Description

3.1

Application range

The LH300 pressure transmitter is a submersible sensor for hydrostatic level measurement. The pressure transmitter

measures the liquid levels in tanks, containers, channels and dams.

The pressure transmitter is available for various measuring ranges and optionally with explosion protection. A cable box and

an anchor clamp are available as accessories to make installation easier.

The pressure transmitter is used, for example, in the following industrial areas:

●Water supply

●For use in pressureless/open tanks and wells

3.2

Structure

The pressure transmitter has a built-in ceramic sensor which is equipped with a Wheatstone resistance bridge.

The pressure transmitter is equipped with electronics that is installed, together with the sensor, in a stainless steel

enclosure. There is also a vent pipe in the connecting cable.

The measuring diaphragm is effectively protected against external influences by a protective cover.

The sensor, the electronics and the connecting cable are housed in an enclosure with small dimensions.

The pressure transmitter is suitable for a wide temperature range.

Figure 3-2 Pressure transmitter, mode of operation and wiring diagram

On one side of the sensor ①the diaphragm is exposed to the hydrostatic pressure ⑤, which is proportional to the

immersion depth. This pressure is compared with the atmospheric pressure. Pressure compensation is carried out using the

vent pipe ③in the connecting cable.

The hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column acts on the diaphragm of the sensor and transmits the pressure to the

Wheatstone resistance bridge in the sensor.

The output voltage signal of the sensor is fed to the electronics, where it is converted into an output current signal of 4 mA to

20 mA.

The protective conductor connection/equipotential bonding ④is connected to the enclosure.

Wetted parts unsuitable for the process media

Risk of injury or damage to device.

Hot, toxic and corrosive media could be released if the process medium is unsuitable for the wetted parts.

•Ensure that the material of the device parts wetted by the process medium is suitable for the medium. Refer to the

information in Technical specifications (Page 15).

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.

4.1.1

Exceeded maximum permissible operating pressure

WARNING

Exceeded maximum permissible operating pressure

Risk of injury or poisoning.

The maximum permissible operating pressure depends on the device version, pressure limit and temperature rating. The

device can be damaged if the operating pressure is exceeded. Hot, toxic and corrosive process media could be released.

Ensure that maximum permissible operating pressure of the device is not exceeded. Refer to the information on the

nameplate and/or in Technical specifications (Page 15).

NOTICE

Using a device with frozen process medium

Damage to the device through ice formation.

•

Prevent ice formation on the pressure transmitter. The process medium must not freeze.

4.1.2

Proper 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.

•Mount the device using suitable tools. Refer to the information in Technical specifications (Page 15) for installation

torque requirements.

CAUTION

Loss of type of protection

Damage to device if the enclosure is open or not properly closed. The type of protection specified on the nameplate or in

Technical specifications (Page 15) is no longer guaranteed.

•Make sure that the device is securely closed.

WARNING

Improper power supply

Danger of explosion in hazardous areas and loss of device safety as a result of incorrect power supply, e.g. using direct

current instead of alternating current.

•Connect the device in accordance with the specified power supply and signal circuits. The relevant specifications can

be found in the certificates, in Chapter "Technical specifications (Page 15)" or on the nameplate.

•Always power the device with limited energy. Observe the following standards on limited energy: UL61010-1 3rd

Edition, Section 9.3 or LPS (Low Power Supply) in accordance with UL60950-1 or Class 2 in accordance with UL1310

or UL1585.

WARNING

Unsafe extra-low voltage

Risk of explosion in hazardous areas due to voltage flashover.

•

Connect the device to an extra-low voltage with safe isolation (SELV).

WARNING

Lack of equipotential bonding

Risk of explosion through compensating currents or ignition currents through lack of equipotential bonding.

•Ensure that the device is potentially equalized.

Exception

: It may be permissible to omit connection of the equipotential bonding for devices with type of protection

WARNING

Improper laying of shielded cables

Risk of explosion through compensating currents between hazardous area and the non-hazardous area.

•Shielded cables that cross into hazardous areas should be grounded only at one end.

•

If grounding is required at both ends, use an equipotential bonding conductor.

WARNING

Connecting device in energized state

Risk of explosion in hazardous areas.

•Connect devices in hazardous areas only in a de-energized state.

Exceptions

•Devices having the type of protection "Intrinsic safety Ex i" may also be connected in energized state in hazardous

areas.

•

Exceptions for type of protection "Non-sparking nA" (Zone 2) are regulated in the relevant certificate.

Note

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

You can use this device in industrial environments, households and small businesses.

For metal housings there is an increased electromagnetic compatibility compared to high

-frequency radiation. This

protection can be increased by grounding the housing, see

Connecting (Page 11).

Note

Improvement of interference immunity

•

Lay signal cables separately to cables with voltages > 60 V.

•

Use cable with twisted wires.

•Keep the device and the cables at a distance from strong electromagnetic fields.

5.2

Connecting the device

Procedure

Connect the pressure transmitter to the cable box as follows:

1. Connect the cable of the pressure transmitter to the terminals 1 (-), 2 (+) and the grounding.

2. Insert the vent pipe into the cable box.
