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.

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.
Direct SITRANS LR560 so the antenna is pointed at an angle perpendicular to the
material surface, if possible.
When the desired position is reached, re-tighten the locking ring using the
C spanner, and tighten set screws.
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 provides 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.
Installation
mmmmm
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.

Level application example
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.
Therefore SLOW response rate (0.1 m/minute) can be selected.

1.2. AFES (Auto False Echo Suppression) Wizard
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.
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.

CLEF Range
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.
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.

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.
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 microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.

See Dimensions on page 12.
7ML19985LY01
SITRANS LR560 (FF) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Page 137
mmmmm
1)
D: Technical Reference
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
point to the material surface).
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).
D: Technical Reference
mmmmm
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.
default TVT
echo profile

level
echo marker
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.
Page 138
SITRANS LR560 (FF)– INSTRUCTION MANUAL
7ML19985LY01
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.

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.

for radar.
Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.)
Notes:
• To access this feature via AMS see TVT on page 54.
• For detailed instructions on using this feature via the handheld programmer see
Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.) on page 100.
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:
7ML19985LY01
SITRANS LR560 (FF) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Page 143
mmmmm
•
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
Note: Units are defined in Unit (2.3.1.) and are in meters by default.
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.).
Response Rate

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.
Page 144
SITRANS LR560 (FF)– INSTRUCTION MANUAL
7ML19985LY01
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.
