Recommendations:
• Ensure ambient temperature is within –40 to 80 oC (–40 to 176 oF).
• Provide easy access for viewing the display and programming via the handheld
programmer.
• Ensure the environment is suitable to the housing rating and materials of
construction.
Precautions:
• Avoid proximity to high voltage or current wiring, high voltage or current contacts,
and to variable frequency motor speed controllers.
• Avoid interference to the emission cone from obstructions or from the fill path.
• Avoid central locations on vessels.

WARNING: For vessels with conical or parabolic tops, avoid
mounting the instrument at the centre. (The concavity of the top can
focus echoes into the centre, giving false readings.)
Note:
Under certain circumstances, it may be acceptable to mount SITRANS Probe LR
at the centre of a flat-topped tank: please discuss this with your Siemens Milltronics
representative.

level. Obstructions outside of
the beam may still be detected,
depending on the size, shape,
or distance from the antenna.
• For more detail on false
echoes, see

on page 94.
• Make allowance for the emission cone spreading: allow a minimum of 300 mm (1 ft)
for every 3 m (10 ft) of vessel height.
• Locate the antenna away from the side wall, to avoid interference from indirect
echoes.
• Avoid interference from objects such as ladders or pipes, which can cause false

Notes:
• Use the 100 mm (4") shield on nozzles that are 100 mm (4") in length, or shorter.
• Use the 250 mm (10") shield on nozzles that are 250 mm (10") in length, or shorter.
• If your nozzle is longer than 250 mm (10"), contact your local representative. You will
need to exchange the device for a different model with a longer shield length.
On a nozzle, the end of the shield section should protrude a minimum of 10 mm (0.4”) to
avoid interference.
A manhole cover is typically a covered nozzle with a diameter of 610 mm (24”) or greater.
To provide optimum signal conditions on a manhole cover, locate the antenna off-center,
typically 100 mm (4") from the side.
Note: For details on other applications, see
page 98.
Appendix F: Special Applications
Mounting Instructions
Note: Do not rotate the enclosure after programming and vessel calibration, otherwise
an error may occur, caused by a polarity shift of the transmit pulse.
1. Before inserting SITRANS Probe LR into its mounting connection, check to ensure
the threads are matching, to avoid damaging them.
Installation
2. Simply screw SITRANS Probe LR into the process connection, and hand tighten. For
pressure applications, it will be necessary to use PTFE tape (or other appropriate
thread sealing compound) and tighten the process connection beyond hand tight.
The maximum torque is 40 N-m (30 ft.lbs.).
3. If you want to rotate the enclosure, use a 2 mm Allen key to loosen the three setscrews that secure the locking collar.
4. Once the enclosure is in a suitable position, tighten the set-screws.

SITRANS Probe LR has two modes of operation: RUN and PROGRAM.
RUN Mode
Operation
SITRANS Probe LR automatically starts in RUN mode when power is applied, and detects
the material level. The primary reading displays the material level (in meters) referenced
from Empty (process empty level). This is the default start-up display mode.
System status is displayed on the LCD, or on a remote communications terminal.
Display
1 – Primary Reading (displays level, distance, or volume, in either units or percent)
2 – Secondary Reading (displays Parameter number for Auxiliary Reading1)
3 – Echo status indicator: Reliable Echo or Unreliable Echo
4 – Units or Percent
5 – Active bar graph represents material level
6 – Auxiliary Reading (depending on the parameter selected, it displays milliAmp value,
distance or confidence, with units where applicable)
If the echo confidence drops below the echo confidence threshold, the failsafe timer
starts running. When the timer expires, the letters LOE (Loss of Echo) alternate with the
reading every two seconds, and the Reliable Echo indicator is replaced by the Unreliable
Echo indicator. When a valid reading is received, the level reading display returns to
normal operation.
