New Micropilot Radar Level Sensor:
Designed for Special Demands
The new Micropilot FMR63B 80 GHz radar level sensor satisfies the strictest hygiene requirements of the
pharmaceutical and food industries while also meeting your demands for efficiency, precision, compliance,
simplicity, and safety.
The new generation of Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors meets the requirements of many process industries
for greater simplicity, product safety and efficiency in relation to plant processes. For users of level
measurement technology in the life sciences or food industry, other factors include uncompromising levels of
hygiene, turbulent surfaces, foam formation or narrow tanks. With the Micropilot FMR63B, Endress+Hauser
pledges to meet your unique requirements. A hygienic stainless-steel housing, improved measuring speed,
Heartbeat Technology with Radar Accuracy Index (RAI), Ethernet-APL, an antenna with a narrow beam
angle, optimized algorithms and operating assistants are features that make the Micropilot the ideal
measuring device for a wide range of hygienically challenging applications.
Optimal measurement performance
and predictive maintenance without
process interruptions are key
benefits of the new Micropilot
FMR63B (tracking link: https://
eh.digital/3DsDglS) that can increase
profits and reduce costs. They include
early detection of anomalies with realtime
data via Heartbeat Technology
with foam and buildup detection, as
well as a high level of process safety
and extended calibration cycles
thanks to Endress+Hauser’s patented
Heartbeat Technology Radar Accuracy
Index (RAI). These features increase
productivity and efficiency.
Customers with sensitive plants and
processes in the life sciences, food or
beverage industries, for example, can
now also enjoy these benefits thanks
to the new hygienic design of the
Micropilot FMR63B, which is approved
for even the most rigorous compliance
requirements, such as EHEDG, 3-A
or ASME BPE (in the latest available
version from 2022). Measurement is
contactless, i.e. there is no contact
with the medium. In addition, since
the sensor comprises one single piece,
the need for additional seals, which
could become damaged or fall into the
medium, is eliminated.
The latest member of the large 80 GHz
radar range from Endress+Hauser
is therefore suited to a wide range
of applications, from bioreactors to
mixing tanks to storage or fermentation
tanks. The Micropilot FMR63B also
proves reliable in hygienic solids
applications, such as milk powder.
Compatibility with external cleaning
systems, such as H2O2, means that
it can be easily installed even in
cleanrooms and similar environments,
such as ultrapure water tanks for
injection solution, where strict levels of
hygiene apply. The automatic creation
of checksum parameters (CRC) also
assists with compliance. Unintentional
changes to configuration parameters
are detected immediately, inspections
Increased productivity thanks to process monitoring, verification and diagnostics in the running
process with Heartbeat Technology.

for continuous non-contact level
measurement in hygienic applications.
