Quick Start

SITRANS LR460 only supports SIMATIC PDM version 6.0 SP3 (or higher).
Note:
To set up SITRANS LR460 for a simple application requires only the following settings:
• select application type (silo construction)
• select operation mode: level, distance or space
• set speed of response
• set High and Low Calibration Points
A Quick Start wizard groups together all the settings you need. There are two ways to
access the wizard:
Quick Start Wizard via the handheld programmer
•
Quick Start Wizard via SIMATIC PDM
•
Note:
When using the Quick Start Wizard, the value for parameter 3.5.2.6 changes. This
can affect the distance measurement reading. See parameter section
(E POS)
on page 61.

Activating SITRANS LR460

• Keep infrared devices such as laptops, cell phones, and PDAs, away from
SITRANS LR460 to prevent inadvertent operation.
• Frequently switching the device off and on causes wear of the electronics (see
Statistics (STATS)
Power up the instrument. SITRANS LR460 automatically starts up in RUN mode, and
detects the distance to the material level referenced from the sensor flange face. The
