The Endress+Hauser Levelflex FMP50 is a guided wave radar transmitter for continuous level measurement in liquids, pastes and slurries. With rod and rope probe options, it provides a practical solution for storage tanks, buffer vessels and basic process applications.

How Guided Wave Radar Works

Microwave pulses travel along the probe and are reflected by the product surface. The transmitter converts the return time into a level value. Because the signal follows the probe, measurement remains resistant to changing media, temperature changes, gas blankets and vapors.

Where FMP50 Fits Best

• Water and wastewater tanks

• Chemical and utility liquid storage

• Process and buffer vessels

• Liquids with vapor or gas blankets

• Suitable pastes and slurries

Rod or Rope Probe?

Rod probes suit shorter ranges and offer simple rigid installation. Rope probes provide longer measuring ranges for taller tanks. Selection should consider vessel height, mounting space, agitation, tank internals and the behavior of the medium.

Installation and Commissioning

The probe should not contact the vessel wall, agitator or internal equipment. Confirm the mounting position, nozzle geometry, probe length, empty and full calibration, medium, temperature, pressure, process connection, output and required approvals. HistoROM data management, Multi-Echo Tracking and Heartbeat Technology support commissioning and diagnostics.

Complete Order Codes Matter

“FMP50” identifies only the product family. For an accurate quotation or replacement, provide the complete nameplate model, for example:

FMP50-BCACCBAAA1GDJ+AAF371, 2 m

For new applications, also provide the vessel height, medium, temperature, pressure, connection and required signal. Correct probe selection and a verified configuration are essential for dependable measurement.
