Industry Canada
The SITRANSLR560 complies with Industry Canada standard RSS211 (March 2015).
a. The installation of the SITRANS LR560 shall be done by trained installers, in
strict compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
b. 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. However,
devices found to interfere with primary licensing operations will be
required to be removed at the user's expense.
c. The installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km from
the Dominion Astrophysical Radio Observatory (DRAO) near Penticton,
British Columbia. The coordinates of the DRAO are latitude 49°19’15" N and
longitude 119°37’12" W. For devices not meeting this 10 km separation (e.g.,
those in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia,) the installer/user must
coordinate with, and obtain the written concurrence of, the Director of the
DRAO before the equipment can be installed or operated. The Director of
the DRAO may be contacted at 250-497-2300 (tel.) or 250-497-2355 (fax).
(Alternatively, the Manager, Regulatory Standards, Industry Canada, may
be contacted.)
US Installations only: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules

• This device 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, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his/her own expense.
• This device may be used to measure levels in fixed or mobile enclosed tanks.
• This device may be used to measure levels in open air environments or outside
enclosed tanks, subject to the following conditions:

R&TTE Compliance (Europe)
Hereby, Siemens, declares that the SITRANS LR560 is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
The LR560 complies with EN 302 372 for use in closed storage vessels, when installed
according to the installation requirements of EN 302 372, and may be used in all EU
countries.
The LR560 complies with EN 302 729 for use outside of closed tanks in EU countries. For
open air installations, the following conditions must be observed:
Installation and maintenance is performed by suitably qualified and trained
personnel.
The LR560 shall be installed only in a permanent fixed position pointing downwards.
Its location shall comply with the following two restrictions:
1) It shall be installed with a minimum separation distance of 4 km from Radio
Astronomy sites listed at www.craf.eu/raobs.htm
has been provided by the responsible national regulatory authority.
2) If it is installed at a location between 4 and 40 km from any Radio Astronomy site
listed at www.craf.eu/raobs.htm
exceeding 15m from the ground.
SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter for continuous
monitoring of solids and liquids 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).
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:
•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.

Installation
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).
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
supplied C spanner, 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.
