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 beginning work, the specialist staff must have read and understood the
instructions in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation as well as
in the certificates (depending on the application)
‣Following instructions and basic conditions
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
‣Being instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by the
facility's owner-operator
‣Following the instructions in these Operating Instructions
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 mainly bulk solids. The device can also be
freely mounted outside closed metal vessels because of its operating frequency of about
26 GHz, a maximum radiated pulsed power of 23.3 mW and an average power output of
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.
Danger of burns due to heated surfaces!
‣For high process temperatures: Install protection against contact in order to prevent
burns.

Basic safety instructions Micropilot FMR56, FMR57
10 Endress+Hauser
2.3 Workplace safety
For work on and with the device:
‣Wear the required personal protective equipment according to federal/national
regulations.
2.4 Operational safety
Risk of injury.
‣Operate the device in proper technical condition and fail-safe condition only.
‣The operator is responsible for interference-free operation of the device.
Conversions to the device
Unauthorized modifications to the device are not permitted and can lead to unforeseeable
dangers.
‣If, despite this, modifications are required, consult with the manufacturer.
Repair
To ensure continued operational safety and reliability,
‣Carry out repairs on the device only if they are expressly permitted.
‣Observe federal/national regulations pertaining to repair of an electrical device.
‣Use original spare parts and accessories from the manufacturer only.
Hazardous area
To eliminate a danger for persons or for the facility when the device is used in the
hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety):
‣Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the
intended use in the hazardous area.
‣Observe the specifications in the separate supplementary documentation that is an
integral part of these Instructions.
2.5 Product safety
This measuring device is designed in accordance with good engineering practice to meet
state-of-the-art safety requirements, has been tested, and left the factory in a condition in
which they are safe to operate.
It meets general safety standards and legal requirements. It also complies with the EC

A0016883
• Recommended distance A from wall to
outer edge of nozzle: ~ 1/6 of vessel
diameter.
Nevertheless the device should not be
installed closer than 20 cm (7.87 in) to
the vessel wall.
If the wall of the vessel is not smooth
(corrugated metal, welding seams,
irregularities etc.) the distance from the
wall should be kept as large as possible.
If necessary, use an alignment device to
prevent interference reflections from
the wall (→  33).
• Not in the center (2), as interference can
cause signal loss.
• Not above the fill stream (3).
• It is recommended to us a weather
protection cover (1) in order to protect
the device from direct sun or rain.
• In extremely dusty applications, the
integrated air purge connection can
prevent clogging of the antenna
(→  34).

6.1.2 Vessel installations

A0018946
Avoid any installations (limit switches,
temperature sensors, braces etc.) inside
the signal beam. Take into account the
beam angle (→  23):

6.1.3 Reduction of interference echoes
a
b
A0016889
Metallic screens mounted at a slope
spread the radar signal and can, therefore,
reduce interference echoes.
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 signal beam (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.
