Non-Contact Level Measurement Solution – Endress+Hauser FMU671 | Nivosonic Series
The Endress+Hauser FMU671 Nivosonic is a high-performance ultrasonic level sensor engineered for reliable, non-contact continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk solids. Trusted by process engineers across water treatment, chemical processing, and industrial automation, the FMU671 delivers precision measurement without direct media contact — eliminating wear, contamination risk, and maintenance downtime.
Where This Product Is Used
The FMU671 is specified across a wide range of demanding industrial environments:
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Open channel flow monitoring, pump station wet well level control, clarifier and sedimentation tank management
- Chemical & Petrochemical Plants: Acid/alkali storage tank level, solvent vessel monitoring, corrosive media measurement without sensor immersion
- Food & Beverage Processing: Hygienic tank level monitoring for silos, buffer tanks, and ingredient storage
- Mining & Bulk Solids Handling: Ore, grain, cement, and aggregate silo level detection
- Pulp & Paper Industry: Chest and vat level control in high-humidity environments
- Power Generation: Cooling water reservoir and ash pond level monitoring
- Building Automation: Rainwater harvesting tanks, HVAC condensate sumps

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Zero Media Contact: Ultrasonic pulse technology measures level without touching the process media — ideal for corrosive, viscous, or contaminating substances
- Plug-and-Play Setup: Integrated temperature compensation and automatic false-echo suppression reduce commissioning time significantly
- Robust IP68 Rating: Fully submersible housing withstands wash-down, condensation, and outdoor installation
- Universal Compatibility: 4–20 mA / HART output integrates directly with Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, and Yokogawa DCS/PLC systems
- Low Total Cost of Ownership: No moving parts, no wear components — maintenance intervals are minimal compared to float or guided-wave alternatives
- Proven Endress+Hauser Reliability: Backed by global service network and decades of field-proven installations

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the FMU671 measure aggressive chemicals such as HCl or NaOH?
A: Yes. Because the sensor operates without media contact, it is well-suited for corrosive liquids. Ensure the sensor face material (PVDF or PBT depending on variant) is compatible with vapor exposure.
Q: What is the minimum detectable level (blanking distance)?
A: The FMU671 has a blanking distance of approximately 0.25 m from the sensor face. Levels within this zone cannot be reliably measured.
Q: Is HART configuration required for basic operation?
A: No. The FMU671 can be configured via the local keypad for standard 4–20 mA output without a HART communicator. HART is optional for advanced diagnostics.
Q: Can this sensor be used outdoors?
A: Yes. The IP68 rating and UV-resistant housing make it suitable for outdoor installation. A sunshield is recommended in high-solar-radiation environments.
Q: What is the difference between FMU671 and FMU672?
A: The FMU672 offers an extended measuring range (up to 15 m) and enhanced false-echo suppression for more complex vessel geometries. The FMU671 is the standard range model for most industrial applications.
