SITRANS LR200: Overview

SITRANS LR200 is a 2-wire, 6 GHz pulse radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring
of liquids and slurries in storage and process vessels including high temperature and
pressure, to a range of 20 m (66 ft).
The instrument consists of an electronic circuit coupled to the antenna and process
connection.
SITRANS LR200 supports PROFIBUS PA communications protocol and SIMATIC PDM
software. Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven
in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar). This device supports
acyclic communications from both a PROFIBUS Class I and Class II master.
Applications
• liquid bulk storage vessels
• simple process vessels with
gentle agitation
• liquids or slurries
shield length 250 mm (10"):
use for long nozzles of 250 mm (10")
or less in length
Programming
SITRANS LR200 is very easy to install and configure via a graphical user interface (LUI).
You can modify the built-in parameters either locally via the Siemens infrared handheld
programmer, or from a remote location using SIMATIC PDM.
Approvals
SITRANS LR200 is available in three versions:
• General Purpose (non-hazardous)
• Intrinsically Safe (with suitable barrier)
• Non-Incendive
Approvals
See on page 9 for details.
Process Connections
A wide range of process connections and antenna options is available to suit virtually
any vessel configuration.
