Technical Characteristics and Versatility
-
Integrated Flow Measurement: Beyond simple level tracking, the FMR20 includes built-in linearization tables. This allows the device to calculate and output flow rates for standard flumes and weirs, such as Parshall or Venturi channels, directly via its 4-20 mA HART signal.
-
Dual Communication Options: The FMR20 provides flexibility in management. Users can perform commissioning and view signal curves wirelessly via Bluetooth using the SmartBlue app, or utilize standard HART communication for integration into existing control systems or remote displays.
-
Superior Environmental Durability: The full PVDF housing is UV-resistant and chemically robust. With fully potted electronics and sealed wiring (IP66/IP68), the sensor is immune to water ingress, condensation, and flooding, ensuring long-term stability in outdoor environments like sewer shafts or open basins.
-
Liquids and Solids Capability: While optimized for water and wastewater, the FMR20 is also suitable for basic solid applications up to 10m, such as small silos or stockpiles of minerals and building materials.
-
Safe Remote Access: The Bluetooth functionality is certified for use even in hazardous areas. This allows maintenance teams to securely diagnose or configure sensors from a safe distance (up to 25m), eliminating the need for climbing onto tanks or entering confined spaces like manholes.
