Radar measurement Micropilot FMR540

Maxima Automation FMR540 radar level transmitter with parabolic or horn antenna, ±1mm accuracy, custody transfer approved for free space or complex tank geometries.

Field of Application :

The Micropilot FMR540 is designed for custody transfer and inventory control applications, meeting OIML R85 and API 3.1B standards. With NMi- and PTB-approvals, it ensures high-accuracy level measurements required for legal-for-trade applications.

The FMR540 offers two antenna options:

Parabolic antenna: Suitable for free space applications up to 40m, providing high beam focusing for tanks with nozzles near tank walls.
4"/DN100 horn antenna: Ideal for applications where a parabolic antenna cannot be used due to tank or nozzle geometry.
