Appendix C: Maintenance SITRANS LR560 requires no maintenance or cleaning under normal operating conditions. Under severe operating conditions, the antenna may require periodic cleaning. If cleaning becomes necessary: • Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that will not react adversely with either.
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.

In radar applications, two measurement verification options are used: Lock Off SITRANS LR560 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected. Material Agitator A new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria before the window will move to include it.

Measurement Range Near Range (2.4.1.) Near Range programs SITRANS LR560 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default blanking distance is 27.8 cm (0.91 ft) from the sensor reference point. Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.) is generally recommended in preference to extending...
Confidence (2.4.7.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality. Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.) defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated. Page 144 SITRANS LR560 (FF)– INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985LY01...
