Operating via the handheld programmer

SITRANS LR200 carries out its level measurement tasks according to settings made via
parameters. The settings can be modified locally via the Human Machine Interface (HMI)
which consists of an LCD display and a handheld programmer.
A Quick Start Wizard provides an easy step-by-step procedure to configure the device for a
simple application. There are two ways to access the wizard:
● locally (see Quick Start Wizard via the handheld programmer (Page 32))
● from a remote location (see Operating via SIMATIC PDM (Page 34), or Operating via
AMS Device Manager (Page 34))
For more complex setups, see the chapter "Application Examples" in the full operating
instructions. For the complete range of parameters, see the chapter "Parameter Reference"
