For a detailed description of the pushbuttons and their functions, see “8.1 Display and
pushbuttons”.
3.3 Product features and functions
3.3.1 Principle of operation
The LFP uses TDR (Time Domain Reectometry) technology.
This is a process to determine transit times of electromagnetic waves. The sensor
electronics generate a low-energy electromagnetic pulse, which is linked to and runs
along the probe.
If this pulse strikes the surface of the liquid to be measured, a portion of the pulse
is reected there and is conducted back up along the probe path to the electronics,
which then calculate the level based on the time dierence between the sent and the
received pulse.
The sensor can output this level as a continuous measured value (analog output) and
can also derive two and/or four freely positionable switching points from it (switching
outputs).
IO-Link communication is also available for the switching output (Q1),
see “8.1.3 IO-Link”.

3.3.2 Fields of application
The innovative TDR technology enables reliable level measurement which is largely
application-independent. The LFP is suitable for both continuous level measurement
and point level measurement in nearly all liquids.
The sensor is not aected by changes in the properties of the liquids to be measured.
The LFP can be used in metal containers or bypass/immersion pipes. A coaxial tube is
required for use in plastic containers.

5.1 Installation conditions
The LFP is mounted vertically from above into the container or bypass, using its process
connection. The LFP level sensor has a G ¾ or ¾" NPT threaded connection. A minimum
connecting piece diameter in accordance with the diagrams below must be observed.
The LFP must be installed so that after mounting there is sucient distance to other tank
components (e.g. supply tubes, other measurement devices), the container wall or the
container bottom. These minimum distances are also specied in the diagrams.
The LFP can also be used in a metal immersion pipe or bypass. The installation
conditions are shown in the Figure on page 15.
Ensure that there is a good metallic connection between the LFP measuring device and
the tank/bypass. When operating the sensor, ensure that the ambient temperature is not
above or below the limits.
Insulating the sensor housing is not permitted for tanks with hot media.
When positioning the device, ensure that the sensor is not directly exposed to the lling ow.
The sensor housing can be rotated 360°, allowing for the cable outlet to be positioned
freely.

5.2 Mounting the coaxial tube
See the operating instructions for the coaxial tube (8015674) at www.sick.com.
5.3 Shortening or replacing the probe rod/rope probe
If the probe rod or rope probe is too long for the application, it can be shortened to the
container height. In this case, you should not shorten the probe beyond its minimum
length of 100 mm. If the LFP is to be used in a hygienic application, then be sure that
the roughness of Ra≤0.8 µm is reestablished on the shortened machined surfaces of
the mono-probe.
5.3.1 Procedure
Shorten the probe rod and/or rope probe as desired. Adjust the new probe length in the
LFP, see “8.4.7 Conguring the probe length”. Ensure that this correction corresponds
to the probe length, because an incorrect value in the Length menu has a direct eect
on measurement accuracy and can lead to faults. The probe length L is set out in
Chapter “15 Dimensional drawings”.
The probe rod and/or the rope probe can be swapped. Use a suitable tool. If the system
experiences strong vibrations, secure the probe with thread-locking lacquer.

following standards: DIN VDE 0100 (Part 430) and DIN VDE 0298 (Part 4) and/or
DIN VDE 0891 (Part 1).
• Circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV circuits
(SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage).
• Protect the device with a separate fuse at the start of the supply circuit.
Instructions for laying data cables:
• Use screened data cables with twisted-pair wires.
• Implement the screening design correctly and completely.
• To avoid interference, e.g. from switching power supplies, motors, clocked drives,
and contactors, always use cables and layouts that are suitable for EMC.
• Do not lay cables over long distances in parallel with voltage supply cables and
motor cables in cable channels.

6.2.1 Overview of the electrical connections
The sensor is connected using a pre-assembled female cable connector with
M12 x 1 plug connector (5/8-pin). With the power switched o, plug the female
cable connector into the sensor and screw it tight.
Connect the cable according to its function. After the supply voltage is set up, the
sensor performs a self-test. Once installed, the sensor is ready for operation upon
completion of the self-test (< 5 s). The display shows the current measured value.
