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.
Mounting location Notes: • Correct location is key to a successful application. • Avoid reflective interference from vessel walls and obstructions by following the guidelines below. Nozzle location min. 1 m (39") 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.
Environment • • Provide easy access for viewing the display and programming via the hand programmer. Provide an environment suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction. ambient temperature –40 °C to +80 °C (–40 °F to +176 °F) process temperature –40 to +100 °C (–40 to +212 °F) or –40 to +200 °C (–40 to +392 °F) depending on the version Sunshield Installation mmmmm The LR560 display can be protected by an optional sunshield if the instrument will be mounted in direct sunlight.
Aimer Adjustment Note: Aiming will assist in measuring material in the cone. 3" flange Aiming is not required for signal optimization with 78 GHz frequency. 3. 4. Aimer 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.
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.

Use this feature when an incorrect material level is reported. 2.7.3.3.
2.7.3.4. CLEF Range Notes: • CLEF Range is referenced from Far Range. • The value for CLEF Range must include the difference between Far Range and Low Calibration Point, plus any level above the Low Calibration Point to be managed by the CLEF algorithm. The CLEF algorithm is used mainly to allow correct level reporting for low dK materials which may otherwise cause an incorrect reading in an empty or almost empty vessel.

Values Range: 0 to 45 m (or 105 m, depending on model) Default: 0 m When the value is 0, the window is automatically calculated after each measurement. • For slower Measurement Response values, the window grows at a slower rate. For faster Measurement Response values, the window grows at a faster rate.
2.7.5.3. Average Amount The fraction of the old shot data that is kept for averaging purposes. A higher value will give a smoother profile at the expense of a slower echo profile response. Values 0.0 to 1.0 Default: 0.75 2.7.6. Echo Quality 2.7.6.1. Confidence Indicates echo reliability: higher values represent better echo quality. The display shows the echo confidence of the last measurement. Echo Threshold (2.7.3.2.) defines the minimum criterion for echo confidence.

Appendix C: Maintenance SITRANS LR560 requires no maintenance or cleaning under normal operating conditions. Under severe operating conditions, the antenna may require periodic cleaning. If cleaning becomes necessary: • Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that will not react adversely with either. • Remove the instrument from service and wipe the antenna clean using a cloth and suitable cleaning solution.
Appendix D: Technical Reference Note: Where a number follows the parameter name (for example, Device (2.1.) this is the parameter access number via the local push buttons or handheld programmer. See Parameter Reference on page 76 for a complete list of parameters. Principles of Operation SITRANS LR560 is a 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of solids in vessels to a range of 100 m (329 ft)1).
Echo Processing 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.
Algorithm (2.7.3.1.) The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm. For a list of options see Algorithm (2.7.3.1.) on page 88. Position Detect (2.7.3.3.) 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.
Example: CLEF off: Position set to Hybrid Vessel height: 1.5 m; CLEF range set to 0 (Center algorithm gives the same result.) default TVT vessel bottom echo selected material echo echo marker Example: CLEF enabled Vessel height: 1.5 m; CLEF range set to 0.5 m default TVT material echo selected vessel bottom echo echo marker Echo Threshold (2.7.3.2.) Confidence (2.7.6.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality.
Echo Lock (2.7.4.1.) If the echo selected by Algorithm is within the Echo Lock window, the window is centered about the echo, which is used to derive the measurement. In radar applications, two measurement verification options are used: Lock Off SITRANS LR560 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected.
Auto False Echo Suppression Range must be set to a distance shorter than the distance to the material level when the environment was learned, to avoid the material echo being screened out. Example before Auto False Echo Suppression sensor reference point High Cal. Pt. =1m obstruction at 13 m default TVT false echo material echo material level at 31 m Low Cal. Pt.
Measurement Response Note: Units are defined in Quick Start Wizard (1.1.) and are in meters by default. Response Rate (2.4.1.) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to changes in the measurement. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast. Once the real process fill/empty rate (m/s by default) is established, a response rate can be selected that is slightly higher than the application rate.
Sensor Mode (2.2.2.) This parameter controls the input. Depending on the reference point used, the measurement reports either Level, Space, or Distance. By default Sensor Mode is set to Distance.
Loss of Echo (LOE) A loss of echo (LOE) occurs when the calculated measurement is judged to be unreliable because the echo confidence value has dropped below the echo confidence threshold. Confidence (2.7.6.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality. Echo Threshold (2.7.3.2.) defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated. If the LOE condition persists beyond the time limit set in Timer (2.5.2.

There are four basic types of antenna in radar level measurement, horn, parabolic, rod, and waveguide.
dielectric constant is directly proportional to an increase in signal amplitude. The value is usually given relative to a vacuum /dry air: the dielectric constant of air is 1. echo: a signal reflected with sufficient magnitude and delay to be perceived as a signal distinct from that are directly transmitted. Echoes are frequently measured in decibels relative to the directly transmitted signal. Echo confidence: describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality.
