Endress Hauser Micropilot FMR56 Radar Level Transmitter for Bulk Solids and Industrial Applications
Product Overview
The Endress Hauser Micropilot FMR56 is an economic radar level transmitter designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of powdery to granular solids in silos, bins, and storage tanks. Utilizing advanced time-of-flight technology, it operates at 26GHz (K-band) for precise detection, unaffected by dust, filling noises, or temperature variations. The device supports 2-wire (HART/PROFIBUS PA) and 4-wire (HART) communication, with optional Bluetooth connectivity for remote configuration. Its PP-plated horn antenna ensures easy alignment and durability in harsh environments.
