2 Function and system design Measuring principle The Micropilot S is a top mounted measuring system, operating on the time-of-flight method. It measures the distance from the reference point (process connection) to the product surface. Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product surface and are received by the antenna. Flange: reference point of measurement 20 ma 100% E F D Flange: reference point of measurement L 4mA 0% Input A microprocessor evaluates the signal and identifies the level echo created by the reflection of the radar impulse at the product surface. The unambiguous signal identification is accomplished by our PulseMaster software algorithms that are based on many years of experience with time-of-flight technology. The distance D to the product surface is proportional to the travel time t of the impulse: D = c x t/2, with c being the speed of light Based on the known empty distance E, the level L is calculated: L = E - D Refer to the figure above for the reference point for E. The Micropilot S is equipped with functions to suppress interference echoes (tank mapping). The user can activate these functions which ensure that interference echoes (i.e. from edges and weld seams) are not interpreted as level echoes. Output The Micropilot S is commissioned by entering an empty distance E (= zero), a full distance F (= span), and an application parameter. The application parameter automatically adapts the instrument to the measuring conditions. The data points E and F correspond to 4 ma and 20 ma for instruments with current output. 0% to 100% is shown for digital outputs and the display module. A linearization with maximum 32 points, based on a table entered either manually or semiautomatically, can be activated locally or remotely. This function provides a measurement in engineering units and a linear output signal for spheres, horizontal cylindrical tanks, and vessels with conical outlets. 2

3 % Micropilot S Measuring system Stand-alone The Micropilot S can be used for measurement in a stilling well / bypass pipe as well as in free space. The different instrument versions are applied as follows: The Micropilot S FMR 532 with planar antenna is the preferred device in stilling wells 6 (150 mm). The Micropilot S FMR 530 with horn antenna can be used in with a diameter < 6 (150 mm). For these diameters, custody transfer approval is not available. The Micropilot S FMR 533 with parabolic antenna is preferred for free-space measurement. The FMR 530 with horn antenna can be used as an alternative for small nozzle diameters. The Micropilot S FMR 531 with rod antenna (PTFE) should be used for measurements in highly aggressive processes (such as sulphur). The instrument is equipped with a passive 4 to 20 ma output with HART protocol. The complete measuring system consists of: On-site operation: With display and operating module VU 331. With a Personal Computer, FXA 193 and the operating software ToF Tool. The ToF Tool is a graphical operating software for all instruments from that operate based on the time-of-flight principle (radar, ultrasonic, guided micro-impulse). It assists with commissioning, securing data, signal analysis, and creating documentation for the measuring point. Remote operation: With HART hand held DXR 275. With a PC, Commubox FXA 191 and Commuwin II operating software or the ToF Tool. With a PC, TSM (Tank Side Monitor) and operating software FuelsManager. 3

4 ENDRESS + HAUSER % + E Micropilot S System integration via Rackbus Multiple Micropilot S transmitters (or other instruments) can be connected to a higher level bus system via a Gateway ZA: Each HART transmitter via one interface module FXN 672 Gateways are available for MODBUS, FIP, Profibus, Interbus, etc. Both on-site and remote operation are possible. Integration into the Asset Management System The HART interface allows the integration into the AMS (Asset Management System) from Fisher-Rosemount. Custody transfer applications The Micropilot S is suitable for custody transfer and inventory control applications. The on-site testing has to be done in compliance with the applicable regulatory standards. The Micropilot S can be sealed after successful calibration. If the Micropilot S is used for custody transfer or inventory control, any temperature influence can be compensated for using the Tank Side Monitor (TSM). In addition, the density can be calculated in the TSM by means of an additional pressure measurement. A TSM can provide 24 VDC for a Micropilot S. The TSM can communicate with up to 8 devices via HART Multidrop. 4

5 Integrated on tank gauging system The Tank Side Monitor NRF 590 provides integrated communications for sites with multiple tanks, each with one or more sensors on the tank, such as radar, spot or average temperature, capacitive probe for water detection and/or pressure sensors. Multiple protocols out of the Tank Side Monitor guarantee connectivity to nearly any of the existing industry standard tank gauging protocols. Optional connectivity of analog 4 to 20 ma sensors, digital I/O and analog output simplify full tank sensor integration. Use of the proven concept of the intrinsically safe HART bus for all on-tank sensors yields extremely low wiring costs, while at the same time providing maximum safety, reliability and data availability. Fuels Manager Software Micropilot S Prothermo HART 4-wire RTU 8130 (remote terminal unit) Supply voltage 16 to 253 VAC Tank Side Monitor Pressure Input Measured variable Measuring range The measured variable is the distance between a reference point (refer to the figure on page 2) and a reflective surface (i.e. liquid surface). The level is calculated based on the tank height entered and can be converted into other units (volume, mass) by means of linearization. In order to compensate for nonlinear effects like movement of the tank roof, an additional correction table (dip table) can be entered. The achievable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectiveness of the medium, the mounting location, and any interference reflections. The following tables describe the groups of media as well as the achievable measuring range as a function of the application. If the dielectric constant of a medium is unknown, it is recommended to assume media group B to ensure reliable measurement.

If an antenna extension is used, its length must be added. Reliable measurement can not be guaranteed if material levels are inside the blocking distance of the FMR 532 /

7 Measuring conditions The measuring range begins where the beam hits the tank bottom. Particularly with dish bottoms or conical outlets. The level cannot be detected below that point. In case of media with a low dielectric constant (groups A and B), the tank bottom can be visible through the medium at low levels. In order to guarantee the required accuracy in these cases, it is recommended to position the zero-point at a distance (C) above the tank bottom. In principle, it is possible to measure up to the tip of the antenna. However, due to possible corrosion and buildup, the maximum span should not be any closer than 2 (50 mm) to the tip of the antenna (A). For over-spill protection, it is possible to define a safety distance additionally to the blocking distance. In applications with planar or parabolic antennas, especially for media with low dielectric constants (see page 5), the end of the measuring range should not be closer than 40 (1 m) to the tip of the antenna. The smallest possible measuring range (B) depends on the antenna version. Tank diameter and height should be at least dimensioned such that a reflection of the radar signal on both sides can be ruled out (refer to beam angle on page 10). Depending on its consistency, foam can either absorb microwaves or reflect them off the foam surface. Measurement is possible under certain conditions, consult factory. In case the measuring range is exceeded, the default setting is 22 ma and the system generates a digital warning (E681). The user can program the behaviour of the instrument when the measuring range is exceeded. 100% B A 0% C A B C FMR (50) 1.6 ft (0.5 m) 6 to 12 (150 to 300) FMR (50) 1.6 ft (0.5m) 6 to 12 (150 to 300) FMR (1000) 1.6 ft (0.5 m) 6 to 12 (150 to 300) FMR (1000) 1.6 ft (0.5 m) 6 to 12 (150 to 300) Output Output signal Signal on alarm Galvanic isolation 4 to 20 ma with HART protocol.

Maximum 21 ma (50 ma inrush current) For stand alone operation, use external power supply, such as RN 221 N from E+H. For measurement with mm accuracy, the measured variable must be transmitted using HART protocol to ensure the necessary resolution. The level transmitter FMR 53x is equipped with an internal overvoltage protector (600 Vrms electrode). Connect the metallic housing of the Micropilot to the tank wall or shield directly with an electrically conductive lead to ensure reliable ground matching. Installation with additional overvoltage protector HAW 262Z (refer to XA 081F-A, Safety instructions for electrical apparatus certified for use in explosion-hazardous areas ). Connect the external overvoltage protector and the Micropilot S to the local ground matching system. Ground shall be equalized both inside and outside the explosion hazardous area. The cable connecting the overvoltage protector and the Micropilot S shall not exceed 3 feet (1 m). The cable must be protected, routed through an armored hose or rigid conduit.

General operating / environmental conditions, see page 16. According to OIML R85: Temperature, -13 to +131 F (-25 to +55 C) Atmospheric pressure Relative humidity (air), 65% ±15% Medium properties, good reflectiveness and calm surface Tank diameter, signal beam hits tank wall on one side only No major interference reflections inside the signal beam Absolute accuracy, ± 0.04 (1 mm) The accuracy of each Micropilot S is established through a calibration certificate that records the absolute and relative error at 10 equidistant points during the final test. A Laser Interferometer (Jenaer Messtechnik ZLM 500) with an absolute accuracy of 0.1 mm is used as a reference. Each Micropilot S is delivered with the PTB and NMi type approval. Additional approvals for custody applications are available on demand for the radar instruments FMR 53x. During the first pass through of the measuring range, 4 /min (100 mm/min), thereafter, unlimited 0.01 (0.3 mm) 0.01 (0.3 mm) Better than 0.02% or 0.08 (2 mm) Digital / analog: (0.1 mm) / 0.03% of measuring range Typically 15 seconds The long-term drift is within the specified accuracy ± 0.04 of -13 to +131 F (± 1 mm of -25 to +55 C) The software used in the radar instruments fulfills the requirements of OIML R85. This particularly includes: Cyclical test of data consistency Nonvolatile memory Segmented data storage The Micropilot S continuously monitors the compliance with accuracy requirements for custody transfer measurements according to OIML R85. If the accuracy cannot be maintained, a specific alarm is generated on the local display and via the digital communication (see page 25). Operating conditions (installation) Installation instructions Location Recommended minimum distance (1) from wall to outer edge of the nozzle, min. 12 (30 cm) Do not mount in the center (3), interference echoes can cause signal loss. Do not mount the unit above the fill stream. It is recommended to use a weather protection cover (2) in order to protect the transmitter in harsh environments (refer to Accessories in the order section)

10 Tank installations Avoid any installations (1), such as limit switches, temperature sensors, etc.., inside the signal beam area. Symmetrical installations (2), i.e. vacuum rings, heating coils, baffles, etc., can also interfere with the measurement. 1 α Optimization options 2 Antenna size: the bigger the antenna the smaller the beam angle, the less interference echoes. Mapping: the measurement can be optimized by means of electronic suppression of interfer ence echoes. Antenna alignment: refer to Recommended mounting position. Stilling wells: a stilling well can always be used to avoid interference. The FMR 532 with planar antenna is recommended for stilling wells with a diameter greater than 6 (DN 150). Please contact for further information. Beam angle The beam angle is defined as the angle α where the energy density of the radar waves reaches half the value of the maximum energy density (3dB-width). Microwaves are also emitted outside the signal beam and can be reflected off interfering installations.

14 FMR 530 / 532 Installation in stilling well Recommended mounting position for FMR 530 Marker on instrument flange (Not to FMR 532) 2 ANSI (DN 50) 3" to 6 ANSI (DN 80 to 150) Standard installation For the FMR 530 with horn antenna, marker is aligned toward slots; no alignment is required for FRM 532 with planar antenna. The marker is always between 2 bolt holes on the flange (not for FMR 532 The housing can be rotated 350 to simplify access to the display and terminal compartment after mounting. Horn or planar axis vertical to flange, align markers towards slots Measurement can be performed through an open full port ball valve. Recommendations for the stilling well Metal stilling well (no enamel coating, plastic on request). Stilling well must have a constant diameter. When using an FMR 532, an increase of the pipe diameter from 6 to 8, 8 to 10, or 10 to 12 is acceptable. In this case, the upper end of the pipe must have a minimum length of 20 (0.5 m) before the diameter increases (refer to illustration on page 15). Ideally, a sample hatch is used. A larger step-width for the increase of pipe diameter (6 to 12 ) is possible if the upper part of the pipe has a suitable length (see page 15). Any rectangular increase of the pipe diameter must be avoided. Welding seam should be as smooth as possible and on the same axis as the slots. Slots must be offset at 180, not. Slot width maximum 1/10 of pipe diameter. The length and number of slots does not effect the measurement. Slots must be deburred. Additional considerations for horn antenna: Select horn antenna as large as possible. For intermediate sizes (e.g. 7 ) select next larger antenna and adapt it mechanically. Maximum gap allowed between the antenna/horn of the FMR 532 and the inside of the stilling well is 0.2 (5 mm). At any transition (i.e. when using a ball valve or mending pipe segments) the gap should not exceed (0.1 mm) for FMR 530 or 0.04 (1 mm) for FMR 532. The stilling well must be smooth on the inside (average roughness R a 30). Use extruded or parallel welded stainless steel pipe. An extension of the pipe is possible with welded flanges or pipe sleeves. Flange and pipe have to be aligned on the inside. Do not weld through the pipe wall. The inside of the stilling well must remain smooth. In case of unintentional weld through, the weld seam and any unevenness on the inside need to be carefully removed and smoothed; otherwise, strong interference echoes will result and material buildup will occur. On small diameter pipes, the flange that is welded to the pipe should have its bolt holes oriented in such a way that the marker on the instrument flange will be aligned towards the stilling well slots or holes. Dimensions of a nozzle for manual gaging must be adapted to the dimensions of the horn antenna used (refer to pages 18 and 24). 14

The emission and reception of microwaves can eventually be hindered. The degree of contamination leading to an error depends on the medium and the reflectiveness, mainly determined by the dielectric constant εr. If the medium tends to cause contamination and deposits, cleaning on a regular basis is recommended. Care has to taken not to damage the antenna in the process of mechanical or hose-down cleaning. The material compatibility has to be considered if cleaning agents are used. The maximum permitted temperature at the flange should not be exceeded. Emissions according to EN 61326; equipment class B Compatibility according to EN 61326; appendix A (industrial area, 10 V/m) and NAMUR recommendation EMC (NE 21). A standard installation cable is sufficient if only the analog signal is used. Use a shielded cable when working with a superimposed communications signal (HART / Intensor).
