New 80 GHz compact radar transmitters for hassle-free level measurement
Compact radar extends transmitters
into applications with vapor and dusty requirements
Bluetooth wireless technology delivers fast and effortless commissioning
Wide range of liquids and solids applications
in practically all market segments including energy, mining, aggregates and
water
Siemens
presents Sitrans LR100 series 80 GHz radar transmitters, compact instruments
with a narrow beam for flexible installations in existing vessel openings—or
even non-intrusively through plastic vessels. The transmitters’ 80GHz high
frequency delivers robust, reliable measurements even in challenging
environments such as those with vapors, condensation, turbulence, or solids. The
custom microchip technology delivers fast response and extremely high
sensitivity to detect even the weakest of signals.

Siemens
presents Sitrans LR100 series 80 GHz radar transmitters, compact instruments
with a narrow beam for flexible installations in existing vessel openings—or

frequency delivers robust, reliable measurements even in challenging
environments such as those with vapors, condensation, turbulence, or solids. The
custom microchip technology delivers fast response and extremely high
sensitivity to detect even the weakest of signals.
The series
consists of three products: Sitrans LR100 for basic measurement to 8 meter, Sitrans
LR110 with communication and hazardous approvals options and range to 15 meter,
Sitrans LR120 with communication, longest range to 30 meter and optional
submergence shield for flooding protection. 2-wire loop powered with HART or
optional Modbus RTU connectivity consumes very low energy and the fast start up
is ideal for CSO (combined sewer overflow) applications.
The
transmitters’ dependable readings reduce workers' exposure to hazardous situations:
no need to climb tanks, lean out over sumps, or crawl into confined spaces to
maintain instruments. As well, zero-meter blanking distance allows measurement
right up to the sensor, thereby avoiding costly overfilling. And two-millimeter
accuracy enhances operational safety through precise measurement through the
full range of the application.
All this
robust performance is wrapped in an IP68 submersible housing constructed of corrosion
resistant PVDF. Simple commissioning is achieved with the Bluetooth interface
and the Sitrans mobile IQ App or the Sitrans RD150 remote display. In remote
areas connected to the Sitrans RTU3030C remote terminal unit, critical data can
be transmitted as well as remote servicing can be performed.
Integrating
critical level readings or process control data into operations can unlock new
opportunities to react to safety concerns, analyze processes and identify areas
for improvement. Users can monitor level measurements or diagnostic and
maintenance information from the comfort of the control room or connect to Siemens
MindSphere, the cloud-based,
open IoT operating system.
