Packaging, Transport And Storage - Siemens SITRANS L Series Operating Instructions Manual

It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in
water-based liquids.
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With a the small transmitter
unit, SITRANS LCS050 can be also mounted e.g. in thin pipelines. The transmitter
allows use in vessels, tanks and pipes. Thanks to its simple and robust measuring
system, SITRANS LCS050 is virtually unaffected by the chemical and physical
properties of the medium.
It functions even under difficult conditions such as turbulence, air bubbles, buildup,
strong external vibration or changing products.
If a malfunction is detected or in case of voltage supply, the electronics takes on a
defined switching status, i.e. the output is open (safe state).
Functional principle
An alternating electric field is generated at the tip of the measuring electrode. If the
transmitter is covered with medium, the resonance frequency changes. This change
is detected by the electronics and converted into a switching command.
Buildup is ignored to a certain degree and therefore has no influence on the
measurement.

Packaging, transport and storage

Packaging
Your transmitter was protected by packaging during transport. Its capacity to handle
normal loads during transport is assured by a test based on ISO 4180.
The packaging consists of environment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special
versions, PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via
specialised recycling companies.
Transport
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the transport
packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause damage to the device.
Transport inspection
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit damage
immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or concealed defects must be
appropriately dealt with.
