E+H Levelflex FMP56 Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter

he Endress+Hauser Levelflex FMP56 guided wave radar level transmitter offers an economical and highly reliable solution for continuous level measurement in powdery, dusty, and granular bulk solids. Operating on the Time-of-Flight (ToF) measuring principle, high-frequency electromagnetic pulses are guided directly along a flexible rope probe into the medium, ensuring consistent accuracy even in dusty atmospheres, narrow silos, or vessels with internal structural obstacles.

Unlike non-contact ultrasonic or optical devices, the guided radar signal of the FMP56 is completely immune to dust clouds created during pneumatic filling, ambient temperature layers, gas stratification, and severe filling noise. The robust rope probe configuration is specifically engineered to accommodate tensile loads up to 12 kN, making it suitable for medium-height storage silos and bulk handling hoppers.

Equipped with integrated HistoROM data management and Heartbeat Technology, the Levelflex FMP56 ensures simple setup, automatic backup of parameters, and non-disruptive device diagnostics throughout its operating lifespan. Seamless digital communication is facilitated via 2-wire / 4-wire 4–20 mA HART, PROFIBUS PA, or FOUNDATION Fieldbus protocols, along with optional wireless Bluetooth connectivity through the SmartBlue app. Partnering with our company gives you direct access to genuine, factory-tested instruments with precise order coding verification and fast international dispatch.
