  • Page 180: Technical Reference

    Electromagnetic waves are not attenuated by dust. SITRANS LR560 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process connection. The electronic circuit generates a radar signal (78 GHz) that is directed to the lens antenna.

  • Page 181: Echo Processing

    Echo processing A.3.1 Process Intelligence The signal processing technology embedded in Siemens radar level devices is known as Process Intelligence. Process intelligence provides high measurement reliability regardless of the dynamically changing conditions within the vessel being monitored. The embedded Process Intelligence dynamically adjusts to the constantly changing material surfaces within these vessels.

  • Page 187: Measurement Range

    Measurement range NEAR RANGE (2.7.1.) (Page 121) Near Range programs SITRANS LR560 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default blanking distance is 27.8 cm (0.91 ft) from the sensor reference point. Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But SHAPER MODE (2.8.4) (Page 127) is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking...
