9.3 Maintenance and repair work
9.3.1
Unit repair and excluded liability
All changes and repairs must be done by qualified personnel, and applicable safety regulations
must be followed. Please note the following:
● The user is responsible for all changes and repairs made to the device.
● All new components must be provided by Siemens.
● Restrict repair to faulty components only.
● Do not re-use faulty components.
9.3.2
Part replacement
If the antenna, lens, secondary O-ring, and spring washers require replacement due to damage
or failure, they may be replaced without the need for re-calibration if of the same type and size.
Replacing the antenna
Changing to a different antenna type may be performed by a Siemens authorized repair center
or personnel.
If the electronics or enclosure require replacement due to damage or failure, please ensure the
correct antenna version is used, otherwise a re-calibration will need to be performed by Siemens
authorized personnel.
Replacing the lens
1. Remove existing lens by turning it counter-clockwise until it separates from the unit.
2. Replace the O-ring between the lens and process connection with a new one.
3. Carefully thread the replacement lens, and turn it clockwise until resistance is encountered.
Do not over-tighten the lens, as this will permanently damage it.
4. For flange installation instructions, see Flanged versions (Page 36).
Note
After installation of the new lens onto the flanged encapsulated antenna version and before
mounting on the vessel/tank, some lenses may not appear to lie flush on the device, but this
is normal and will not impact performance.

A.1
Principles of operation
SITRANS LR250 is a 2-wire 25 GHz pulse radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of
liquids and slurries. (The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from
cellular phones.) Radar level measurement uses the time of flight principle to determine distance
to a material surface. The device transmits a signal and waits for the return echo. The transit
time is directly proportional to the distance from the material.
Pulse radar uses polarized electromagnetic waves. Microwave pulses are emitted from the
antenna at a fixed repetition rate, and reflect off the interface between two materials with
different dielectric constants (the atmosphere and the material being monitored).
Electromagnetic wave propagation is virtually unaffected by temperature or pressure changes,
or by changes in the vapor levels inside a vessel. Electromagnetic waves are not attenuated by
dust.
SITRANS LR250 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process
connection. The electronic circuit generates a radar signal (25 GHz) that is directed to the
antenna.
The signal is emitted from the antenna, and the reflected echoes are digitally converted to an
echo profile. The profile is analyzed to determine the distance from the material surface to the
sensor reference point. See Dimension drawings (Page 195). This distance is used as a basis
for the display of material level and mA output.

A.2.1
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.
Process Intelligence is able to differentiate between the true microwave reflections from the
surface of the material and unwanted reflections being returned from obstructions such as seam
welds or supports within a vessel. The result is repeatable, fast and reliable measurement. This
technology was developed as result of field data gained over some twenty years from more than
1,000,000 installations in many industries around the world.
Higher order mathematical techniques and algorithms are used to provide intelligent processing
of microwave reflection profiles. This "knowledge based" technique produces superior
performance and reliability.
A.2.2
Echo Selection
Time Varying Threshold (TVT)
A Time Varying Threshold (TVT) hovers above the echo profile to screen out unwanted
reflections (false echoes).
In most cases the material echo is the only one which rises above the default TVT.
In a vessel with obstructions, a false echo may occur. See Auto False Echo Suppression
(Page 246) for more details.

The device characterizes all echoes that rise above the TVT as potential good echoes. Each
peak is assigned a rating based on its strength, area, height above the TVT, and reliability,
amongst other characteristics.
Algorithm (2.5.7.1.)
The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. Options are true
First Echo, Largest Echo, or best of First and Largest.
Position Detect (2.5.7.2.)
The echo position detection algorithm determines which point on the echo will be used to
calculate the precise time of flight, and calculates the range using the calibrated propagation
velocity (see Propagation Factor (2.5.3.) for values). There are three options:
● Center
● Hybrid
● CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit)

A.2 Echo processing
Center
Uses center of the echo.
Hybrid
Uses the Center algorithm for the top part of the vessel, and the CLEF algorithm for the part
nearest the vessel bottom, according to the setting for CLEF range.
CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit)
● Uses the leading edge of the echo.
● Is used mainly to process the echo from materials with a low dK value.
In an almost empty flat-bottomed vessel, a low dK material may reflect an echo weaker than the
echo from the vessel bottom. The echo profile shows these echoes merging. The device may
then report a material level equal to or lower than empty.
The CLEF algorithm enables the device to report the level correctly.
Example: CLEF off: Position set to Hybrid
Vessel height: 1.5 m; CLEF range set to 0 (Center algorithm gives the same result.)

Echo Threshold
Confidence (2.5.9.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality.
Echo Threshold defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to be accepted as
valid and evaluated.
A.2.5
Echo Lock
If the echo selected by Algorithm is within the Echo Lock window, the window is centered about
the echo, which is used to derive the measurement. In radar applications, two measurement
verification options are used:
Lock Off
SITRANS LR250 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.
The other available options, Maximum Verification and Total Lock are not recommended for
radar.

Auto False Echo Suppression
Note
• For detailed instructions on using this feature via PDM see Auto False Echo Suppression
(Page 88).
• For detailed instructions on using this feature via the handheld programmer see Auto
False Echo Suppression (2.5.10.1.).
Auto False Echo Suppression is designed to learn a specific environment (for example, a
particular vessel with known obstructions), and in conjunction with Auto False Echo Suppression
Range to remove false echoes appearing in front of the material echo.
The material level should be below all known obstructions at the moment when Auto False Echo
Suppression learns the echo profile. Ideally the vessel should be empty or almost empty, and if
an agitator is present, it should be running.
The device learns the echo profile over the whole measurement range and the TVT is shaped
around all echoes present at that moment.

Auto False Echo Suppression Range (2.5.10.2.)
Auto False Echo Suppression Range specifies the range within which the learned TVT is
applied. Default TVT is applied over the remainder of the range.
The learned TVT screens out the false echoes caused by obstructions. The default TVT allows
the material echo to rise above it.
Auto False Echo Suppression Range must be set to a distance shorter than the distance to the
material level when the environment was learned, to avoid the material echo being screened out.

Measurement Range
Near Range (2.5.1.)
Near Range programs SITRANS LR250 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default
blanking distance is 50 mm (1.97") from the end of the antenna.
Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But Auto False
Echo Suppression (2.5.10.1.) is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking
distance from factory values.
Far Range (2.5.2.)
Far Range can be used in applications where the base of the vessel is conical or parabolic. A
reliable echo may be available below the vessel empty distance, due to an indirect reflection
path.
Increasing Far Range to 30% or 40% can provide stable empty vessel readings.

Measurement Response
Note
Units are defined in Units (2.3.1.) and are in meters by default.
Response Rate (2.3.8.1.) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to
changes in the measurement. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast.
Once the real process fill/empty rate (m/s by default) is established, a response rate can be
selected that is slightly higher than the application rate. Response Rate automatically adjusts the
filters that affect the output response rate.

Filter Time Constant (2.6.8.1) smooths out the response to a sudden change in level. This is an
exponential filter and the engineering unit is always in seconds.
In 5 time constants the output rises exponentially: from 63.2% of the change in the first time
constant, to almost 100% of the change by the end of the 5th time constant.

A.2.10
Loss of Echo (LOE)
A loss of echo (LOE) occurs when the calculated measurement is judged to be unreliable
because the echo confidence value has dropped below the echo confidence threshold.
Confidence (2.5.9.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality.
Echo Threshold (2.5.7.3.) defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to be
accepted as valid and evaluated.
If the LOE condition persists beyond the time limit set in LOE Timer (2.3.6.) the LCD displays the
Service Required icon, and the text region displays the fault code S: 0 and the text LOE.
If two faults are present at the same time, the fault code, error text, and error icon for each fault
are displayed alternately. For example, Loss of Echo and faulty power supply:
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.
A.2.10.1
LOE Timer
LOE Timer (2.3.6.) determines the length of time a Loss of Echo (LOE) condition will persist
before a Fail-safe state is activated. The default is 100 seconds. Fail-safe Mode determines the
level to be reported when the Fail-safe timer expires.
A.2.10.2
Fail-safe Behavior
The purpose of the Fail-safe setting is to put the process into a safe mode of operation in the
event of a fault or failure. The value to be reported in the event of a fault is selected so that a
loss of power or loss of signal triggers the same response as an unsafe level.
Fail-safe mode may be triggered by a loss of echo, a bad configuration, or certain device faults.
You can select one of three possible values to be reported when a Fail-safe mode is activated.

WARNING
• Never attempt to loosen, remove or disassemble process connection or device housing
while vessel contents are under pressure.
• Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or inertness)
for general purposes. For exposure to specific environments, check with chemical
compatibility charts before installing.
• The user is responsible for the selection of bolting and gasket materials which will fall
within the limits of the flange and its intended use and which are suitable for the service
conditions.
• Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure and/or release of process
fluids and/or gases.
Note
• The process connection tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly.
(The process pressure boundary assembly comprises the components that act as a
barrier against pressure loss from the process vessel: that is, the combination of process
connection body and emitter, but normally excluding the electrical enclosure). In the
event the device package is replaced, the process connection tag shall be transferred to
the replacement unit.
• SITRANS LR250 units are hydrostatically tested, meeting or exceeding the requirements
of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European Pressure Equipment
Directive.
• The serial numbers stamped in each process connection body, (flange, threaded, or
sanitary), provide a unique identification number indicating date of manufacture.
Example: MMDDYY – XXX (where MM = month, DD = day, YY = year, and XXX=
sequential unit produced)
• Further markings (space permitting) indicate flange configuration, size, pressure class,
material, and material heat code.
Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC
Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process mounts have
no pressure-bearing housing of their own and, therefore, do not come under the Pressure
Equipment Directive as pressure or safety accessories (see EU Commission Guideline 1/8 and
1/20).

PROFIBUS Level Device Design
The device follows the profile block model and is implemented as a Profile 3.0, Class B, PA
device. Standard profile parameters are used to program the level transducer block.
B.2
Block Model
The Block Model represents how measured values are recorded and processed. All data is
viewed from the perspective of the DCS or PLC, so information from the sensor is an input.
The functions of the device are divided into blocks with different areas of responsibility. The
blocks are configured by parameters.
The device is implemented with one Physical Block, one Transducer Block (TB), and two Analog
Input Function Blocks (AIFB1 and AIFB2).
Physical Block
The Physical Block handles functionality and descriptions relating to the device as a whole: for
example, LCD Contrast (functionality) and Firmware Revision and Tag (descriptions).

Transducer Block (TB)
The Transducer Block carries out adjustments to the sensor, such as level calibration and
volume calibration. It supplies the measurement value [Primary Value (PV), Secondary Value 1
(SV1), or Secondary Value 2 (SV2)] utilized by either or both of the AIFBs.
Analog Input Function Blocks AIFB1 and AIFB2
The two AIFBs are completely independent of each other. They utilize the measurement value
output from the Transducer Block [Primary Value (PV), Secondary Value 1 (SV1), or Secondary
Value 2 (SV2)] and apply any required quality checks, scaling, and Fail-safe operation
selections. The Analog Input Function Block output supplies the measured value and associated
status information to the PROFIBUS PA network via cyclic data transfer.
B.2.1
Description of the blocks
B.2.1.1
Transducer Block function groups
The figure below shows the signal flow of measured values from the sensor through the
Transducer Block into the output value:
● Primary Value (PV): Level or Volume
● Secondary Value 1 (SV1): Level
● Secondary Value 2 (SV2): Distance
The Transducer Block implements all of the basic parameters (see diagram below), including
level to volume calculation, if that option has been selected.

B.2.1.2
How the transducer block works:
1. The sensor technology block selects the proper echo. For an explanation of sensor
technology, see Appendix A: Technical Reference (Page 241).
The sensor value (in sensor units) is checked to see if it is within its measuring limits. If the
limit is exceeded, this results in a Bad status and the error message Failure in measurement.
The sensor value is stored in Sensor Value.
The analog signal from the sensor is transformed into a digital representation.
A Sensor Offset (default 0) compensates for changes to the sensor reference point, if
necessary.
2. Level Calibration is a linear transfer function that converts a sensor value to a level value.

Electronics temperature
The Transducer Block monitors the internal temperature of the device electronics. A change in
temperature can provide advance warning of a possible device failure, and allow for preventive
maintenance.
If a temperature limit is exceeded, the output value is unchanged but the output status changes.
(The permitted limits correspond to those of the permitted ambient temperature.)
Peak indicators allow you to check the maximum and minimum temperatures that have
occurred. To see peak temperature values, Open the menu View – Device Diagnostics, select
Device Status, and click on the tab Device Status.
B.2.1.3
Analog Input Function Blocks 1 and 2
The input to the AIFB is a value with a status. See Transducer Block function groups (Page 267)
for a graphic representation.
Output conversion
The Analog Input Function Blocks can modify the output value.
Scaling
Output Scaling (2.6.6.) allows you to scale the output to any desired units.
Fail-safe
If the status of the input (TB output value or Simulation Value) is bad, the fault logic can output
either the last usable measured value, or a given substitute value. Set Fail-safe Mode (2.6.9.)
and, if desired, define a value in Value (2.6.9.2.).
Device/input simulation
You can define a simulated value to be input to the AIFB instead of the output value from the
Transducer Block. The simulated value allows the AIFB to be tested independently of the
characteristics of the environment.

How an Analog Input Function Block works
The AIFB provides a linear conversion to any desired units.
1. The AIFB Input value is the processed output value of the Transducer Block, in Transducer
Block units.
2. The user selects the desired AIFB output units and scaling is applied.
3. Damping may be applied based on a time constant provided by the user. See Damping
(Page 249) for details.
4. The status of the input value from the Transducer Block is checked. If the status is Bad, a
Fail-safe condition occurs. The output is determined by the setting for Failsafe Mode.
5. Actual Mode (2.6.2.) allows the entire AI block to be overridden by a Manual Output value.
See Actual Mode (2.6.2.) for details.
6. The value is checked against the user-defined warning and alarm limits. The upper and lower
limits are defined in units corresponding to the Output range, and a limit hysteresis can be
used to adjust the sensitivity. See Alarms and Warnings (2.6.7.) for details.
7. The output value (OUT) is communicated via cyclic data transfer.

SITRANS LR250 (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 LR250 functions is available only over a PROFIBUS PA network.
PROFIBUS PA is an open industrial protocol. Full details about PROFIBUS PA can be obtained
from PROFIBUS International at:
PROFIBUS PA (http://www.profibus.com/)
C.1
Device configuration
To use PROFIBUS PA, you will need a PC configuration tool: we recommend SIMATIC PDM.
Please consult the operating instructions or online help for details on using SIMATIC PDM. You
can find more information at:
SIMATIC PDM (www.siemens.com/simatic-pdm)
C.1.1
SIMATIC PDM
SIMATIC PDM is a software package used to commission and maintain SITRANS LR250 and
other process devices. For more detail see Functions in SIMATIC PDM (Page 75).
C.1.1.1
Electronic Device Description
In order to use Process Device Manager (PDM) with PROFIBUS PA, you will need the
Electronic Device Description for SITRANS LR250. For details see Electronic Device Description
(EDD) (Page 76).
C.2
Network configuration
To configure a PROFIBUS PA Class 1 Master (for example, a PLC), you will need a GSD file.
C.2.1
The GSD file
The GSD file SIEM8150.gsd is available from the SITRANS LR250 product page on our web
site. Go to the product page of our website and click on Support > Software Downloads:

Bus termination
Note
PROFIBUS PA cable shield MUST be terminated at both ends of the cable for it to work
properly. Please refer to the PROFIBUS PA User and Installation Guidelines (order number
2.092), available from:
PROFIBUS PA (http://www.profibus.com/)
C.4
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: 15 mA for SITRANS LR250. Allow
a current reserve for safety.
C.5
PROFIBUS address
A unique PROFIBUS address identifies each device on the network. To set the PROFIBUS
address see Device Address (5.1.).
Note
• It is possible to change the device address via a Class 1 master (for example, a PLC) and
lock the device address to prevent further changes.
• If this Address Lock is on, the PA address cannot be changed. This lock can be
disabled only by performing an Address Reset.
Resetting the PROFIBUS address to 126
● Via SIMATIC PDM:
1. Open the menu Device – Master Reset and click on Reset Address to 126.
2. Click on OK: the address will be reset to 126, and if the address lock was on, it will be
disabled.
● Via the handheld programmer:

C.6 Operating as a profile device
1. Navigate to Service (4.) > Master Reset (4.1.). (You can enter the numeric value instead of
navigating via the Arrow keys.)
2. Press RIGHT Arrow to open Edit Mode then scroll down to DEV ADDRESS and press RIGHT
Arrow to select it. The address will be reset to 126, and if the address lock was on, it will be
disabled.
3. Press LEFT Arrow to exit.
C.6
Operating as a profile device
Every manufactured PROFIBUS product has a unique PROFIBUS identification number which
identifies it to the system. PROFIBUS Profile Standard version 3.01 also defines a Profile Model
which can identify a product as a generic profile device on the network.
SITRANS LR250 can be identified in one of three ways:
Device Identification
Profile Model
STD PROFILE
Standard Profile (uses generic GSD for 2 AIFB [ident # = 0x9701]
MANUFACTURER
Manufacturer-specific (uses Siemens EDD and GSD file, which
identifies the LR250 [PROFIBUS PA]) [ident # = 0x8150]
STD – AIFB 1 ONLY
Standard Profile AIFB 1 only (uses generic GSD for 1 AIFB) [ident #
= 0x9700]
Defining the device as Profile-specific as opposed to Manufacturer-specific makes it possible to
exchange the device for any other device of the same profile type without changing the GSD file.
To set up SITRANS LR250 as a profile device see PROFIBUS Ident Number (5.2.).

C.7 Cyclic versus acyclic data
C.6.2
Configuring PROFIBUS PA with an S7-300/ 400 PLC
1. If SITRANS LR250 is not listed in the STEP 7 device catalog, you can download the EDD
files from the Siemens Web site and add them to your computer using the device integration
procedure specific to your host software (eg. Step 7, or PDM, etc.) version. Go to the product
page of our website and click on Support > Software Downloads:
Product page (http://www.siemens.com/LR250)
2. Add the SITRANS LR250 "rack": click and drag the SITRANS LR250 folder from the
hardware catalog.
3. Fill the rack with desired modules, by dragging and dropping them from the hardware catalog.
4. After configuring PROFIBUS PA in steps 2 and 3, download it to the PLC.
5. Add code to the PLC program to read data consistently using the SFC14.
C.7
Cyclic versus acyclic data
When you request data from a device via PROFIBUS PA, you have two choices. Cyclic data is
provided at every bus scan: acyclic data is requested and provided as needed.
Input information is always requested at every bus scan and is set up as cyclic data.
Configuration information is only needed periodically and is set up as acyclic data.

C.7 Cyclic versus acyclic data
C.7.1
Cyclic data
When you configure SITRANS LR250 on the PROFIBUS PA bus, there are two slots available
for modules.
Note
Each of the slots has to have a module defined in it.
Slot 0 always transmits AIFB1 information; slot 1 defaults to Free Place, but can be changed to
AIFB2 information. If you do not wish to have data transmitted, then you must use a Free Place
module in that slot.
Each of the two Analog Input Function Blocks can be set up to return Level, Distance, or
Volume. Within the function blocks, the values are scaled according to the user requirements
[see Analog Input Function Blocks 1 and 2 (Page 270) for details].
AIFB1 and AIFB2 return 5 bytes of data each:
Floating Point
Status
AIFB1
byte 1
byte 2
byte 3
byte 4
byte 5
AIFB2
byte 6
byte 7
byte 8
byte 9
byte 10
The first 4 bytes are the floating point representation (IEEE) of the variable. The variables are
the outputs of the function block. The 5th byte is the status word and the list of possible values is
given in the chart below.
The 5 bytes must be read consistently, in a contiguous chunk: they cannot be read byte by byte,
and cannot suffer an interrupt. If you are using an S7-300 / 400, you will need to use SFC14
DPRD_DAT: Read Consistent Data of a Standard PD Slave.

This status remains active for at least 10 seconds:
– after enabling simulation
– after setting the FB to MAN mode
– after a restart (e.g. power down cycle) if the simulation
is enabled or the FB is in MAN mode
– after passivation is cleared if simulation is
enabled or the FB is in MAN mode
•
In MAN mode the status remains until a subsequent write
command overwrites the OUT value after the 10 seconds
have expired.
•
In simulation mode the written status is buffered and
appears in the value flow after 10 seconds. However the
new written SIMULATE parameter with its status can be
read before the 10 seconds have expired.
Indicates the end of a simulation.
Simulation of a measured value is disabled or Input FB mode
changes from MAN to AUTO.
This Status remains active for 10 seconds after simulation
ends.
While this status is active there is no reliable process value.
Measured values and their status are updated
afterwards.

Diagnostics
All diagnostic information shown below is viewable via PDM.
C.10.1
Diagnosis reply (available cyclically)
During DPV0 data exchange, the PROFIBUS PA slave will notify the Master when a serious
error occurs. The Master will then send a Diagnosis request. The reply to this request is normally
logged in the PLC and is referred to as the "Hex values."
The reply may contain two parts. The first part is 6 bytes long and is defined by the PROFIBUS
standard. If there is a second part, it is called the ’extended cyclic diagnosis’ and it is 8 bytes
long. The last 4 bytes of the extended diagnostic message give the error diagnosis [see
Extended Mode Diagnosis (Page 284) and Condensed Mode Diagnosis (Page 285)].
The same information is also available acyclically via the Diagnosis Object.

Acyclic data
SITRANS LR250 supports up to four simultaneous connections by a Class 2 Master (C2
connection). It supports one connection by a Class 1 Master (C1 connection).
In order for a Class 1 Master to read parameters from a device, it needs to know the slot and
absolute index of the parameter.
The parameters are all listed in SIMATIC PDM under Help. If you do not have SIMATIC PDM
you can download the EDD (Electronic Device Description) and reference the HTML help file
directly.
To find the slot and index numbers via SIMATIC PDM, go to Help > Communications, and select
the appropriate block from the list. For each parameter, the slot and the relative index is listed.
For example.

To get the absolute index for any parameter, add the Index Offset for the appropriate block to
the relative index for that parameter. The parameter takes the slot number of the block in which
it is located.
For example:
● Parameter Static Revision Number has relative index = 1 and is located on AIFB1.
● It has Absolute Index = 17 (relative index 1 + index offset 16).
● It is located at Slot 1 (the slot number for AIFB 1).

Glossary
accuracy
degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or a true value.
agitator
mechanical apparatus for mixing or aerating. A device for creating turbulence.
algorithm
a prescribed set of well-defined rules or processes for the solution of a problem in a finite
number of steps.
ambient temperature
the temperature of the surrounding air that comes in contact with the enclosure of the device.
antenna
an aerial which sends out and receives a signal in a specific direction. There are four basic types
of antenna in radar level measurement, horn, parabolic, rod, and waveguide.
attenuation
a term used to denote a decrease in signal magnitude in transmission from one point to another.
Attenuation may be expressed as a scalar ratio of the input magnitude to the output magnitude
or in decibels.
Auto False-Echo Suppression
a technique used to adjust the level of a TVT to avoid the reading of false echoes. (See TVT.)
Auto-False Echo Suppression Distance
defines the endpoint of the TVT distance. (See TVT.) This is used in conjunction with auto false
echo suppression.

beam angle
the angle diametrically subtended by the one-half power limits (-3 dB) of the microwave beam.
beam spreading
the divergence of a beam as it travels through a medium.
blanking
a blind zone extending away from the reference point plus any additional shield length.The
device is programmed to ignore this zone.
capacitance
the property of a system of conductors and dielectrics that permits the storage of electricity when
potential differences exist between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a
quantity of electricity to a potential difference, and the unit is a Farad.
confidence
see Echo Confidence.
damping
term applied to the performance of a device to denote the manner in which the measurement
settles to its steady indication after a change in the value of the level.
dB (decibel)
a unit used to measure the amplitude of signals.
derating
to decrease a rating suitable for normal conditions according to guidelines specified for different
conditions.
dielectric
a nonconductor of direct electric current. Many conductive liquids/electrolytes exhibit dielectric
properties; the relative dielectric constant of water is 80.
dielectric constant (dK)
the ability of a dielectric to store electrical potential energy under the influence of an electric field.
Also known as Relative Permittivity. An increase in the
dielectric constant is directly proportional to an increase in signal amplitude. The value is usually
given relative to a vacuum /dry air: the dielectric constant of air is 1.
echo
a signal that has been reflected with sufficient magnitude and delay to be perceived in some
manner as a signal distinct from that directly transmitted. Echoes are frequently measured in
decibels relative to the directly transmitted signal.
Echo Confidence
describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality. Echo Threshold defines
the minimum value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated.
Echo Lock Window
a window centered on an echo in order to locate and display the echo’s position and true
reading. Echoes outside the window are not immediately processed.
Echo Marker
a marker that points to the processed echo.
Echo Processing
the process by which the radar unit determines echoes.
Echo Profile
a graphical display of a processed echo.
Echo Strength
describes the strength of the selected echo in dB referred to 1 μV rms.
false Echo
any echo which is not the echo from the desired target. Generally, false echoes are created by
vessel obstructions.
frequency
the number of periods occurring per unit time. Frequency may be stated in cycles per second.
hertz (Hz):
unit of frequency, one cycle per second. 1 Gigahertz (GHz) is equal to 109 Hz.
horn antenna
a conical, horn-shaped antenna which focuses microwave signals. The larger the horn diameter,
the more focused the radar beam.
inductance
the property of an electric circuit by virtue of which a varying current induces an electromotive
force in that circuit or in a neighboring circuit. The unit is a Henry.
microwaves
the term for the electromagnetic frequencies occupying the portion of the radio frequency
spectrum from 1 GHz to 300 GHz.
multiple echoes
secondary echoes that appear as double, triple, or quadruple echoes in the distance from the
target echo.
Near Blanking
see Blanking.
nozzle
a length of pipe mounted onto a vessel that supports the flange.
parameters
in programming, variables that are given constant values for specific purposes or processes.
polarization
the property of a radiated electromagnetic wave describing the time-varying direction and
amplitude of the electric field vector.
polarization error
the error arising from the transmission or reception of an electromagnetic wave having a
polarization other than that intended for the system.
PROFIBUS PA
one of the PROFIBUS family of protocols, specifically tailored for the needs of process industries
(PA = Process Automation).
propagation factor (pf)
where the maximum velocity is 1.0, pf is a value that represents a reduction in propagation
velocity as a result of the wave travelling through a pipe or
medium.
pulse radar
a radar type that directly measures distance using short microwave pulses. Distance is
determined by the return transit time.
radar
radar is an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging. A device that radiates electromagnetic
waves and utilizes the reflection of such waves from distant objects to determine their existence
or position.
range
distance between a transmitter and a target.
range extension
the distance below the zero percent or empty point in a vessel.
relative permittivity
see dielectric constant.
repeatability
the closeness of agreement among repeated measurements of the same variable under the
same conditions.
shot
one transmit pulse or measurement.
speed of light
the speed of electromagnetic waves (including microwave and light) in free space. Light speed is
a constant 299, 792, 458 meters per second.
stilling-well
see stillpipe.
stillpipe
a pipe that is mounted inside a vessel parallel to the vessel wall, and is open to the vessel at the
bottom.
TVT (Time Varying Threshold)
a time-varying curve that determines the threshold level above which echoes are determined to
be valid.
two wire radar
a low-energy radar. Can be loop powered, analog, intrinsically safe 4 to 20 mA, or a digital
(BUS) transmitter.
waveguide antenna
a hollow, metallic tube that transmits a microwave signal to the product target.
