Communication Troubleshooting
1. Check the following:
• There is power at the instrument.
• The LCD shows the relevant data.
• The device can be programmed using the handheld programmer.
• If any fault codes are being displayed see 
General Fault Codes 
 on page 130 for a 
detailed list.
2. Verify that the wiring connections are correct.
3. See the table below for specific symptoms (continued on next page).
Symptom Corrective action
The device cannot be pro-
grammed via the handheld 
programmer.
Make sure Write Protection (6.2.1.) is set to the unlock 
value, and that Local Operation (6.2.2.) is enabled.
You try to set a SITRANS 
LR560 parameter via remote 
communications but the 
parameter remains 
unchanged.
• Ensure Remote Lockout (6.1.1.) on page 121 is disabled.
•Ensure Write Protection (6.2.1.) on page 122 is set to 
the unlock value.
The controller value equals 
the display value but does 
not correspond to actual 
material level.
•
Ensure Scaling in AIFB 1 is correctly entered.
• Ensure High Calibration Point is correctly entered.
• View the echo profile to see if the wrong echo is 
being selected. If so, see 
Operation Troubleshooting 
on page 134 for possible causes and corrective 
action.
The controller value is not 
equal to the displayed value 
(regardless of actual material 
level).
• Confirm you are looking at the right spot in the con-
troller.
• Ensure scaling has not been programmed into the 
controller: all scaling should be performed by the 
LR560.
• Check the network to ensure the controller is com-
municating with the LR560.
Only the AIFB 1 and AIFB 2 
parameters are displayed via 
LUI
•Ensure Local Operation (6.2.2.) on page 122 is enabled
