Field of application

The Micropilot FMR30B is a compact radar level sensor for continuous, non‑contact measurement in liquids and bulk solids. Powered by 80GHz W‑band radar technology, it provides a highly focused beam for stable performance, even in narrow spaces, outdoor basins, or small vessels with internal structures. Guided setup wizards streamline commissioning, while Bluetooth access via the SmartBlue app and a built‑in color touch display support convenient local or remote operation. Built from robust PVDF and PBT/PC, it withstands harsh environments across water, wastewater, utility, and solids applications. With a measuring range up to 30m (98ft), approvals for hazardous areas, food contact, and drinking water, and compatibility with 4–20mA HART systems, the FMR30B is a reliable, versatile choice for storage tanks, silos, and everyday level tasks.

Features

  • Bluetooth connectivity: Encrypted and reliable wireless access for parameterization and device checks.
  • Intuitive local operation: A color touch display enables comfortable setup and device navigation on-site.
  • Straightforward device selection: Clear segmentation and configuration support help users choose and set up the right device quickly.
  • Fast commissioning and operation: Setup wizards simplify installation, ensuring rapid startup.
  • Easy device identification: The “It’s‑me” function flashes the display when connecting via Bluetooth, making identification easy in multi-device environments.
  • Up to 30m/98ft range for both liquids and solids
