Siemens Sitrans LR560 Radar Level Transmitter 1P 7ML54400GA000AA1

Siemens SITRANS LR560 Radar Level Transmitter

The Siemens SITRANS LR560 is a high-frequency, non-contact radar level transmitter designed for continuous monitoring of solids in challenging industrial environments. Utilizing 78 GHz FMCW radar technology, it offers precise and reliable measurements up to 100 meters (328 feet), making it ideal for applications involving extreme dust and high temperatures up to 200°C (392°F).

Key Features

• High-Frequency Operation: The 78 GHz frequency ensures a narrow beam angle, minimizing interference from mounting structures and providing optimal reflection from sloped solid surfaces.
• Robust Design: Constructed with a rugged stainless steel enclosure, the SITRANS LR560 is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions.
• Flush Lens Antenna: The lens antenna design resists product buildup, ensuring consistent performance even in dusty environments.
• Air Purge Connection: An integrated air purge connection facilitates self-cleaning, particularly beneficial for applications involving sticky solids.
• Local Display Interface (LDI): The optional graphical LDI allows for intuitive setup and diagnostics, featuring a Quick Start Wizard and echo profile display for enhanced operational support.
