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.Notes:• For European Union and member countries, installation must be according to ETSI EN 302372.• Refer to the device nameplate for approval information.• The Process Device Tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly1. In the event the instrument package is replaced, the Process Device Tag shall be transferred to the replacement unit.• SITRANS LR260 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 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.1. 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.
Page 10 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  7ML19985KE01mmmmmInstallationMounting locationNozzle design• The end of the horn must protrude a minimum of 10 mm (0.4”) to avoid false echoes being reflected from the nozzle.• Optional antenna extensions: 100 mm (3.93"), 200 mm (70.9"), 500 mm (19.69"), 1000 mm (39.4")Nozzle location• Keep emission cone free of interference from ladders, pipes, I-beams or filling streams. • Avoid central locations on tall, narrow vessels.• Align the antenna so that the radar cone is perpendicular to the surface of the monitored material, if possible. (See Easy Aimer  on page 12.)Notes: • Correct location is key to a successful application.• Avoid reflective interference from vessel walls and obstructions by following the guidelines belowNotes: • Beam width depends on horn size: see below. • For details on avoiding false echoes, see Auto False Echo Suppression  on page 88.Min. clearance: 10 mm (0.4") beam width:2" horn = 15°3" horn = 10°4" horn = 8°emission conemin. 1 m (39")

(As a guide, aim the beam at a point approximately 2/3 of the way across the tank diameter.)3. When the desired position is reached, re-tighten the 5 bolts to 15-23 N m (11 to 17 Lbf-ft).Note: When the Easy Aimer ball is loosened, the device is free to tilt to a maximum of 30°.top clamping plate (upper socket)bottom clamping plate (lower socket)customer gasket as required [recommended thickness 1.5 to 1.8 mm (0.06 to 0.07")]customer mounting plate, as requiredø 4" (102 mm) min., central opening30° max.285 mm (11.22") 0.38" (10 mm)Easy Aimer ball locking boltsEasy Aimer
7ML19985KE01 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  Page 13mmmmmInstallationAir Purging System (Optional)For more frequent cleaning, a purging system can be installed between the flange and the horn antenna. The system provides an 1/8" inlet (female thread) on the flange where cooling air or cleaning fluid passes through the flange and exits the inside of the horn to clean it. The customer will supply the purging medium by a manual or automatic valve system. This option is only available with the universal flange for purging shown on page 14. 1• The purge connection is closed by the manufacturer, using a 1/8" plug. • When the plug is removed to connect a purging system, the operator is responsible for ensuring that the purging circuit conforms to "Ex" requirements:    for example, by fitting an NRV valve. Notes: • The Air Purge feature should not be activated with a dust cap in place.• Purge duration, pressure, and interval, will vary with each application. It is the user’s responsibility to determine the requirements depending on the application and cleaning required.• Short duration bursts of high pressure provide more effective cleaning than continuous low pressure air.• Some dust particles are highly abrasive and can be drawn into the inside of the horn during purge cleaning, damaging the internal PTFE emitter of the antenna. A replacement kit is available from your local Siemens Milltronics representative.• It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that any vacuum or pressure in the measured vessel is maintained, considering the hole that passes through the process connection and SITRANS LR260 antenna system.Recommendation for effective cleaning Air Consumption(Flow rate versus applied pressure)Pressure: 90 to 110 psiAir Pressure Approx. inlet volume flow rate20 5 SCFM40 6 SCFMInlet flow: 10 SCFM 160 8 SCFM80 9 SCFM90 10 SCFM 1.

7ML19985KE01 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  Page 15mmmmmInstallationOptional Dust CapThe dust cap fits onto the end of the horn and prevents the buildup of dust and other process material inside the horn. • It is particularly useful for applications in areas of high humidity, or with bulk solids with a high moisture content. • Three sizes are available, to fit the standard 2", 3" and 4" horns.Installation1. Thoroughly clean inside the horn. If you remove the horn for easier cleaning, take care not to damage or bend the plastic emitter.2. Press the cap firmly onto the horn until the ridge inside the cap snaps into position in the groove on the outside of the horn.3. Hand tighten the adjustable clamp supplied to secure the cap.4. Use a screwdriver or nut driver to tighten the clamp screw until the clamp provides an air-tight seal.Note: The dust cap must be removed before using the Air Purge feature (see Air Purging System (Optional) on page 13).Note: It is critical to ensure no moisture can be trapped inside.plastic emittergroove ridge dust capclamp screw

Then the learned profile, or part of the learned profile, is used to screen out false echoes. See Before Auto False Echo Suppression on page 53 and After Auto False Echo Suppression on page 53 for examples.2.2.5.1. TVT Hover Level Defines how high the TVT (Time Varying Threshold) curve is placed above the noise floor of the echo profile, as a percentage of the difference between the peak of the largest echo in the profile and the noise floor. When SITRANS LR260 is located in the center of the vessel, the TVT hover level may be lowered to increase the confidence level of the largest echo. (For an illustration of the TVT curve see Before Auto False Echo Suppression on page 53.)2.2.5.2.

Check the following:• There is power at the instrument• The LCD shows the relevant data you are expecting• The device can be programmed using the hand programmer2. Verify that the wiring connections are correct.3. Check that the device address is correctly set.4. If you continue to experience problems, go to our website at: . www.siemens.com/processautomation, and check the FAQs for SITRANS LR260, or contact your local Siemens Milltronics representative.Specifically:1. If you try to set a SITRANS LR260 parameter via remote communications, but the parameter remains unchanged:• Some parameters can only be changed when the device is not scanning. Try putting the device in PROGRAM mode using the operating mode function.• Try setting the parameter from the keypad. (First make sure that the lock parameter [6.1] is set to the unlock value.)• The communications control parameter 5.2 must be set to Read/Write to allow you to write parameters to SITRANS LR260.2. If you see unanticipated displays, for example:• PROGRAM mode displayed instead of Measurement mode• the wrong parameter displayed in response to a command• a parameter displayed in response to no commandmake sure no infrared-capable device is close to SITRANS LR260. Any device with infrared capabilities (laptops, cell phones, PDAs) can cause interference which simulates a command to the SITRANS LR260, potentially causing it to switch modes or to change a parameter.3. If the operation is erratic, make sure the Hand Programmer is not being used at the same time as SIMATIC PDM.

Page 86 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985KE01mmmmmD: Technical ReferenceAppendix D: Technical ReferencePrinciples of Operation SITRANS LR260 is a 2-wire 25 GHz pulse radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of solids1. 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 slightly attenuated by dust.SITRANS LR260 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 horn.The signal is emitted from the horn, 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 reference point on the instrument. This distance is used as a basis for the display of material level and mA output.Echo ProcessingProcess IntelligenceThe 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.1. The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.
7ML19985KE01 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 87mmmmmD: Technical ReferenceHigher order mathematical techniques and algorithms are used to provide intelligent processing of microwave reflection profiles. This “knowledge based” technique produces superior performance and reliability.Time Varying Threshold (TVT) CurvesA Time Varying Threshold (TVT) curve 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 curve. In a vessel with obstructions a large false echo may rise above the default TVT. The Auto False Echo Suppression feature (see below) can be used to screen it out.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, amongst other characteristics. The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm (2.2.4.1.1. Algorithm.).Echo LockIf 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 LR260 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected.Echo Position DetectionThe echo position algorithm (2.2.4.1.2. Position) 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 (adjusted by a propagation factor, if necessary).

Page 88 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985KE01mmmmmD: Technical ReferenceThe options are Center, CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit), Hybid or Rising Edge. CLEF uses the leading edge of the echo. It can be used to compensate for materials with a low dK value, which may cause the vessel bottom to be reported as the level instead of the actual material level, in low level conditions. CLEF range is the level below which the CLEF algorithm will be used: above this level the Center algorithm is used. Hybrid uses a combination of Center and CLEF, depending on the setting for CLEF range.Auto False Echo SuppressionIf an obstruction is causing a large echo before the material level echo, that echo will rise above the default TVT curve and may be selected as the true echo. Auto False-Echo Suppression modifies the TVT curve so that the false echo will not rise above the TVT curve. When you use Auto False Echo Suppression, the device first learns the echo profile at that moment1. A learned TVT curve follows the echo profile and rises above the false echo. You set Auto Suppression Range so that the learned profile replaces the default TVT curve up to a point past the obstruction. From that point on, the default TVT curve is used. The material level echo rises above this, and is selected as the true echo.Measurement RangeNear Range2.2.1.11. Near Range programs SITRANS LR260 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 2.2.5.2. Auto False Echo Suppression is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking distance from factory values.1. Use Auto False Echo Suppression when the material level is substantially lower than pro-cess full level (ideally when the tank is empty or almost empty).Example after Auto False Echo Suppression learned TVT curve levelLevel (db)false echo echo marker
7ML19985KE01 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 89mmmmmD: Technical ReferenceFar RangeIn 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 the range extension to 30% or 40% can provide stable empty vessel readings.1Measurement ResponseThe measurement response (response rate) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to changes in the measurement. Once the real process fill/empty rate (m/s) is established, a response rate can be selected that is slightly higher than the application rate. The response rate automatically adjusts the filters that affect the output response rate. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast.mA OutputThe mA output is proportional to the level, in the range 4 to 20 mA. Generally, the output is set so that the output for 0% is 4 mA, and the output for 100% is 20 mA. 0 and 100% are percentages of the full-scale reading (m, cm, mm, ft, in). When SITRANS LR260 is put into PROGRAM mode it stops responding to the process. It stores the most recent measurement, and holds the associated readings and mA signal output. The instrument reverts to the parameter last addressed during the previous program session.1. On 30 m vessel, range extension cannot exceed 31.5 m.2.2.7.2. Fill Rate (FILL RATE/MIN)2.2.7.2.

Page 90 SITRANS LR260 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985KE01mmmmmD: Technical ReferenceWhen the instrument is returned to Measurement mode, the transceiver resumes operation. The reading and mA output default to the last measurement taken. The reading and associated outputs migrate to the current process level at a rate controlled by the response rate (2.2.7.1).If SITRANS LR260 is left in PROGRAM mode for 10 minutes without input, it automatically reverts to Measurement mode.DampingA damping filter smooths out the response to a sudden change in level. This is an exponential filter and the engineering unit is always in seconds. The setting can be modified in 2.2.4.3.2. Damping Filter.Damping example 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. If the LOE condition persists beyond the time limit set in 2.4.1. Fail-safe Timer the LCD displays the Maintenance 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 Fail-safe High. S: 0 LOE    S: 52 FAIL-SAFEFail-safe ModeThe 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. 00.511.522.533.544.51234567Series 1 Ser i es2time constant = 2 secondsinput (level) change = 2 mIn 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.Level (m)Time (s)smoothed outputinput (level)

Parameter 3.14.1 is required to monitor the Internal Temperature. It gives you an excellent indication of how reliably the product will perform thermally when installed on your process vessel.3.14.1 also allows you to decide whether or not attention should be focussed on redesigning the installation. For example, if the internal temperature exceeds the maximum allowable limit, a sun shield or a longer nozzle may be required. Engineering will use this temperature reading (3.14.1) to gauge the extent of change required to the installation in order to provide a reliable thermal-operating zone for the SITRANS LR260.Note: The chart below is for guidance only: WARNING: Internal temperature must not exceed 80 °C (176 °F). 01020304050607080900 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160flangetempera-tureprocesstemperatureAmbient Temperature (oC)Process Flange Surface Temperature (oC)Maximum Flange and Process Temperatures versus allowable ambient for flange adapter versions of SITRANS LR260• The chart does not represent every possible process connection arrangement.
