Basic safety instructions Micropilot FMR63B PROFINET with Ethernet-APL
8 Endress+Hauser
2 Basic safety instructions
2.1 Requirements for 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.
‣Personnel must be authorized by the plant owner/operator.
‣Be familiar with federal/national regulations.
‣Before starting work: personnel must read and understand the instructions in the
manual and supplementary documentation as well as the certificates (depending on
the application).
‣Personnel must follow instructions and comply with general policies.
The operating personnel must fulfill the following requirements:
‣Personnel are instructed and authorized according to the requirements of the task by
the facility's owner-operator.
‣Personnel follow the instructions in this manual.
2.2 Intended use
Application and media
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is intended for continuous,
non-contact level measurement in liquids, pastes and sludges. The operating frequency is
approx. 80 GHz with a maximum radiated peak power of 6.3 mW and an average output
power of 63 µW. Operation does not pose any danger whatsoever to humans and animals.
If the limit values specified in the "Technical data" and the conditions listed in the
instructions and additional documentation are observed, the measuring device may be
used for the following measurements only:
‣Measured process variables: level, distance, signal strength
‣Calculable process variables: volume or mass in any shape of vessel
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣Use the measuring device only for media against which the process-wetted materials
are adequately resistant.
‣Observe the limit values in the "Technical data".
Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-intended use.
Avoid mechanical damage:
‣Do not touch or clean device surfaces with pointed or hard objects.
Clarification of borderline cases:
‣For special fluids and fluids for cleaning, Endress+Hauser is glad to provide assistance
in verifying the corrosion resistance of fluid-wetted materials, but does not accept any
warranty or liability.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process as well as power loss in the electronics, the
temperature of the electronics housing and the assemblies it contains (e.g. display module,
main electronics module and I/O electronics module) may rise to 80 °C (176 °F). When in
operation, the sensor may reach a temperature close to the medium temperature.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣For elevated fluid temperatures, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.

Micropilot FMR63B PROFINET with Ethernet-APL Basic safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 9
2.3 Workplace safety
When working on and with the device:
‣Wear the required personal protective equipment according to federal/national
regulations.
‣Switch off the supply voltage before connecting the device.
2.4 Operational safety
Risk of injury!
‣Operate the device only if it is in proper technical condition, free from errors and faults.
‣The operator is responsible for the interference-free operation of the device.
Modifications to the device
Unauthorized modifications to the device are not permitted and can lead to unforeseeable
dangers:
‣If modifications are nevertheless 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 the repair of an electrical device.
‣Use only original spare parts and accessories from the manufacturer.
Hazardous area
To eliminate danger to persons or the installation when the device is used in the
hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety):
‣Check the nameplate to verify whether the ordered device can be put to its intended
use in the hazardous area.
‣Observe the specifications in the separate supplementary documentation, which is an
integral part of this manual.
2.5 Product safety
This 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 it is
safe to operate.
It meets the general safety standards and legal requirements. It also complies with the EU
directives listed in the device-specific EU Declaration of Conformity. Endress+Hauser
confirms this by affixing the CE mark to the device.
2.6 IT security
We only provide a warranty if the device is installed and used as described in the
Operating Instructions. The device is equipped with security mechanisms to protect it
against any inadvertent changes to the device settings. IT security measures in line with
operators' security standards and designed to provide additional protection for the device
and device data transfer must be implemented by the operators themselves.
2.7 Device-specific IT security
The device offers specific functions to support protective measures by the operator. These
functions can be configured by the user and guarantee greater in-operation safety if used
correctly. An overview of the most important functions is provided in the following section:

Service interface (CDI) Enabled On an individual basis following risk assessment
Write protection via hardware write protection switch Not enabled On an individual basis following risk assessment
2.7.1 Protecting access via a password
Different passwords are available to protect write access to the parameters of the device.
Protect write access to the parameters of the device via the local display, Web browser or
operating tool (e.g. FieldCare, DeviceCare). Access authorization is clearly regulated
through the use of a user-specific access code.
User-specific access code
Write access to the parameters of the device via the local display, Web browser or
operating tool (e.g. FieldCare, DeviceCare) can be protected using the editable, user-
specific access code.
When delivered, the device does not have an access code and this code corresponds to
0000 (open).
General notes on the use of passwords
• During commissioning, change the access code used when the device was delivered
• When defining and managing the access code, comply with the general rules for the
generation of a secure password
• The user is responsible for managing the access code and for using the code with due
care

Resetting the device
2.7.2 Access via Web server
Thanks to the integrated Web server, the device can be operated and configured using a
Web browser and via PROFINET with Ethernet-APL. In addition to the measured values,
status information on the device is displayed and can be used to monitor device health.
Furthermore the device data can be managed and the network parameters can be
configured.
Access to the network is required for the PROFINET with Ethernet-APL connection.
Supported functions
Data exchange between the operating unit (such as a notebook, for example,) and
measuring device:
• Export parameter settings (PDF file, create documentation of the measuring point
configuration)
• Export the Heartbeat Technology verification report (PDF file, only available with the
"Heartbeat Verification" application package)
• Download driver (GSDML) for system integration
The Web server is enabled when the device is delivered. The Web server can be disabled
via the Web server functionality parameter if necessary (e.g., after commissioning).
The device and status information can be hidden on the login page. This prevents
unauthorized access to the information.
