1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The Micropilot S is a compact radar level transmitter for the continuous, contactless measurement
of liquids. The device can also be freely mounted outside closed metal vessels because of its
operating frequency of about 6 GHz and a maximum radiated pulsed energy of 1 mW (average
power output 1 μW). Operation is completely harmless to humans and animals.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
The Micropilot S has been designed to operate safely in accordance with current technical, safety
and EU standards. If installed incorrectly or used for applications for which it is not intended,
however, it is possible that application-related dangers may arise, e.g. product overflow due to
incorrect installation or calibration. For this reason, the device must be installed, connected,
operated and maintained according to the instructions in this manual: personnel must be authorised
and suitably qualified. The manual must have been read and understood, and the instructions
followed. Modifications and repairs to the device are permissible only when they are expressly
approved in the manual.
1.3 Operational safety and process safety
Alternative monitoring measures must be taken to ensure operational safety and process safety
during configuration, testing and maintenance work on the device.
1.3.1 Hazardous areas
Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of this Operating Manual. Strict compliance with the
installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is mandatory.
• Ensure that all personnel are suitably qualified.
• Observe the specifications in the certificate as well as national and local regulations.
1.3.2 FCC-approval
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
"Caution!
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

3.3.2 Engineering hints
Orientation
• Recommended distance (1) wall - outer edge
of nozzle: ~1/6 of tank diameter
("Beam angle", →ä12).
• Mount the Micropilot S at a position where
the tank movement due to filling/emptying of
the tank is of low influence.
• 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 ("Accessories", →ä68).
L00-FMR533xx-17-00-00-yy-009
Tank installations
• Avoid any installations (1), like limit
switches, temperature sensors, etc., inside the
signal beam (refer to beam angle
("Beam angle", →ä12).
• 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.
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: "Optimum mounting
position", →ä16.
• 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 αwhere 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.

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.
•Foroverspill protection, it is possible to define a safety distance (SD) additionally to the
blocking distance (BD).
• Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam
surface. Measurement is possible under certain conditions.
• The smallest possible measuring range Bdepends on the antenna version (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 ruled out ("Beam angle", →ä12).
• 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 applications with parabolic antenna, especially for media with low dielectric constants
(media group A and B, →ä14) , the end of the measuring range should not be closer than
1 m (40") to the flange (cf. BD in Fig.).
• The safety distance (SD) is set to 0.5 m (20") by default, generating an alarm in case the product
level rises inside the safety distance.

Behaviour if measuring range is exceeded
The behaviour in case of the measuring range being exceeded can be freely set:
The default setting is a current of 22 mA and the generation of a digital warning (E681).

Measuring range
The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium, the
mounting location, and eventual interference reflections.
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 range depending on product class
Media group DC (εr) Examples
A1.4 to 1.9 non-conducting liquids, e.g. liquefied gas (LPG). For more information please contact
your Endress+Hauser representative.
B1.9 to 4 non-conducting liquids, e.g. benzene, oil, toluene, white products, black products,
crudes, bitumen/asphalts, …
C4 to 10 e.g. concentrated acids, organic solvents, esters, aniline, alcohol, acetone, …

Installation hints
Endress+Hauser UNI flanges are designed for non-pressurized operation respectively max. 1 bar
absolute pressure. 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.
