Safety notes 2.4 Lithium batteries WARNING Loss of safety of device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety Ex i" If the device or its components have already been operated in non-intrinsically safe circuits or the electrical specifications have not been observed, the safety of the device is no longer ensured for use in hazardous areas.
Page 17: Description
Description SITRANS LR200 Overview SITRANS LR200 is a 2-wire 6 GHz pulse radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of liquids and slurries in storage vessels including high pressure and high temperature, to a range of 20 meters (66 feet). The instrument consists of an electronic component coupled to an antenna and either a threaded or flange type process connection.
Page 18: Programming
SITRANS LR200 is very easy to install and configure via a graphical Human Machine Interface (HMI). You can modify the built in parameters either locally via the Siemens infrared handheld programmer, or from a remote location using one of the following options: ●...
Page 19: Installing/Mounting
Installing/mounting Basic safety notes WARNING Unsuitable connecting parts Risk of injury or poisoning. In case of improper mounting, hot, toxic, and corrosive process media could be released at the connections. • Ensure that connecting parts (such as flange gaskets and bolts) are suitable for connection and process media.
Page 20 • Prevent severe external stresses and loads from acting on the device. Note Material compatibility Siemens can provide you with support concerning selection of sensor components wetted by process media. However, you are responsible for the selection of components. Siemens accepts no liability for faults or failures resulting from incompatible materials.
Page 21: Mounting
Installing/mounting 4.2 Mounting Mounting NOTICE Incorrect mounting The device can be damaged, destroyed, or its functionality impaired through improper mounting. • Before installing ensure there is no visible damage to the device. • Make sure that process connectors are clean, and suitable gaskets and glands are used.
Page 22: Nozzle Design
Installing/mounting 4.2 Mounting 4.2.1.1 Nozzle design ● For nozzles 100 mm (4") in length or shorter use the 100 mm (4") shield. ● For nozzles 250 mm (10") in length or shorter use the 250 mm (10") shield. The end of the shield section or end of the horn should protrude a minimum of 10 mm (0.4”) to avoid false echoes being reflected from the nozzle.

Page 171: Technical Reference
Echo processing B.2.1 Process Intelligence The signal processing technology embedded in Siemens radar level devices is known as Process Intelligence. Process intelligence provides high measurement reliability regardless of the dynamically changing conditions within the vessel being monitored. The embedded Process Intelligence dynamically adjusts to the constantly changing material surfaces within these vessels.
Page 172: Echo Selection
Higher order mathematical techniques and algorithms are used to provide intelligent processing of microwave reflection profiles. This "knowledge based" technique produces superior performance and reliability. B.2.2 Echo Selection Time Varying Threshold (TVT) A Time Varying Threshold (TVT) hovers above the echo profile to screen out unwanted reflections (false echoes).
Page 173 Algorithm (2.8.4.1.) The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. Options are true First Echo, Largest Echo, or best of First and Largest. Position Detect (2.8.4.2.) The echo position detection algorithm determines which point on the echo will be used to calculate the precise time of flight, and calculates the range using the calibrated propagation velocity (see Propagation Factor (2.8.3.) for values).

Page 175: Clef Range
B.2.3 CLEF Range CLEF Range (2.8.4.4.) is referenced from Low Calibration Point (process empty level ). When the Hybrid algorithm is selected in Position Detect (2.8.4.2.), the CLEF algorithm will be applied up to the limit of CLEF Range. Above this limit the Center algorithm will be applied.

(Page 115). Auto False Echo Suppression is designed to learn a specific environment (for example, a particular vessel with known obstructions), and in conjunction with Auto False Echo Suppression Range to remove false echoes appearing in front of the material echo.

Page 203 beam width the angle diametrically subtended by the one-half power limits (-3 dB) of the microwave beam. blanking a blind zone extending away from the reference point plus any additional shield length. The device is programmed to ignore this zone. capacitance the property of a system of conductors and dielectrics that permits the storage of electricity when potential differences exist between the conductors.
Page 204 echo a signal that has been reflected with sufficient magnitude and delay to be perceived in some manner as a signal distinct from that directly transmitted. Echoes are frequently measured in decibels relative to the directly transmitted signal. Echo Confidence describes the quality of an echo.
Page 205 Hertz (Hz): unit of frequency, one cycle per second. 1 Gigahertz (GHz) is equal to 10 horn antenna a conical, horn-shaped antenna which focuses microwave signals. The larger the horn diameter, the more focused the radar beam. inductance the property of an electric circuit by virtue of which a varying current induces an electromotive force in that circuit or in a neighboring circuit.
Page 206 propagation factor (pf) where the maximum velocity is 1.0, pf is a value that represents a reduction in propagation velocity as a result of the wave travelling through a pipe or medium. pulse radar a radar type that directly measures distance using short microwave pulses. Distance is determined by the return transit time.
