a new mapping can be recorded.
When operating via the display module, the measured distance is displayed together
with this parameter for reference purposes.
If the teaching procedure with the Distance too small option or the Distance too big
option is quit before the distance has been confirmed, a map is not recorded and the
teaching procedure is reset after 60 s.

Description Specify additional process conditions (if required).

Selection • Foam (>5cm/0,16ft)

• Changing DC values
• Small tanks (< 1m/3ft)

Factory setting None

Additional information "Foam (>5cm/0,16ft)" option

This option makes sure that no tank history is used which has been recorded while foam
was present at the surface and thus is no reliable map of the tank property. To achieve
this, the setting Evaluation mode = Long time history is deactivated.
The Foam (>5cm/0,16ft) option is only available for liquid applications (FMR50,
FMR51, FMR52, FMR53, FMR54).

"Changing DC values" option

A tank history which has been recorded with Evaluation mode = Long time history is
only valid for a fixed dielectric constant. The Changing DC values option disables the
setting Evaluation mode = Long time history and thus avoids wrong measuring values in
the case of a changing dielectric constant.
The Changing DC values option is only available for liquid applications (FMR50,
FMR51, FMR52, FMR53, FMR54).

"Small tanks (< 1m/3ft)" option

This option provides a simple possibility to reduce the echo width of the sensor module.
This enables an improved detection of superimposed echos - especially in the near field.
Internally, all paramters related to the echo width are adjusted by this option.
The Small tanks (< 1m/3ft) option is only available for liquid measurements with 26
GHz HF module (FMR50, FMR51, FMR52).

Additional information Signals in the blocking distance are only evaluated if they have been outside the blocking
distance when the device was switched on and move into the blocking distance due to a
level change during operation. Signals which are already in the blocking distance when the
device is switched on, are ignored.
This behavior is only valid if the following two conditions are met:
• Expert → Sensor → Echo tracking → Evaluation mode = Short time history or Long
time history
• Expert → Sensor → Gas phase compensation → GPC mode= On, Without correction
or External correction
If one of these conditions is not met, signals in the blocking distance will always be
ignored.
If required, a different behavior for signals in the blocking distance can be defined by
the Endress+Hauser service.

Additional information A total of 1000 measured values can be logged. This means:
• 1000 data points if 1 logging channel is used
• 500 data points if 2 logging channels are used
• 333 data points if 3 logging channels are used
• 250 data points if 4 logging channels are used
If the maximum number of data points is reached, the oldest data points in the data log
are cyclically overwritten in such a way that the last 1000, 500, 333 or 250 measured
values are always in the log (ring memory principle).
The logged data are deleted if a new option is selected in this parameter.

Logging interval 

Navigation  Diagnostics → Data logging → Logging interval

 Diagnostics → Data logging → Logging interval

Description Define the logging interval tlog for data logging. This value defines the time interval
between the individual data points in the memory.

* Visibility depends on order options or device settings

Endress+Hauser 189
Operating menu Micropilot FMR51, FMR52 HART

Factory setting 30.0 s

Additional information This parameter 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 = 1000 ⋅ t log
• If 2 logging channels are used: T log = 500 ⋅ t log
• If 3 logging channels are used: T log = 333 ⋅ t log
• If 4 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 logged data are deleted if this parameter is changed.

Example
When using 1 logging channel
• Tlog = 1000 ⋅ 1 s = 1 000 s ≈ 16.5 min
• Tlog = 1000 ⋅ 10 s = 1 000 s ≈ 2.75 h
• Tlog = 1000 ⋅ 80 s = 80 000 s ≈ 22 h
• Tlog = 1000 ⋅ 3 600 s = 3 600 000 s ≈ 41 d
