Radio Equipment Compliance (Europe And Uk); Industry Canada - Siemens SITRANS L Compact Operating Instructions

2.1.5

Radio equipment compliance (Europe and UK)

Hereby, Siemens declares that the SITRANS LR560 is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU and Regulation SI
2017/1206.
The LR560 complies with EN 302 372 for use in closed storage vessels, when installed
according to the installation requirements of EN 302 372, and may be used in all EU countries
and the UK.
For the receiver test that covers the influence of an interferer signal to the device, the
performance criterion has at least the following level of performance according to ETSI TS
103 361 [6]:
• Performance criterion: measurement value variation Δd over time during a distance
measurement
• Level of performance: Δd ≤ ±50 mm
The LR560 complies with ETSI EN 302 729 for use outside of closed tanks in most EU
countries. (For a list of exceptions, see the LR560 Declaration to EN 302 729, which can be
accessed online here (www.siemens.com/LR560).) For open air installations, the following
conditions must be observed:
• Installation and maintenance is performed by suitably qualified and trained personnel.
• The LR560 shall be installed only in a permanent fixed position pointing downwards. Its
location shall comply with the following two restrictions:
– It shall be installed with a minimum separation distance of 4 km from radio astronomy
– If it is installed at a location between 4 and 40 km from any radio astronomy site listed
2.1.6

Industry Canada

The SITRANS LR560 complies with Industry Canada standard RSS211 (March 2015).
1. The installation of the SITRANS LR560 shall be done by trained installers, in strict compliance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
2. The use of this device is on a "no-interference, no-protection" basis. That is, the user shall
accept operations of high-powered radar in the same frequency band which may interfere
with or damage this device. However, devices found to interfere with primary licensing
operations will be required to be removed at the user's expense.
3. The installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km from the Penticton radio
astronomy station (British Columbia latitude: 49° 19' 12" N, longitude: 119° 37'12" W). For
devices not meeting this 10 km separation (e.g. the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia) the
installer/ user must coordinate with and obtain the written concurrence of the Director of
the Penticton radio astronomy station before the equipment can be installed or operated.
The Director of the DRAO may be contacted at 250-497-2300 or at NRC.DRAO-
OFR.CNRC@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca. (Alternatively, the Manager, Regulatory Standards, Industry
Canada, may be contacted.)
