Installation

WARNINGS:

• Handle the device using the enclosure, not the antenna or the device tag, to avoid damage.

• Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with local governing regulations.

• SITRANS LR200 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.

• Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or inertness) for general purposes. For exposure to specific environments, check with chemical compatibility charts before installing.

• The user is responsible for the selection of bolting and gasket materials which will fall within the limits of the flange and its intended use and which are suitable for the service conditions.

• Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure.

1)

Notes:

• Refer to the device nameplate for approval information.

• The Process Device Tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly

1

.

In the event the instrument package is replaced, the Process Device Tag shall be transferred to the replacement unit.

• SITRANS LR200 units are hydrostatically tested, meeting or exceeding the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European

Pressure Equipment Directive.

• The serial numbers stamped in each process connection body provide a unique identification number indicating date of manufacture.

Example: MMDDYY – XXX (where MM = month, DD = day, YY = year, and

XXX= sequential unit produced)

Further markings (space permitting) indicate flange configuration, size, pressure class, material, and material heat code.

1)

The process pressure boundary assembly comprises the components that act as a barrier against pressure loss from the process vessel: that is, the combination of process connection body and emitter, but normally excluding the electrical enclosure.

Page 14 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A5E32337676

Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC

Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process mounts have no pressure-bearing housing of their own and, therefore, do not come under the Pressure Equipment Directive as pressure or safety accessories, (see EU Commission

How to select a passive barrier for SITRANS LR200

To make sure that the barrier safety description is suitable for the LR200 Intrinsically Safe

(IS) input parameters, carry out the following calculations:

Re-e = max. end-to-end resistance of the barrier

Rloop = loop resistance (total of cable resistance plus any additional series resistance, for example, PLC inputs and/or displays)

Vbarrier = value of any non-linear voltage drops due to the barrier

1) Determine the value for Re-e from the data sheet.

2) Calculate the total value for Rloop.

3) Calculate Rworking = Re-e + Rloop.

4) Determine the value of Vbarrier from the barrier data sheet (for example, voltage drops due to diodes).

5) Calculate Vworking = Vsupply – Vbarrier.

Use the values for Vworking and Rworking to confirm that operation is within the

shaded area of the graph

Level application example

The application is a vessel that takes an average 3 hours (180 minutes) to fill and 3 weeks to empty.

Fill rate = 0.08 m/minute [(Low Cal Pt. minus High Cal Pt.) / fastest of fill or empty time]

= (15.5 m – 1 m) / 180 min.

= 14.5 m /180 min. = 0.08 m/min.

Auto False Echo Suppression

Notes:

• Make sure material level is below all known obstructions at the moment Auto False

Echo Suppression is used to learn the echo profile. We recommend an empty or almost empty vessel.

• Note the distance to material level when the environment is learned, and set Auto

False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter distance to avoid the material echo being screened out.

• Set Auto False Echo Suppression and Auto False Echo Suppression Range during startup, if possible.

• If the vessel contains an agitator it should be running.

• Before adjusting these parameters, rotate the instrument for best signal (lower false-echo amplitude).

If you have a vessel with known obstructions, we recommend using Auto False Echo

Suppression to prevent false echo detection. This feature can also be used if the device displays a false high level, or the reading is fluctuating between the correct level and a false high level.

The device learns the echo profile over the whole measurement range and the TVT is shaped around all echoes present at that moment. (See

Auto False Echo Suppression (2.8.7.1.)

on page 128 for a more detailed explanation.)

The learned TVT will be applied over a specified range. The default TVT is applied over the remainder of the measurement range.

1) Make sure the material level is below all known obstructions.

2) Determine Auto False Echo Suppression Range. Measure the actual distance from the sensor reference point to the material surface using a rope or tape measure.

Subtract 0.5 m (20″) from this distance, and use the resulting value.

Operating via FDT (Field Device Tool)

FDT is a standard used in several software packages designed to commission and maintain field devices such as SITRANS LR200. Two commercially available FDTs are PACTware and

Fieldcare.

Functionally FDT is very similar to PDM (see

detail).

Operating via SIMATIC PDM

on page 35 for more

• To configure a field device via FDT you need the DTM (Device Type Manager) for the device.

• To configure a field device via SIMATIC PDM, you need the EDD (Electronic Data

Description) for the device.

Device Type Manager (DTM)

A DTM is a type of software that ’plugs into’ FDT. It contains the same information as an EDD but an EDD is independent of the operating system.

SITRANS DTM

• SITRANS DTM is an EDDL interpreter developed by Siemens to interpret the EDD for that device.

• To use SITRANS DTM to connect to an instrument, you must first install

SITRANS DTM on your system and then install the instrument EDD written for

SITRANS DTM.

• You can download SITRANS DTM from the Siemens service and support website.

Go to http://support.automation.siemens.com, click on Product Support, and drill down to Product Information/Automation Technology/Sensor systems/Process

Instrumentation/Software & Communications.

The instrument EDD

The SITRANS LR200 HART EDD for SITRANS DTM can be downloaded from the product page of our website at www.siemens.com/LR200. Go to Support > Software Downloads.

Configuring a new device via FDT

The full process to configure a field device via FDT is outlined in an application guide which can be downloaded from the product page of our website. Go to: www.siemens.com/LR200 under Support.

Default: Low Calibration Point setting + 1 m (3.2 ft)

Use this feature if the measured surface can drop below the Low Cal. Point in normal operation.

2.8.3. Propagation Factor

Notes:

• When operating with a waveguide antenna or stillpipe, values for CLEF

Range (2.8.4.4.) on page 89, and for the propagation factor, should be set

according to the antenna frequency and the antenna/pipe size. See the tables below.

• For reliable results the horn size must be close to the pipe size.

Note: Default settings in the parameter tables are indicated with an asterisk

(*) unless explicitly stated.

Used together with Auto False Echo Suppression Range (2.8.7.2.) to screen

out false echoes in a vessel with known obstructions.

A ’learned TVT’ (time varying threshold) replaces the default TVT over a specified range. See

Auto False Echo Suppression (2.8.7.1.) on page 128 for a more detailed

explanation.

Notes:

• Make sure material level is below all known obstructions when Auto

False Echo Suppression is used to learn the echo profile. (An empty or almost empty vessel is recommended.)

• Note the distance to material level when Auto False Echo learns the environment. Set Auto False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter distance to avoid the material echo being screened out.

• Set Auto False Echo Suppression and Auto False Echo Suppression

Range during startup, if possible.

• If the vessel contains an agitator it should be running.

• Before adjusting these parameters, rotate the instrument for best signal (lower false-echo amplitude).

Reference on page 75 for a complete list of parameters.

Principles of Operation



SITRANS LR200 is a 2-wire 6 GHz pulse radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of liquids and slurries

1)

. Radar level measurement uses the time of flight principle to determine distance to a material surface. The device transmits a signal and waits for the return echo. The transit time is directly proportional to the distance from the material.

Pulse radar uses polarized electromagnetic waves. Microwave pulses are emitted from the antenna at a fixed repetition rate, and reflect off the interface between two materials with different dielectric constants (the atmosphere and the material being monitored).

Electromagnetic wave propagation is virtually unaffected by temperature or pressure changes, or by changes in the vapor levels inside a vessel. Electromagnetic waves are not attenuated by dust.

SITRANS LR200 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process connection. The electronic circuit generates a radar signal (6.3 GHz in North

America, 5.8 GHz elsewhere) that is directed to the antenna.

The signal is emitted from the antenna, and the reflected echoes are digitally converted to an echo profile. The profile is analyzed to determine the distance from the material surface to the sensor reference point

2)

. This distance is used as a basis for the display of material level and mA output.

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.

1)

2)

The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.

See Dimensions: Uni-Construction Polypropylene Rod Antenna on page 12 or Appendix G: Flange Adapter Versions on page 152.

Page 124 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A5E32337676

Process Intelligence is able to differentiate between the true microwave reflections from the surface of the material and unwanted reflections being returned from obstructions such as seam welds or supports within a vessel. The result is repeatable, fast and reliable measurement. This technology was developed as result of field data gained over some twenty years from more than 1,000,000 installations in many industries around the world.

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.

Echo Selection

Time Varying Threshold (TVT)

A Time Varying Threshold (TVT) hovers above the echo profile to screen out unwanted reflections (false echoes).

In most cases the material echo is the only one which rises above the default

TVT.

In a vessel with obstructions, a false

echo may occur. See Auto False Echo

Suppression (2.8.7.1.) on page 128 for

more details.

default TVT echo profile material level echo marker

The device characterizes all echoes that rise above the TVT as potential good echoes.

Each peak is assigned a rating based on its strength, area, height above the TVT, and reliability, amongst other characteristics.

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). There are three options:

• Center

• Hybrid

• CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit)

A5E32337676 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 125

Center

Uses center of the echo.

Hybrid

Uses the Center algorithm for the top part of the vessel, and the CLEF algorithm for the part nearest the vessel bottom, according to the setting for CLEF range.

CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit)

• Uses the leading edge of the echo.

• Is used mainly to process the echo from materials with a low dK value.

In an almost empty flat-bottomed vessel, a low dK material may reflect an echo weaker than the echo from the vessel bottom. The echo profile shows these echoes merging. The device may then report a material level equal to or lower than empty

The CLEF algorithm enables the device to report the level correctly.

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 material echo vessel bottom echo selected 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

Page 126 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A5E32337676

CLEF Range (2.8.4.4.)

CLEF Range 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.

Echo Threshold (2.8.4.3.)

Confidence (2.8.6.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher

quality. Echo Threshold defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated.

Echo Lock (2.8.5.1.)

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 LR200 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected.

Material Agitator

A new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria before the window will move to include it.

The other available options, Maximum Verification and Total Lock are not recommended for radar.

A5E32337676 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 127

Auto False Echo Suppression (2.8.7.1.)

Notes:

• For detailed instructions on using this feature via PDM see Auto False Echo

Suppression on page 48.

• For detailed instructions on using this feature via the handheld programmer see

Auto False Echo Suppression (2.8.7.1.) on page 92.

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.

The material level should be below all known obstructions at the moment when Auto

False Echo Suppression learns the echo profile. Ideally the vessel should be empty or almost empty, and if an agitator is present, it should be running.

The device learns the echo profile over the whole measurement range and the TVT is shaped around all echoes present at that moment.

Auto False Echo Suppression Range (2.8.7.2.)

Auto False Echo Suppression Range specifies the range within which the learned TVT is applied. Default TVT is applied over the remainder of the range.

The learned TVT screens out the false echoes caused by obstructions. The default TVT allows the material echo to rise above it.

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.

Measurement Range

Near Range (2.8.1.)

Near Range programs SITRANS LR200 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default setting is 0.3 m (1 ft), plus any shield length, from the sensor reference point

1)

.

Near Range allows you to increase the value from its factory default but Auto False Echo

Suppression (2.8.7.1.) is generally recommended in preference to this.

Far Range (2.8.2.)

Far Range can be used in applications where the base of the vessel is conical or parabolic. A reliable echo may be available below the vessel empty distance, due to an indirect reflection path.

Increasing Far Range to 30% or 40% can provide stable empty vessel readings.

Measurement Response

Note: Units are defined in Units (2.2.1.) 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. Response Rate automatically adjusts the filters that affect the output response rate.

Damping

Damping Filter (2.2.4.) smooths out the response to a sudden change in level. This is an

exponential filter and the engineering unit is always in seconds.

In 5 time constants the output rises exponentially: from 63.2% of the change in the first time constant, to almost 100% of the change by the end of the 5th time constant.

Damping example time constant = 2 seconds input (level) change = 2 m input (level)

Time (s) smoothed output

Analog Output

The mA Output (current output) is proportional to material level in the range 4 to 20 mA.

0% and 100% are percentages of the full-scale reading (m, cm, mm, ft, in). Typically mA output is set so that 4 mA equals 0% and 20 mA equals 100%.

When SITRANS LR200 is put into PROGRAM mode (for example, by navigating through the menu) it stops updating the output of the device (local user interface and mA Output).

It stores the most recent measurement, and holds the associated readings and mA signal output. The device reverts to the parameter last addressed during the previous program session.

When the device is returned to Measurement mode, the transceiver resumes operation.

The reading and mA output default to the last measurement taken. The reading and

associated outputs migrate to the current process level at a rate controlled by Response

Rate (2.4.1.).

If the device is left in PROGRAM mode for 10 minutes without input, it automatically reverts to Measurement mode.

Two parameters affect the mA output: Operating Mode and Current Output Function.

Page 130 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A5E32337676

Sensor Mode

This parameter controls the input. Depending on the reference point used, the mA output

reflects either Level, Space, or Distance. By default Sensor Mode is set to Level.

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 (2.8.6.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher

quality.

Echo Threshold (2.8.4.3.) 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.) the LCD displays the

Service Required icon, and the text region displays the fault code S: 0 and the text LOE.

If two faults are present at the same time, the fault code, error text, and error icon for each fault are displayed alternately. For example, Loss of Echo and Fail-safe.

S: 0 LOE S: 52 Fail-safe

Fail-safe Mode

The purpose of the Fail-safe setting is to put the process into a safe mode of operation in the event of a fault or failure. The value to be reported in the event of a fault is selected so that a loss of power or loss of signal triggers the same response as an unsafe level.

Timer (2.5.2.) determines the length of time a Loss of Echo (LOE) condition will persist

before a Fail-safe state is activated. The default setting is 10 seconds.

Material Level (2.5.1.) determines the material level to be reported when Timer (2.5.2.)

expires, depending on the device type (standard or NAMUR NE 43-compliant.)

Application with Stillpipe

A stillpipe is recommended for products with a dK of less than 3, or if extremely turbulent or vortex conditions exist. This mounting arrangement can also be used to provide optimum signal conditions on foaming materials.

Notes:

• Near Range (2.8.1.) (Blanking) will be set at the factory. Check the Process Device Tag for

specific values.

• Suitable pipe diameters are 40 mm (1.5”) to 100 mm (4”).

• The pipe diameter must be matched with the horn size. Use the largest horn size that will fit the stillpipe/bypass pipe (see

• See

Flanged Horn dimensions

Appendix F: HART Communications

Highway Addressable Remote Transducer, HART, is an industrial protocol that is superimposed on the 4-20 mA signal. It is an open standard, and full details about HART can be obtained from the HART Communication Foundation at www.hartcomm.org

SITRANS LR200 can be configured over the HART network using either the HART

Communicator 375 by Fisher-Rosemount, or a software package. The recommended software package is the SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens.

SIMATIC PDM

This software package is designed to permit easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of HART devices. The HART EDD for SITRANS LR200 was written with

SIMATIC PDM in mind and has been extensively tested with this software.

For more information, see

Operating via SIMATIC PDM

on page 35.

HART Electronic Device Description (EDD)

In order to configure a HART device, the configurator must have the HART Electronic

Device Description for the instrument in question. HART EDDs are controlled by the HART

Communication Foundation. Please check with the HART Communication Foundation for the availability of the HART EDD for SITRANS LR200. Older versions of the library will have to be updated in order to use all the features of SITRANS LR200.

Mounting Guidelines

Nozzle fabrication

Weld seams must be on the outside of the nozzle. Seams or lips on the inside of the nozzle may cause erratic readings.

Nozzle design

• The nozzle should be as short as possible.

• If your application requires a nozzle longer than our recommended maximum length consider using a shielded rod.

Max. nozzle height:

100 mm (4″)

Horn Antennas

The end of the horn should protrude a minimum of 10 mm (0.4”) to avoid interference from the nozzle.

10 mm (0.4″)

Threaded Rod Antenna

WARNING: For pressure applications, it is necessary to use PTFE tape or other appropriate thread sealing compound, and to tighten the process connection beyond hand-tight.

Waveguide Antenna

Notes:

• You can connect a maximum of two waveguides together.

• This option is recommended only for clean liquids, and only on vessels without an agitator, with no turbulence.

• Horizontal stress on this antenna must be avoided, otherwise mechanical support may be required.

• Process temperature and pressure capabilities are dependent upon information on the process device tag. The reference drawing listed on the tag can be downloaded from our website at: www.siemens.com/LR200.

80 mm (3″)

• Recommended for products with a dK lower than 3.

•

See Propagation Factor (2.8.3.) on page 87 for the

related propagation factor.

Horn with Waveguide Extensions

• Recommended for long nozzles with a small diameter.

For example, if the nozzle is 100 mm (4”) in diameter and 460 mm (18”) in length), the rod antenna is not suitable due to interference from the nozzle.

• Waveguide extensions are available in custom lengths.

• The horn must be connected to the

SITRANS LR200 process flange.

If horn diameter is too large for the nozzle opening, insert it from inside the vessel.

Glossary

accuracy: degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or a true value.

agitator: mechanical apparatus for mixing or aerating. A device for creating turbulence.

algorithm: a prescribed set of well-defined rules or processes for the solution of a problem in a finite number of steps.

ambient temperature: the temperature of the surrounding air that comes in contact with the enclosure of the device.

antenna: an aerial which sends out and receives a signal in a specific direction. There are four basic types of antenna in radar level measurement, horn, parabolic, rod, and waveguide.

attenuation: a term used to denote a decrease in signal magnitude in transmission from one point to another. Attenuation may be expressed as a scalar ratio of the input magnitude to the output magnitude or in decibels.

Auto False-Echo Suppression: a technique used to adjust the level of a TVT to avoid the reading of false echoes. (See TVT.)

Auto False-Echo Suppression Distance: defines the endpoint of the TVT distance. (See TVT.)

This is used in conjunction with auto false echo suppression.

beam width: the angle diametrically subtended by the one-half power limits (-3 dB) of the microwave beam.

beam spreading: the divergence of a beam as it travels through a medium. blanking: a blind zone extending away from the reference point plus any additional shield length.The instrument 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. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference, and the unit is a

Farad. confidence: see Echo Confidence damping: term applied to the performance of an instrument to denote the manner in which the measurement settles to its steady indication after a change in the value of the level.

dB (decibel): a unit used to measure the amplitude of signals.

A5E32337676 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 171

derating: to decrease a rating suitable for normal conditions according to guidelines specified for different conditions. dielectric: a nonconductor of direct electric current.

1) dielectric constant (dK): the ability of a dielectric to store electrical potential energy under the influence of an electric field. Also known as Relative Permittivity. An increase in the 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

1

.

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. Higher values represent higher quality.

Echo Threshold defines the minimum value required for an echo to be accepted as valid and evaluated.

Echo Lock Window: a window centered on an echo in order to locate and display the echo’s position and true reading. Echoes outside the window are not immediately processed.

Echo Marker: a marker that points to the processed echo.

Echo Processing: the process by which the radar unit determines echoes.

Echo Strength: describes the strength of the selected echo in dB referred to 1 V rms.

Echo Profile: a graphical display of a processed echo.

false echo: any echo which is not the echo from the desired target. Generally, false echoes are created by vessel obstructions.

frequency: the number of periods occurring per unit time. Frequency may be stated in cycles per second.

Hertz (Hz): unit of frequency, one cycle per second. 1 Gigahertz (GHz) is equal to 10

9

Hz.

HART: Highway Addressable Remote Transducer. An open communication protocol used to address field instruments. 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. The unit is a Henry.

microwaves: the term for the electromagnetic frequencies occupying the portion of the radio frequency spectrum from 1 GHz to 300 GHz.

1)

Many conductive liquids/electrolytes exhibit dielectric properties; the relative dielectric constant of water is 80.

Page 172 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A5E32337676

multiple echoes: secondary echoes that appear as double, triple, or quadruple echoes in the distance from the target echo.

Near Blanking: see Blanking nozzle: a length of pipe mounted onto a vessel that supports the flange. parameters: in programming, variables that are given constant values for specific purposes or processes.

polarization: the property of a radiated electromagnetic wave describing the time-varying direction and amplitude of the electric field vector.

polarization error: the error arising from the transmission or reception of an electromagnetic wave having a polarization other than that intended for the system.

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.

radar: radar is an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging. A device that radiates electromagnetic waves and utilizes the reflection of such waves from distant objects to determine their existence or position.

range: distance between a transmitter and a target.

range extension: the distance below the zero percent or empty point in a vessel. relative humidity: the ratio of the actual amount of moisture in the atmosphere to the maximum amount of moisture the atmosphere could hold (which varies depending on the air temperature).

relative permittivity: see dielectric constant.

repeatability: the closeness of agreement among repeated measurements of the same variable under the same conditions.

sensor value: the value produced by the echo processing which represents the distance from

sensor reference point to the target. (see Sensor Mode (2.2.2.) on page 76 for an

illustration).

shot: one transmit pulse or measurement.

speed of light: the speed of electromagnetic waves (including microwave and light) in free space. Light speed is a constant 299, 792, 458 meters per second.

stillpipe: a pipe that is mounted inside a vessel parallel to the vessel wall, and is open to the vessel at the bottom.

A5E32337676 SITRANS LR200 (HART) – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 173

stilling-well: see stillpipe.

two wire radar: a low-energy radar. Can be loop powered, analog, intrinsically safe 4 to 20 mA, or a digital (BUS) transmitter.
