Bluetooth upgrade for level measurement devices

Products Bluetooth Endress+Hauser upgrade
The Bluetooth upgrade for Endress+Hauser radar level measurement instruments is said to make it fast and simple to remotely commission one of these instruments or monitor their device, diagnostic and process data via an app on a standard smartphone or tablet.
The upgrade from Endress+Hauser Canada is available for all FMR5x, FMR6x and FMP5x series devices with up-to-date HART 7 firmware. The instruments are used for continuous non-contact level measurement in a wide range of applications.
The FMP5x series, for example, used for purposes such as assuring measuring for dry run protection and for providing overfill protection and range monitoring.
The Bluetooth upgrade consists of the company’s Bluetooth module BT10 inserted in the CDI slot of an installed base in the field, and its SmartBlue App.
Installation of the module is a three-step procedure that doesn’t require special expertise or tools.
Bluetooth has a read range of up to 10 m, so employees can generate readings from radar instruments — especially those located in hazardous or difficult-to-access places — from a safe distance.
