Brief operating instructions
Note!
This operating manual explains the installation and initial start-up for the level transmitter measuring device. All
functions that are required for a typical measuring task are taken into account here.
In addition, the Micropilot S provides many other functions that are not included in this operating manual, such as
optimising the measuring point and converting the measured values.
An overview of all device functions can be found on Page 90.
The operating manual BA 217F/00/en provides an extensive description of all device functions – Description of the
device functions for Micropilot S, which can also be found on the enclosed CD-ROM.

1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The Micropilot S FMR 533 is a compact radar level transmitter for the continuous,
contactless measurement of liquids, pastes and sludge in stilling wells. 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 1mW (average
power output 1
µ W). 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 instrument 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
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.
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.

1.4 Return
The following procedures must be carried out before a transmitter is sent to
Endress+Hauser for repair:
•Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Endress +Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
•Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as
per EN 91/155/EEC.
•Remove all residue which may be present. Pay special attention to the gasket grooves
and crevices where fluid may be present. This is especially important if the fluid is
dangerous to health, e.g. corrosive, poisonous, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.
!
Note!
A copy of the “Declaration of contamination”is included at the end of this operating
manual.
"
Caution!
•No instrument should be sent back for repair without all dangerous material being
completely removed first, e.g. in scratches or diffused through plastic.
•Incomplete cleaning of the instrument may result in waste disposal or cause harm to
personnel (burns, etc.). Any costs arising from this will be charged to the operator of
the instrument.

3.3.2 Engineering hints
Orientation
•Recommended distance (1) wall –outer
edge of nozzle: ~ 1/6 of tank diameter.
•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 (see
»Accessories«on page 74).
Tank installations
•Avoid any installations (1), like limit
switches, temperature sensors, etc.,
inside the signal beam (refer to beam
angle).
•It is essential that HiHi alarm is below the
blocking distance (BD) and teh safety
distance (SD) (see page 15).
•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: refer to "optimum
mounting position"
•Stilling well: a stilling well can always be
used to avoid interference. The FMR 532
with planar antenna is recommended for
stilling wells with a diameter DN150 (6”)
and larger.
Please contact Endress+Hauser for
further information.

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.
•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. In order to guarantee the required
accuracy in these cases, it is recommended to position the zero-point at a distance C
above the tank bottom (see Fig.).
•In applications with planar or parabolic antennas, especially for media with low
dielectric constants (see page 16), the end of the measuring range should not be
closer than 1 m (40”) to the flange.
•For overspill protection, it is possible to define a safety distance (SD) additionally to
the blocking distance (BD).
•This safety distance (SD) is set to 0.5 m (20") by default and generating an alarm in
case the level rises inside the safety distance.
•For Micropilot S FMR 533 with parabolic antenna, this safety distance should be set
to 0.5 m (20"). The response of the signal output should be configured to "alarm
" in
function "in safety dist. (016)" see operating manual "Description of the instrument
functions – BA 217F".
•Distance Bdefined the smallest recommended measurement range.
•Depending on its consistence, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off
the foam surface. Measurement is possible under certain conditions.
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.
1) Treat Ammonia NH3 as a medium of group A, e.g. always use a stilling well.
Measuring range depending on product class for Micropilot S FMR 533:

Inside the blocking distance, a reliable measurement can not be guaranteed.

3.4 Installation instructions
3.4.1 Mounting kit
In addition to the tool needed for flange mounting, you will require the following tool:
•4 mm Allen wrench for turning the housing.
3.4.2 Installation in tank (free space)
Optimum mounting position
Stand ard instal lation
When mounting in tank, please observe engineering hints on Page 13 and the following
points:
•Marker is aligned towards tank wall.
•The marker is located below the housing at the neck of the flange.
•After mounting, the housing can be turned 350°in order to simplify access to the
display and the terminal compartment.
•The parabolic mirror must extend below the nozzle.
•Align parabolic antenna vertically.
Mounting in manway
The parabolic antenna can be mounted on a manway cover.
The manway cover must have an opening with a diameter D1 or D2 for mounting of the
antenna (refer to fig. below). It has to be possible to remove the cover in order to mount
the antenna. The instrument can be mounted on the manway cover with a weld-on
flange with a neck. Please consider the maximum height of the nozzle (H max. = 200
mm) for the diameter of the basis.
