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 consists of 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 of buildup on the lens antenna, however an air purge inlet is provided for periodic cleaning if required. SITRANS LR560 supports Foundation Fieldbus communication protocol, and AMS Device Manager software. Signals are processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven in over 1,000,000 applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar). This device can be configured as an FF (H1) Link Master.ProgrammingSITRANS LR560 is very easy to install and configure via an optional graphical local display interface (LDI). You can modify the built-in parameters either locally, using the control buttons or the infrared handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one of the following options:•PROFIBUS PA [using SIMATIC PDM, or FDT (such as PACTware). See SITRANS LR560 (PROFIBUS PA) Instruction Manual for more information.]•HART [using handheld 375 Field Communicator, SIMATIC PDM, AMS, or FDT (such as PACTware). See SITRANS LR560 (mA/HART) Instruction Manual for more information.]•Foundation Fieldbus (FF) [using handheld 375 Field Communicator, an FF host system, or AMS]. 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-FF/User-Guide-2312647-Page-12.png)

Radar level measurement uses the time of flight principle to determine distance to a material surface. FMCW radar transmits a continuous wave. The frequency of the wave is constantly increasing: this is known as the sweep. By the time the first part of the wave has been reflected off the target and returned to the device, the part of the wave that is just being emitted is at a higher frequency. The difference in frequency between the transmitted and received signals is proportional to time of flight. 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 LR560 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process connection. The electronic circuit generates a radar signal (78 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 sensor reference point2) to the material surface. This value (sensor value) is used as a basis for calculating the display of material level.Process VariablesThe Process Variables are sensor value and measured value. Sensor value is the distance from the sensor reference point (flange face) to the material surface. Since LR560 does not support Volume, the Measured value can be either Level (distance from low calibration point to material surface), or Distance (distance from sensor reference point to the material surface). Note: Where the number follows the parameter name [for example, Algorithm (2.4.5.1.)] this is the parameter access number via the handheld programmer. See Parameter Reference on page 86 for a complete list of parameters.1) The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.2) See Dimensions on page 12.](https://usermanual.wiki/Siemens-Canada-Siemens-Milltronics-Process-Instruments/LR560.User-Manual-FF/User-Guide-2312647-Page-143.png)
