Increased safety

With our 20 years of SIL expertise, you can minimize testing costs, protect staff and the environment in a sustainable manner. Systematic errors are reduced through the use of wizards for commissioning, SIL locking and proof testing. Easy remote access to the measuring devices ensures that your staff stay out of hazardous areas.

Simplicity

In today’s complex world, simplicity is a virtue. Utilizing Micropilot’s new Commissioning Wizard, you not only reduce “menu hopping” but it also requires very little training to successfully commission the instrument. The Commissioning Wizard can be accessed using the local display, DTM based software such as DeviceCare or on a smartphone or tablet using the SmartBlue App. The intuitive, instrument guided process walks you through the process quickly and with fewer errors than traditional methods.

Radar sensors that meet your application needs

No matter what requirements your application may require, the Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensor can ensure accurate and reliable level measurement. Learn more about how this technology can ensure efficient processes in the following applications:

Solid applications

For customers in the mining, minerals and metal industry, our 80 GHz radar sensors make the business of running a plant easier in every respect. You benefit from the versatility and easy operation of the devices.

Hygienic applications

The non-contact Micropilot FMR63B stainless-steel measuring device can be cleaned with aggressive cleaning agents and meets the highest compliance standards. This makes it ideal for use in hygienic applications where strict standards must be met. Heartbeat Technology with foam and build-up detection, as well as the Radar Accuracy Index increase efficiency and allow calibration cycles to be extended.

Demanding applications

In the chemical and oil and gas industry, functional safety, human safety and error prevention are key. Our 80 GHz radar sensors can be used up to 450 °C and 160 bar, have been developed in accordance with IEC 61508. In the water and wastewater industry, it is important to have level measurement that can reliably detect foam in your applications to avoid risk of plant shutdowns.
