    Reference on page 86 for a complete list of parameters. Principles of Operation SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of solids in vessels . Radar level measurement uses the time of flight principle to determine distance to a material surface.

    Echo Processing Process Intelligence The signal processing technology embedded in Siemens radar level devices is known as Process Intelligence. Process intelligence provides high measurement reliability regardless of the dynamically changing conditions within the vessel being monitored. The embedded Process Intelligence dynamically adjusts to the constantly changing material surfaces within these vessels.
