Industry Canada

a)Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

b)This device shall be installed and operated in a completely enclosed container to prevent RF emission which otherwise can interfere with aeronautical navigation. Installation shall be done by trained installers, in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

c)The use of this device is on a “no-interference, no-protection” basis. That is, the user shall accept operations of high-powered radar in the same frequency band which may interfere with or damage this device. On the other hand, level probing devices found to interfere with primary licensing operations will be required to be removed at the user’s expense.

d)This level probing device is only permitted for installation inside enclosed containers. The installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km from the Penticton radio astronomy station (British Columbia latitude: 49° 19' 12" N, longitude: 119° 37'12" W). For devices not meeting this 10 km separation (e.g. the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia) the installer/ user must coordinate with and obtain the written concurrence of the Director of the Penticton radio astronomy station before the equipment can be installed or operated. The Penticton contact is Tel: [phone]/ fax: [phone]. (In case of difficulty, the Manager, Radio Equipment Standards, Industry Canada, may also be contacted.)

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 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).

LR560 SITRANS

Programming

SITRANS 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.

Local Display Interface (LDI)

•LDI may be ordered installed or added later as

an option

•can be mounted in 1 of 4 positions at 90 degree intervals, for easy viewing after installation

• displays level and diagnostic information including echo profile and trend over time

• backlit for easy viewing in dimly lit areas

•allows you to copy parameters from one device to another

•provides high speed firmware transfer capabilities for future upgrades

Versions

Two different versions of the LR560 are available:

•40 m range, +100 °C maximum process temperature

•100 m range, +200 °C maximum process temperature

Applications

•solids bulk storage vessels

•cement powder, plastic powder/pellets, grain, flour, coal, and other applications

Installation

Installation

WARNINGS:

•Installation shall only be performed 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 label for approval information.

•SITRANS LR560 units are pressure tested, meeting or exceeding the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European Pressure Equipment Directive.

•The serial numbers stamped in each process connection body provide a unique identification number indicating date of manufacture.

Example: MMDDYY – XXX (where MM = month, DD = day, YY = year, and XXX= sequential unit produced)

Further markings (space permitting) indicate flange configuration, size, pressure class, material, and material heat code.

Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC

Note: Pertains to pressure-rated version only.

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 pressure accessory. However, in accordance with PED, 97/23/EC, Article 3, section 3, this equipment has been designated and manufactured in accordance with Sound Engineering Practice (SEP) (see EU Commission Guideline 1/5).

Notes:

•Correct location is key to a successful application.

•Avoid reflective interference from vessel walls and obstructions by following the guidelines below.

Nozzle location

Notes:

•For details on avoiding false echoes, see Shaper Mode (2.8.4.) on page 126.

Beam angle

•Beam angle is the width of the cone where the energy density is half of the peak energy density.

•The peak energy density is directly in front of and in line with the antenna.

•There is a signal transmitted outside the beam angle, therefore false targets may be detected.

Installation

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.

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.

40	10
50	15
80	20
100	25

Recommended 90 to 110 psi for effective cleaning1)

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.
