The settings can be modified locally via the Local User Interface (LUI) which consists of an LCD display and a handheld programmer. A Quick Start Wizard provides an easy step-by-step guide to help you configure the device for a simple application. There are two ways to access the wizard:•7-step Quick Start Wizard via the handheld programmer on page 33•4-step Quick Start Wizard via SIMATIC PDM on page 39For more complex setups, see Appendix E: Application Example on page 111, and for the complete range of parameters see Parameter Reference on page 51.Activating SITRANS LR260Power up the instrument.

LCD ContrastThe factory setting is for optimum visibility at room temperature and in average light conditions. Extremes of temperature will lessen the contrast. Adjust the value to improve visibility in different temperatures and luminosity. Change the LCD contrast in small steps to ensure you can continue to read the display and to prevent viewing difficulties.4.4.

![Page 104 SITRANS LR260 (PROFIBUS PA)– OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A5E32337685mmmmmD: 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 [Algorithm (2.2.3.1.1.)]. 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.•Echo 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 (2.2.3.1.3. 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). The options are Center or CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit), Hybrid, or Rising Edge. CLEF uses the leading edge of the echo. It can be used to compensate for materials with High Cal.

Allow a current reserve for safety. PROFIBUS addressA unique PROFIBUS address identifies each device on the network. To set the PROFIBUS address see Device Address (5.1.) on page 88.Resetting the PROFIBUS address to 126:• Via SIMATIC PDM:a) Open the menu Device – Device Reset and click on Reset Address to 126.b) 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:a) Navigate to Service (4.) > Device Reset (4.1.). (You can enter the numeric value instead of navigating via the Arrow keys.)b) 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.c) Press LEFT Arrow to exit.Operating as a Profile DeviceEvery 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 LR260 can be identified in one of three ways:Notes:• 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.
