![7ML19985KB01 SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 5mmmmmSITRANS LR560SITRANS LR560 OverviewSITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of solids in vessels to a range of 100 m (329 ft). The plug and play performance is ideal for all solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high temperatures to +200 °C (+392 °F). The device is an electronic circuit coupled to a lens antenna and flange for quick and easy positioning. The main benefits of using 78 GHz over devices using lower frequency are:• very narrow beam, so device is insensitive to mounting nozzle interference and vessel obstructions.• short wavelength yields very good reflection properties on sloped solids, so aiming towards material angle of repose is usually not necessary.The technology is very tolerant to buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet is provided for periodic cleaning if required.SITRANS LR560 supports HART communication protocol, and SIMATIC PDM software. Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar).ProgrammingSITRANS LR560 is very easy to install and configure via an optional graphical local display interface. You can modify the built-in parameters either locally via the push buttons or using the infra-red handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one of the following options:• HART (using 375 handheld Field Communicator, SIMATIC PDM, AMS, Pactware FDT/DTM)• PROFIBUS PA (using SIMATIC PDM, FDT [such as PACTware or Fieldcare]) (See SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) Instruction Manual for more information.)• Foundation Fieldbus FF (using handheld 375 Field Communicator, FF host system or AMS Device Manager) [See SITRANS LR560 (Foundation Fieldbus) Instruction Manual for more information.]Once programmed, the graphic Local Display Interface (LDI) can be removed if desired and used to transfer parameters to multiple SITRANS LR560s.](https://usermanual.wiki/Siemens-Canada-Siemens-Milltronics-Process-Instruments/LR560.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-1395471-Page-11.png)
