SITRANS LR560 (FF)
SITRANS LR560 Overview
SITRANS 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 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.
Programming
SITRANS 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.

Installation
Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC
SITRANS LR560 Radar Level Measurement instrument falls below the limits of Article 3,
sections 1 & 2 of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED, 97/23/EC) as a category I pres-
sure accessory. However, in accordance with PED, 97/23/EC, Article 3, section 3, this
equipment has been designed and manufactured in accordance with Sound Engineering
Practice (SEP) (see EU Commission Guideline 1/5).
WARNINGS:
Installation shall be performed only by qualified personnel and in
accordance with local governing regulations.
SITRANS LR560 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this manual,
otherwise protection provided by the device may be impaired.
Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection
or instrument housing while vessel contents are under pressure.
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.
Pressure rated versions of the SITRANS LR560 are pressure tested, meeting or
exceeding the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the
European Pressure Equipment Directive.

Installation
Mounting location
Nozzle location
Beam angle
Beam angle is the width of the cone
where the energy density is half of
the peak energy density
Peak energy density is directly in
front of and in line with the antenna.
Signal is transmitted outside the
beam angle; therefore false targets
may be detected.
Emission cone
Keep emission cone free of
interference from ladders, pipes,
I-beams or filling streams.
Avoid central locations on tall,
narrow vessels.
LR560 uses circular polarization.
Rotation of device is not required to
optimize signal.
Environment
Provide easy access for
viewing the display and
programming via the
handheld programmer.
Provide an environment
suitable to the ambient
temperature rating.
Use a sunshield if the
instrument will be
mounted in direct
sunlight.
Notes:
Correct location is key to a successful application.
Avoid reflective interference from vessel walls and obstructions by following the
guidelines below.

Installation
1) For 4" and 6" Aimer: loosen the set screws in the locking ring.
Holding the electronics enclosure firmly, loosen the Aimer locking ring using the C
spanner supplied, until the LR560 drops down slightly. The enclosure can then be
turned freely.
2) Direct SITRANS LR560 so the antenna is pointed at an angle perpendicular to the
material surface, if possible.
3) When the desired position is reached, re-tighten the locking ring using the
C spanner, and tighten set screws.
4) For the 3" Aimer flange, tapered split washers with pressure rated versions are
provided to keep nuts and bolts perpendicular to the flange surface.
Air Purging System
For convenient cleaning, a purging inlet is provided above the antenna. The system pro-
vides an 1/8" inlet (female thread) above the antenna where clean, dry air passes to the
face of the antenna lens to clean it. The customer will supply the purging air by a manual
or automatic valve system.
Notes:
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.
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 LR560 antenna system.
Aiming is not required
for signal optimization
with 78 GHz
frequency.
Aiming will assist in
measuring material
in the cone.

Purge Connection
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. 1)
Purge airflow
The purge airflow is designed to create a strong vortex of air that rapidly cleans the
face of the lens.
The air purge system can clean both dust and moisture off the lens.
It can be used for periodic cleaning.

The application is a vessel that takes an average 3 hours (180 minutes) to fill and 3 weeks
to empty.
Fill rate = 0.08 m/minute [(Low Cal Pt. minus High Cal Pt.) / fastest of fill or empty time]
= (15.5 m – 1 m) / 180 min.
= 14.5 m /180 min. = 0.08 m/min.

Operating via AMS Device Manager
AMS Device Manager is a software package used to commission and maintain SITRANS
LR560 and other process devices. Please consult the operating instructions or online help
for details on using AMS Device Manager version 9.0. (You can find more information at
http://www.emersonprocess.com/AMS/.)
Functions in AMS Device Manager
AMS Device Manager monitors the process values, alarms and status signals of the
device. It allows you to display, compare, adjust, verify, and simulate process device data.
Device configuration and monitoring is performed via parameters organized into three
function groups:
• Configure/Setup
Device Diagnostics
•Process Variables
The way the device handles these parameters is described in terms of a Block Model. See
the manual,
Foundation Fieldbus for Level instruments (7ML19985MP01)
,
for details.
Four blocks have responsibility for handling these parameters:
Level Transducer Block (LTB)
LCD Transducer Block (LCD)
Diagnostic Transducer Block (DIAG)
Resource Block (RES)
Within each function group, parameters are associated with a particular Function Block.

1.2. AFES (Auto False Echo Suppression) Wizard
If you have a vessel with known obstructions, we recommend using AFES to prevent
false echo detection.
This feature can also be used if SITRANS LR560 displays a false high level, or the
reading is fluctuating between the correct level and a false high level.
a) Make sure the material level is below all known obstructions.
b) Navigate to Level Meter >
Diagnostics (3.) > Echo Profile (3.1.)
and press RIGHT arrow to
request a profile.
c) Determine a range that includes the
false echo but not the true echo: in
the example, 3.3 m.
d) Open the AFES wizard and press
DOWN arrow to continue.
e) Press RIGHT arrow to edit Auto
False Echo Suppression Range.
f) Enter the new range value and press
RIGHT arrow to transfer it.
(continued on next page)
Notes:
Before using AFES wizard, configure the device via the Quick Start wizard.
Make sure material level is below all known obstructions at the moment Auto
False Echo Suppression is used to learn a custom TVT (Time Varying
Threshold). We recommend an empty or almost empty vessel.
Note the distance to material level when the environment is learned, and set
Auto False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter distance to avoid the material
echo being screened out.

Parameters
2.4.5.2. Position Detect
Defines where on the echo the distance measurement is determined. (See
Position Detect (2.4.5.2.) on page 139 for more detail.)
If the vessel bottom is being reported as the level instead of the actual
material level (at low level conditions), we recommend setting Position
Detect to Hybrid and using it in combination with CLEF Range (2.4.5.4.).
2.4.5.3. Echo Threshold
Sets the minimum echo confidence that the echo must meet in order to
prevent a Loss of Echo condition and the expiration of the LOE timer. When
Confidence (2.4.7.1.) exceeds Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.), the echo is
accepted as a valid echo and is evaluated.
Use this feature when an incorrect material level is reported.
Note: Selecting Steel or Concrete vessel type in the Quick Start wizard
changes the setting for Position Detect (2.4.5.2.) to Rising Edge.

Parameters
2.4.5.4. CLEF Range
The CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit) algorithm is used mainly to allow
correct level reporting for low dK materials which may otherwise cause an
incorrect reading in an empty or almost empty vessel.
It is used from Far Range up to the level defined by CLEF Range (see
illustration below). Above that point the Center algorithm is used. For more
detail see CLEF Range (2.4.5.4.) on page 141.
2.4.5.5. Echo Marker
The point on the primary echo on which the measured value is based.
Use this feature if the reported material level fluctuates slightly, due to a
variable rise in the leading edge of the true echo on the Echo Profile.
Enter the value (in percent of echo height) to ensure the Echo Lock
Window intersects the Echo Profile at the sharpest rising portion of the
Echo Profile representing the true echo. This value is preset to 70%.
Notes:
CLEF Range is referenced from Far Range.
The value for CLEF Range must include the difference between Far
Range and Low Calibration Point, plus any level above the Low
Calibration Point to be managed by the CLEF algorithm.

Parameters
2.4.6.4. Echo Lock Window
A “distance window” centered on the echo
1)
is used to derive the reading.
When a new measurement is in the window, the window is re-centered
and the reading is calculated.
When the value is 0, the window is automatically calculated after each
measurement.
For slower Measurement Response values, the window is narrow.
For faster Measurement Response values, the window becomes
progressively wider.
2.4.7. Echo Quality
2.4.7.1. Confidence
Read only. Indicates echo reliability: higher values represent better echo
quality. The display shows the echo confidence of the last measurement.
Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.) defines the minimum criterion for echo
confidence.
2.4.7.2. Echo Strength

Parameters
2.4.8. TVT (Auto False Echo Suppression) Setup
2.4.8.1. Auto False Echo Suppression
Used together with Auto False Echo Suppression Range (2.4.8.2.) to screen
out false echoes in a vessel with known obstructions.
A ’learned TVT’ (time
varying threshold) replaces the default TVT over a specified range.
a) Make sure material level is below all known obstructions when
Auto False Echo Suppression is used to learn the echo profile. (An
empty or almost empty vessel is recommended.)
b) Determine Auto False Echo Suppression Range. Measure the actual
distance from the sensor reference point to the material surface
using a rope or tape measure.
c) Subtract 0.5 m (20") from this distance, and enter the resulting value
in Auto False Echo Suppression Range.
Notes:
Default settings in the parameter tables are indicated with an asterisk (*)
unless explicitly stated.

2.4.8.3. 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. (See Before
Auto False Echo Suppression on page 100 for an illustration.)
When SITRANS LR560 is located in the center of the vessel, the TVT hover
level may be lowered to increase the confidence level of the largest echo.
Note: Note the distance to material level when Auto False Echo learns
the environment. Set Auto False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter
distance to avoid the material echo being screened out.

D: Technical Reference
Appendix D: Technical Reference
Principles of Operation
SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous
monitoring of solids in vessels1). 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 Variables
The 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

Echo Processing
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.
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 (2.4.8.1.)
on page 142 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 (2.4.5.1.)
The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. Options
are Area Largest First, Echo Area, Largest Echo, True First, Area Largest, Area First,
Largest First, Best of First or Largest, Best Largest, Best First, or LAST.

Position Detect (2.4.5.2.)
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. There are four options:
• Rising
•Center
•Hybrid
CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit)
Rising
Uses rising edge of the echo.
Center
Uses center of the echo.
Hybrid
Uses combination of Center and CLEF.
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.

CLEF Range (2.4.5.4.)
Determines the level below which the CLEF algorithm will be used. Above this level the
Center algorithm is used when Hybrid is selected in Position Detect (2.4.5.2.).
CLEF Range is referenced from Far Range.96
Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.)
Confidence (2.4.7.1.) 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.
Echo Lock (2.4.6.1.)
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 LR560 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 (2.4.8.1.)
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 (2.4.8.2.)
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 (2.4.1.)
Near Range programs SITRANS LR560 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The
default blanking distance is 27.8 cm (0.91 ft) from the sensor reference point.
Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But Auto
False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.) is generally recommended in preference to extending
the blanking distance from factory values.
Far Range (2.4.2.)
Far Range allows the echo processing to see and process signals that are lower than the
Low Calibration setting.
Potential uses are:
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.
Where Low Calibration setting is above vessel empty level, but the vessel is emptied
occasionally. In this case the echo will be tracked below the Low Calibration setting
and the device will maintain a zero level reading.

Measurement Response
Response Rate (2.3.6.1.) 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/min by default) is established, a response rate
can be selected that is slightly higher than the application rate. Changing Response Rate
resets Fill Rate/Min (2.3.6.2.), and Empty rate/Min (2.3.6.3.).
Damping
Filter Time Constant (2.5.7.1.) 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.
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 (2.4.7.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher
quality.
Echo Threshold (2.4.5.3.) defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to
be accepted as valid and evaluated.
Note: Units are defined in Unit (2.3.1.) and are in meters by default.

If the LOE condition persists beyond the time limit set in Loss of Echo (LOE) Timer
(2.3.4.) the LCD displays the Maintenance Alarm 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:
S: 0 LOE S: 2 NO TECH POWER
Upon receiving a reliable echo, the loss of echo condition is aborted, the Maintenance
Alarm icon and error message are cleared, and the reading returns to the current level.
Loss of Echo (LOE) Timer (2.3.4.)
LOE Timer determines the length of time a Loss of Echo (LOE) condition will persist
before the function block will show a status of BAD or UNCERTAIN. The default is
100.000 seconds.
