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 43))
● from a remote location. See Quick Start Wizard via SIMATIC PDM (Page 56), or Quick
Start Wizard via AMS Device Manager (Page 80), or Operating via FDT (Field Device
