This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense
SITRANS LR 200 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this manual, otherwise protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
SITRANS LR 200 is a 2-wire loop-powered, continuous level-measuring instrument that utilizes
advanced pulse radar technology at 5.8 GHz (6.3 GHz in the USA). The instrument consists of an
electronic component coupled to the antenna and process connection.
