Safety Guidelines

Warning notices must be observed to ensure personal safety as well as that of others, and to

protect the product and the connected equipment. These warning notices are accompanied by

a clarification of the level of caution to be observed.1)

FCC Conformity

US Installations only: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules

SITRANS LR250

SITRANS LR250 is a 2-wire 25 GHz pulse radar level transmitter for continuous monitoring of

liquids and slurries in storage vessels including high pressure and high temperature, to a range

of 20 m (66 ft). It is ideal for small vessels and low dielectric media.

The instrument consists of an electronic component coupled to a horn antenna and either a

threaded or flange type process connection. A threaded PVDF antenna is also available.

SITRANS LR250 supports Foundation Fieldbus (FF) communication protocol. Signals are

processed using Process Intelligence which has been field-proven in over 1,000,000

applications worldwide (ultrasonic and radar). This instrument can be configured as an FF (H1)

Link Master.

WARNING: relates to a caution symbol on the product, and means that failure to

observe the necessary precautions can result in death, serious injury, and/or

considerable material damage.

WARNING1: means that failure to observe the necessary precautions can result

in death, serious injury, and/or considerable material damage.

Note: means important information about the product or that part of the operating manual.

1) This symbol is used when there is no corresponding caution symbol on the product.

WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens

Milltronics could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Notes:

• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment.

• This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference to radio communications, in which case the user will

be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNING: SITRANS LR250 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this manual,

otherwise protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Note: This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications.

WARNINGS:

• Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection or

instrument housing while vessel contents are under pressure.

• 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.

Notes:

• The process connection tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly1).

In the event the instrument package is replaced, the process connection tag shall be

transferred to the replacement unit.

•SITRANS LR250 units are hydrostatically tested, meeting or exceeding the requirements

of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European Pressure Equipment

Directive.

4) 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.

English

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 Guideline 1/8 and

1/20).

Installation

Nozzle design

• The end of the antenna must protrude a minimum of 10 mm (0.4”) to avoid false echoes

being reflected from the nozzle.

• Minimum recommended nozzle diameter for the threaded PVDF antenna is 51 mm (2").

• An antenna extension (100 mm/ 3.93") is available for any version except the threaded

PVDF antenna.

WARNINGS:

• Installation shall be performed only by qualified personnel and in

accordance with local governing regulations.

• Handle the device using the enclosure, not the antenna or the process

connection tag, to avoid damage.

• Take special care when handling the threaded PVDF antenna. Any damage

to the antenna surface, particularly to the tip, could affect performance.

• 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.

Notes:

• For European Union and member countries, installation must be according to ETSI EN

302372.

• Refer to the device nameplate for approval information.

• 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.

Nozzle location

Avoid central locations on tall, narrow vessels.

Environment

• Provide an environment suitable to the housing

rating and materials of construction.

• Provide a sunshield if the device will be mounted

in direct sunlight.

Beam angle

• Beam angle is the width of the cone

where the energy density is half of the

peak energy density.

• Peak energy density is directly in front

of and in line with the antenna.

• Signal is transmitted outside the beam

angle; therefore false targets may be

detected.

Emission Cone

• Keep emission cone free of interference

from ladders, pipes, I-beams or filling

streams.

Access for programming

• Provide easy access for viewing the display and programming via the handheld

programmer

Mounting instructions

Threaded Versions

1) Before inserting the instrument into its mounting connection, check to ensure the threads

are matching to avoid damaging them.

2) Simply screw the instrument into the process connection, and hand tighten, or use a

wrench. For pressure applications see Warning note above.

Flanged Versions

WARNING: For pressure applications use PTFE tape or other appropriate thread

sealing compound and tighten the process connection beyond hand-tight. The

maximum recommended torque is 40 N-m (30 ft.lbs.)

Note:

• There is no limit to the number of times an instrument can be rotated without damage.

• When mounting, orient the front or back of the instrument towards the closest wall.

• Do not rotate the enclosure after programming and vessel calibration, otherwise an error

may occur, caused by a polarity shift of the transmit pulse.

WARNING: 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.

Wiring

Power

Connecting SITRANS LR2501) 2)

1) Strip the cable jacket for approximately 70 mm (2.75") from the end of the Foundation

Fieldbus cable, and thread the wires through the gland3).

2) Connect the wires to the terminal as shown (SITRANS LR250 FF is not polarity sensitive).

3) Ground the instrument according to local regulations.4)

4) Tighten the gland to form a good seal.

5) Close the lid and secure the locking ring before programming and instrument

configuration.

(continued on next page)

WARNINGS:

The DC input terminals shall be supplied from a source providing electrical

isolation between the input and output, in order to meet the applicable safety

requirements of IEC 61010-1.

All field wiring must have insulation suitable for rated voltages.

WARNINGS:

• Check the device nameplate to verify the approval rating.

• Use appropriate conduit seals to maintain IP or NEMA rating.

• See

Wiring Setups for hazardous area installations

on page 9.

Note: For detailed wiring instructions refer to the full LR250 FF Operating Instructions.

1) The device shield connection is internally connected to the external ground lug.

2) May be shipped with the instrument.

3) If cable is routed through conduit, use only approved suitable-size hubs for waterproof applications.

4) For optimum EMC protection, it is recommended that the FF H1 cable shield be connected to ground at

every node.
