Measuring principle
The Micropilot is a "downward-looking" measuring system that functions according to the time-of-
flight (ToF) method. It measures the distance from the reference point R to the product surface.
Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and received again by
the radar system.

R

F

D

L
Level (L = E - D)
Input
The reflected radar pulses are received by the antenna and transmitted to the electronics. A
microprocessor evaluates the signals and identifies the level echo caused by the reflection of the
radar pulses at the product surface. This clear signal detection system benefits from over 30 years'
experience with time-of-flight procedures.
The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the time of flight t of the pulse:
D = c · t/2,
where c is the speed of light.
Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated:
L = E – D
Output
The device is adjusted by entering the empty distance E (= zero point) and the full distance F (=
span).
Digital output (SmartBlue): 0 to 10 m (0 to 32.8 ft)
Input
Measured variable
The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface.
The level is calculated based on E, the empty distance entered.

Installation requirements
• No agitators
• No buildup
• Relative dielectric constant εr > 2
Contact Endress+Hauser for lower εr values
Usable measuring range
The usable measuring range depends on the medium's reflective properties, the installation position
and any possible interference reflections.
Optimum results are achieved with coarse-grained material and the use of the flooding protection
tube.
Reduction of the max. possible measuring range by:
• Media with bad reflective properties (= low εr value)
• Product cone
• Extremely loose surfaces of bulk solids, e.g. bulk solids with low bulk weight in the case of
pneumatic filling.
• Formation of buildup, particularly of moist products.
For dielectric constants (DC values) of many media commonly used in various industries refer
to:
• the Endress+Hauser DC manual (CP01076F)
• the Endress+Hauser "DC Values App" (available for Android and iOS)

Linearization
The linearization function of the device allows the conversion of the measured value into any unit of
length, weight, flow or volume. When operating via Modbus, linearization tables are pre-
programmed for the calculation of the volume in vessels (see the following list).

Measured variables via
Modbus protocol
The 8 most important process parameters are mapped as burst parameters to the first addresses in
the Modbus address range. This means that these parameters can be read out in one measurement
transmission. All parameters are available in the Float32 format.
The register address must be incremented by one (register address +1) when using the
Memograph M RSG45 or Fieldgate FXA30b Modbus master. This can also apply for other
masters.

Calculation example
Assumed configuration
• RTU: E+H FXA30B with battery (7.2 V, 14.5 Ah)
• Modbus: single-shot mode switched on/off via RTU
• Switch on power supply every 15 min and leave switched on for 30 s
Power consumption with Vcc = 7.2 V
• Start-up: 33 mW + (7.2 V - 24 V) × 0.28 = 28.3 mW
• Measurement: 39 mW + (7.2 V - 24 V) × 0.28 = 34.3 mW
• Power save mode: 30 mW + (7.2 V - 24 V) × 0.28 = 25.3 mW
Energy of a measurement:
E= 8 s × 28.3 mW + 3 s × 34.3 mW + (30 s - 8 s - 3 s) × 25.3 mW = 810 mWs
Number of measurements:
7.2 V × 14.5 Ah × 3 600 / 0.810 Ws = ~ 460 000 measurements
Operating life:
460 000 × 15 min = 4 790 days = 13 years
The energy consumption of the RTU is not taken into consideration!
Starting time
Until the 1st measured value:
• 11 s (typically)
• 15 s (maximum)
Until full accuracy:
• 15 s (typically)
• 20 s (maximum)
Power supply failure
The configuration remains stored in the sensor.

Installation position on a vessel
• If possible install the sensor so that its lower edge is inside the vessel.
• Recommended distance A wall - nozzle outer edge: ~ ¹⁄₆ of the vessel diameter. Under no
circumstances should the device be mounted closer than 15 cm (5.91 in) to the vessel wall.
• Do not install the sensor in the middle of the vessel.
• Avoid measurements through the filling curtain.
• Avoid internal fixtures such as limit switches.
• No signals are evaluated within the Blocking distance (BD). It can therefore be used to suppress
interference signals (e.g. the effects of condensate) in the vicinity of the antenna.
An automatic Blocking distance of at least 0.1 m (0.33 ft) is configured as standard. However, this
can be overwritten manually (0 m (0 ft) is also permitted).
Automatic calculation:
Blocking distance = Empty calibration - Full calibration - 0.2 m (0.656 ft).
Each time a new entry is made in the Empty calibration parameter or Full calibration parameter,
the Blocking distance parameter is recalculated automatically using this formula.
If the result of the calculation is a value <0.1 m (0.33 ft), the Blocking distance of 0.1 m (0.33 ft)
will continue to be used.
Nozzle installation
The antenna should project out of the nozzle for optimum measurement. The interior of the nozzle
must be smooth and may not contain any edges or welded joints. The edge of the nozzle should be
rounded if possible.

Relationship between beam angle α, distance D and beamwidth diameter W
The beam angle is defined as the angle α at which the power energy of the radar waves reaches half
the value of the maximum power density (3dB width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the
signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.

If the outer wall of the vessel is made of a non-conductive material (e.g. GFR), microwaves can
also be reflected by interfering installations outside of the vessel.
Optimization options
• Adjustable flange seal: The device can be aligned with the product surface using the adjustable
flange seal.
• Alignment unit:
In the case of devices with an alignment unit, the sensor can be optimally aligned with the
conditions at the vessel. The maximum angle β is ± 15 °.
The purpose of sensor alignment is primarily to:
• Prevent interference reflections
• Increase the maximum possible measuring range in conical outlets
• Please ensure there are no interfering installations made of a conductive material in the signal
beam (see the beam angle section for information on calculating the beamwidth diameter).
For more information: contact the Endress+Hauser sales organization.

The tube is screwed directly onto the sensor and seals off the system by means of an O-ring making
it air-tight. In the event of flooding, the empty space that develops in the tube ensures a defined
detection of the maximum level directly at the end of the tube. Due to the fact that the Blocking
distance is inside the tube, multiple echoes are not analyzed.
