If cleaning becomes necessary: • Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that will not react adversely with either.
Electromagnetic waves are not attenuated by dust. SITRANS LR200 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process connection. The electronic component generates a radar signal (6.3 GHz in North America, 5.8 GHz elsewhere) that is directed to the antenna.
The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm: Algorithm (2.2.3.1.1.). Options are true First Echo, Largest Echo, or best of Largest or First. 7ML19985JR01 SITRANS LR200 (PROFIBUS PA) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 105...
In radar applications, two measurement verification options are used: • Lock Off: SITRANS LR200 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected. •...
Measurement Range Near Range Near Range (2.2.3.5.1.) programs SITRANS LR200 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default blanking distance is 50 mm (1.97") from end of horn antenna. Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But Auto False Echo Suppression (2.2.4.2.) is generally recommended in preference to extending...
, and the text region displays the fault code S: 0 for Loss of Echo. Upon receiving a reliable echo, the loss of echo condition is aborted, the Service Required icon and error message are cleared, and the reading returns to the current level.

Where the chart does not apply, please use your own judgement regarding the use of SITRANS LR200. Open the menu View – Peak Values, and click on the temperature tab to see the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded. If the internal temperature exceeds the maximum allowable limit, a sun shield or a longer nozzle may be required.

Appendix G: Communications via PROFIBUS PA SITRANS LR200 (PROFIBUS PA) is a Profile Version 3.01, Class B, PA device. It supports Class 1 Master for cyclic and acyclic data exchange, and Class 2 for acyclic services. The full range of SITRANS LR200 functions is available only over a PROFIBUS PA network.
2.092), available from www.profibus.com. Power Demands To determine how many devices can be connected to a bus line, calculate the combined maximum current consumption of all the connected devices: 10.5 mA for SITRANS LR200. Allow a current reserve for safety. PROFIBUS address A unique PROFIBUS address identifies each device on the network.
29. Configuring PROFIBUS PA with an S7-300/ 400 PLC If SITRANS LR200 is not listed in the STEP 7 device catalog, you can download the DeviceInstall file from the Siemens Milltronics Web site and run it from your computer.
Cyclic Data When you configure SITRANS LR200 on the PROFIBUS PA bus, there are two slots available for modules. Each of the slots has to have a module defined in it. Note: Slot 0 always transmits AIFB1 information ; slot 1 defaults to Free Place, but can be changed to AIFB2 information.
