After you complete the installation procedures and power up SITRANS LR 200, it starts in RUN mode and detects the distance to the material level in meters. This is the default start-up display mode. RUN Mode Display Use the hand programmer to control the display. Normal operation Failsafe operation in cmm 1 – Primary Reading (displays level, distance, or volume, in either units or percent). 2 – Parameter for Auxiliary Reading (can be set to display milliAmp value (HART only), distance, or confidence. It displays units, if applicable.) 4 – Echo status indicator: Reliable Echo or Unreliable Echo 5 – Units or Percent 6 – Active bar graph represents material level 7 – Auxiliary Reading Whenever a loss of echo occurs, LOE flashes and the Reliable Echo indicator is replaced by the Unreliable indicator. Before the Failsafe Timer expires, the letters LOE (Loss of Echo) alternate with the reading every two seconds. Once the Failsafe condition is established, LOE is displayed permanently. When a valid reading is received, the level reading display returns to normal operation. 7ML19985QL81 SITRANS LR 200 – QUICK START MANUAL Page EN-5 mmmmm English Using a screwdriver for leverage if necessary, unscrew the cover.

The HART Device Descriptor (DD) may be obtained from the HART Communication Foundation at www.hartcomm.org We recommend that you use Simatic Process Device Manager (PDM) to program your instrument. Maintenance SITRANS LR 200 requires no maintenance or cleaning under normal operating conditions. If cleaning becomes necessary under severe operating conditions: 1. Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that will not react adversely with either. 2. Remove the instrument from service and wipe the antenna clean using a cloth and suitable cleaning solution.
