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).

Endress+Hauser 13
Installation Micropilot FMR10

• 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.

7.1.4 Alignment
• Align the antenna vertically to the product surface.
• Align the eyelet with the mounting eye as well as possible towards the tank wall.

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

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.

3 m (9.8 ft) 1.61 m (5.28 ft)

5 m (16.4 ft) 2.68 m (8.79 ft)

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 flooding protection tube is available as an accessory; order number 71325090.

Material PBT-PC metallized. Tube is suitable for 40 mm (1.5 in) antenna with G1-1/2
process connection on front.
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.

Configuring the blocking distance when using the flooding protection tube
‣ Navigate to: Main menu → Setup → Advanced setup → Blocking distance
 Enter 100 mm (4 in).

8. Navigate to: Setup → Confirm distance

 Compare the distance displayed with the actual value to start recording an
interference echo map
9. Navigate to: Setup → Mapping end point
 This parameter determines the distance up to which the new mapping is to be
recorded
10. Navigate to: Setup → Present mapping
 Displays the distance up to which a mapping has already been recorded

10.3.1 Displaying level value as %

In combination Full calibration with Empty calibration and given 4 to 20 mA output signal,
the level value for 4 mA (=Empty) and the level value for 20 mA (=Full) can be determined
directly in the unit of length used.
The Full calibration can be used to calculate a standardized signal proportionate to the level
e.g. 0 to 100 % level. The two basic values of 0 % and 100 % can in turn be assigned directly
to the analog output values 4 mA and 20 mA.

X Level in m Y Output signal as %

X1 0.00 m (0.00 ft) Y1 0%

X2 Value F (=Full) Y2 100 %

Configuration using SmartBlue

1. Navigate to: Main menu → Setup → Advanced setup → Linearization type
 Select table as the linearization type
2. Select linearization table
3. X1 = Specify level value in m / ft for 0 %
4. X2 = Specify level value in m / ft for 100 %
5. Activate linearization table

10.4 Data access - Security

10.4.1 Software locking via access code in SmartBlue
The configuration data can be write-protected using an access code (software locking).

‣ Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Administration → Administration1 → Define

access code → Confirm access code
The entered code must be different from "0000" and the last release code.

Once the access code has been defined, write-protected devices can be switched to
maintenance mode only if the access code is entered in the Enter access code parameter. If
the factory setting is not changed or if 0000 is entered, the device is in maintenance mode
and its configuration data are therefore not write-protected and can be changed at any time.

10.4.2 Unlocking via SmartBlue

‣ Navigate to: Setup → Advanced setup → Zugriffsrechte Bediensoftware → Enter access code
10.4.3 Bluetooth® wireless technology
Signal transmission via Bluetooth® wireless technology is done by an ecryption method
tested by the Fraunhofer-Institut (Third Party).
• Without the SmartBlue App, the device is not visible via Bluetooth® wireless technology
• Only one point-to-point connection between one sensor and one smartphone or tablet is
established.
• The Bluetooth® wireless technology interface can be deactivated in SmartBlue

Deactivate Bluetooth® wireless technology interface

‣ Navigate to: Setup → Communication → Bluetooth configuration → Bluetooth mode
 Switch off Bluetooth® wireless technology interface. "Off" position disables remote
access via app

Re-activate Bluetooth® wireless technology interface

If Bluetooth® wireless technology interface was disabled, it can be re-activated only after
performing the following recovery sequence:

1. Connect device to voltage supply

 After a waiting time of 10 minutes, a time window of 2 minutes opens
2. During this time window it is possible to re-activate the FMR10 Bluetooth® wireless
technology interface using SmartBlue (app)
3. Navigate to: Setup → Communication → Bluetooth configuration → Bluetooth mode
 Switch on Bluetooth® wireless technology interface. "On" position enables remote
access via app
