LLT100
Laser Level Transmitter
The new standard in industrial laser
level transmitters
Measurement made easy
Customer benefits
The LLT100 is specifically made for industrial applications
and harsh environments. It provides continuous, non-contact
level measurement capabilities for process automation
and inventory management in industries such as mining,
aggregates, oil & gas, chemicals, food & beverages, power,
pulp & paper, pharma, and water & waste water.
Optimize process or inventory management
– Precise measurement of any solid or liquid
– Independent of material properties
Low cost of ownership
– Fast and flexible installation
– No maintenance
– Single product configuration works in many applications

Main features

ABB brings laser level transmitters to the next level of non-
contact measurements by packaging laser ranging technology
with the features required by industrial applications. Using a
pulsed laser for performing time-of-flight measurements,
the LLT100 provides accurate distance measurements
while being powered from the 4 – 20 mA loop. Available in
aluminum or stainless steel body, it comes with a variety of
process interfaces. It can meet the demands of hazardous
area locations, as well as high pressure and high temperature
applications.
Convenient
– Easy setup function
– Articulated embedded user interface
– 2-wire powered, and HART 7 communication
Reliable
– Dust and fog penetration capabilities
– Accurate measurements at short and long distances
– Explosion-proof class 1, division 1 (zone 1)
