Appendix C: Maintenance SITRANS LR560 requires no maintenance or cleaning under normal operating conditions. Under severe operating conditions, the antenna may require periodic cleaning. If cleaning becomes necessary: • Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that will not react adversely with either.
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.

In radar applications, two measurement verification options are used: Lock Off SITRANS LR560 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected. Material Agitator A new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria before the window will move to include it.

Measurement Range Near Range (2.4.1.) 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 Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.) is generally recommended in preference to extending...
LOE Timer (2.3.3.) determines the length of time a Loss of Echo (LOE) condition will persist before a Fail-safe state is activated. The default is 100 seconds.

Appendix F: Communications via PROFIBUS PA SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) is a Profile Version 3.01, Class B, PA device. It supports Class 1 Master for cyclic and acyclic data exchange, and Class 2 for acyclic services. The full range of SITRANS LR560 functions is available only over a PROFIBUS PA network.
Defining the device as Profile-specific as opposed to Manufacturer-specific makes it possible to exchange the device for any other device of the same profile type without changing the GSD file. To set up SITRANS LR560 as a profile device see PROFIBUS Ident Number (5.2.) on page 101. Page 130 SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) –...

Acyclic Data SITRANS LR560 supports up to four simultaneous connections by a Class 2 Master (C2 connection). It supports one connection by a Class 1 Master (C1 connection). In order for a Class 1 Master to read parameters from an instrument, it needs to know the slot and absolute index of the parameter.
