Micropilot FMR60B is part of the new generation of 80 GHz radar sensors. It is used for continuous non-contact level measurement in simple liquid applications with small process connections. Wizards guide users through commissioning, proof tests and verification of the devices and thus guarantee a simple operation. Heartbeat Technology offers verification and monitoring functions to identify anomalies for more safety and increased productivity.
Micropilot FMR60B is suitable for free-space applications up to 50m and offers high beam focusing for vessels with many internal fittings.
