7ML19985JE01 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  Page 11mmmmmInstallationInstallation1WARNINGS: • Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with local governing regulations.• SITRANS LR250 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.• This product is designated as a Pressure Accessory per Directive 97/23/EC and is not intended for use as a safety device.• 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.Notes:• For European Union and member countries, installation must be according to ETSI EN 302372.• Refer to the device nameplate for approval information.• The Process Device Tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly1. In the event the instrument package is replaced, the Process Device 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.• 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 12 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  7ML19985JE01mmmmmInstallationMounting locationRecommendations:• Maintain ambient temperature within –40 to +80 °C (–40 to +176 °F).• Provide easy access for viewing the display and programming via the hand programmer.• Provide an environment suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction.• Use a sunshield if the instrument will be exposed to direct sunlight (even though the LCD has UV protection).Precautions:• Avoid interference to the emission cone from obstructions or from the fill path.• Avoid central locations on vessels.WARNING: For vessels with conical or parabolic tops, avoid mounting the instrument at the centre. (The concavity of the top can focus echoes into the centre, giving false readings.)Note: Under certain circumstances, it may be acceptable to mount SITRANS LR250 at the centre of a flat-topped tank: please discuss this with your Siemens Milltronics representative.process temperature –40 to +150 °C (–40 to +302 °F)ambient temperature (surrounding enclosure volume)–40 °C to 80 °C (–40 °F to 176 °F)hand programmernameplateprocess device tagcustomer-supplied flangeConiFl at Flat  Parabolic Conicalpreferred undesirableGRAPHIC TO BE UPDATED
7ML19985JE01 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  Page 13mmmmmInstallationKeep the emission cone free of interference:• Make allowance for the emission cone spreading (see table showing beam width on page 21).• Locate the antenna away from the side wall, to avoid interference from indirect echoes.• Avoid interference from objects such as ladders or pipes, which can cause false echoes.• Make sure the emission cone does not intersect the fill path: allowance for beam widthbeam widthNotes: • beam width (defined at –3dB boundary) depends on horn size: see table showing beam width on page 21 • For more detail on false echoes, see Appendix F: Technical Reference on page 102.GRAPHIC TO BE UPDATED
Page 14 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  7ML19985JE01mmmmmInstallationLocation on a nozzleOn a nozzle, the horn should protrude a minimum or 100 mm (4") to avoid interference.A manhole cover is typically a covered nozzle with a diameter 610 mm (24”) or greater. To provide optimum signal conditions on a manhole cover, locate the horn off-center, typically 100 mm (4") from the side.Polarization reference pointFor best results on a tank with obstructions, or a stillpipe with openings, orient the front or back of the device toward the obstructions (see Mounting: Stillpipe or Bypass (Sidepipe) on page 117 for an illustration.)

7ML19985JE01 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  Page 15mmmmmInstallationMounting InstructionsMounting: Threaded Version1. Before inserting SITRANS LR250 into its mounting connection, check to ensure the threads are matching, to avoid damaging them. 2. Simply screw SITRANS LR250 into the process connection, and hand tighten, or use a wrench. For pressure applications, it will be necessary to use PTFE tape (or other appropriate thread sealing compound) and tighten the process connection beyond hand tight. You can use 1.5” or 2” threaded process connections. There are three thread types: NPT, BSP, and G.A torque of 40 N-m (30 ft.lbs) is recommended3. If you want to rotate the enclosure, use a 2 mm Allen key to loosen the set-screws that secure the locking ring. 4. Once the enclosure is in a suitable position, tighten the set-screws. .Notes: • The device can be rotated past 360° without damage. When mounting, rotate the head so the polarization dot faces the closest wall. In stilling well applications, line up the polarization dot with the vent hole.• 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: For pressure applications, it will be necessary to use PTFE tape or other appropriate thread sealing compound, and to tighten the process connection beyond hand-tight.min.

TVT (Auto False Echo Suppression) setupFirst SITRANS LR250 learns the echo profile. Then the learned profile, or part of the learned profile, is used to screen out false echoes. See Display before Auto False Echo Suppression  on page 75 for examples.2.2.5.1. TVT Hover Level Defines in percent how high the TVT (Time Varying Threshold) curve is placed above the echo profile, with respect to largest echo. When SITRANS LR250 is located in the center of the vessel, lower this parameter to prevent multiple echo detections. (For an illustration, see Display before Auto False Echo Suppression and Example after Auto False Echo Suppression, page 75)2.2.5.6. Auto False Echo Suppression Enables a ’learned’ TVT curve to be used in place of the default TVT curve. Use this feature to ignore false echoes before the material echo. Set Auto Suppression Range first. (See below for an illlustration.)a. Rotate the instrument for best signal (lower false-echo amplitude).b. Go to Range, and set the value (see 2.2.5.7.

Check the following:• There is power at the instrument• The LCD shows the relevant data• The device can be programmed using the hand programmer2. Verify that the wiring connections are correct.3. If you continue to experience problems, go to our website at: . www.siemens.com/processautomation, and check the FAQs for SITRANS LR250, or contact your local Siemens Milltronics representative.Specifically:1. If you try to set a SITRANS LR250 parameter via remote communications, but the parameter remains unchanged:• Some parameters can only be changed when the device is not scanning. Try putting the device in PROGRAM mode using the operating mode function.• Try setting the parameter from the keypad. (First make sure that the lock parameter [6.1] is set to the unlock value.)• The communications control parameter 5.2 must be set to 1 to allow you to write parameters to SITRANS LR250.2. If you see unanticipated displays, for example:• PROGRAM mode displayed instead of Measurement mode• the wrong parameter displayed in response to a command• a parameter displayed in response to no commandmake sure no infrared-capable device is close to SITRANS LR250. Any device with infrared capabilities (laptops, cell phones, PDAs) can cause interference which simulates a command to the SITRANS LR250, potentially causing it to switch modes or to change a parameter.3. If the operation is erratic, make sure the Hand Programmer is not being used at the same time as SIMATIC PDM.

7ML19985JE01 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  Page 105mmmmmE: Technical ReferenceAppendix E: Technical ReferencePrinciples of Operation SITRANS LR250 is a sophisticated radar instrument that uses advanced microwave pulse technology1 to provide non-contacting continuous level measurement in liquids or slurries. 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). The echo is detected by a receiver, and the transit time is used to calculate level. 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 LR250 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process connection. The electronic component generates a radar signal (26 GHz) that is directed to the horn.The signal is emitted from the horn, 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 reference point on the instrument. This distance is used as a basis for the display of material level and mA output.Echo ProcessingThe three echo processing parameters, Response Rate, Near Range, and Position, are set to default values shown in the table below. Further information can be found in Parameter Reference on the pages shown.The device characterizes all echoes that rise above the TVT (Time Varying Threshold) as potential good echoes. Each peak is assigned a rating based on its strength, area, height above the TVT, amongst other characteristics. The true echo is selected based on the algorithm selected in 2.2.4.1. Echo select. Options are Largest Echo, best of Largest and First, or First. 1. The microwave output level is significantly less than that emitted from cellular phones.Echo Processing Parameters Default values Description page 2.2.1.3.

Page 106 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  7ML19985JE01mmmmmE: Technical ReferenceThe echo location algorithm calculates the precise time of flight of that echo, and calculates the range using the calibrated propagation velocity (adjusted using a propagation factor, if necessary).Measurement ResponseThe measurement response (response rate) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to changes in the measurement. Once the real process fill/empty rate (m/s) is established, a response rate can be selected that is slightly higher than the application rate. The response rate automatically adjusts the filters that affect the output response rate. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast.The measurement response limits the maximum rate at which the display and analog output respond to changes in measurement. Response Rate 2.2.7.1 should be set to a measurement response just faster than the maximum filling or emptying rate (whichever is greater).When the echoes are received, the relevant echo algorithm (2.2.4.1.1) is applied to determine the true material echo.Typical Receiver Signal2.2.7.1.

7ML19985JE01 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  Page 107mmmmmE: Technical ReferenceEcho LockWhen the echoes are received, the relevant echo algorithm is applied to determine the true material echo. If the selected echo is within the window, the window is then centered about the echo. Otherwise the window widens with each successive shot until the selected echo is within the window, which then returns to its normal width.Echo Lock selects the measurement verification process:• When Echo Lock is Off, SITRANS LR 250 responds immediately to a new measurement (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate). However, measurement reliability is affected. • When Maximum Verification or Material Agitator is selected, a new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria. • When Total Lock is selected, Echo Lock Window is pre-set to 0, and the window is automatically calculated after each measurement. 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. If the LOE condition persists beyond the time limit set in 2.4.1. Failsafe Timers the LCD displays the Service Required icon, a wrench accompanied by three dots   and the text region displays the fault code S: 0 and the text LOE.Fail-safe ModeFail-safe Timers2.4.1. Failsafe Timers determines the time to elapse after the last valid reading before a Fail-safe state is activated. 2.4.2. Failsafe Material Level determines the level to be reported when the Fail-safe timer expires. Upon receiving a reliable echo, the loss of echo condition is aborted, the Service Required icon and error message are cleared, and the reading and mA output return to the current level.Fail-safe valueWhen the 2.4.1.

Page 108 SITRANS LR250 (HART) – INSTRUCTION MANUAL  7ML19985JE01mmmmmE: Technical ReferenceFar Range (Range Extension)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 the range extension to 30% or 40% can provide stable empty vessel readings. False-Echo SuppressionFalse echoes can appear during the receive cycle. They are often created by internal impediments like a ladder rung, and are usually indicated by an incorrect high level reading. Near Range (Blanking)2.2.1.12. Near Range programs SITRANS LR250 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default blanking distance is 0.50 mm from end of horn antenna.. Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory setting. But 2.2.5.6. Auto False Echo Suppression is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking distance from factory values.Auto False-Echo SuppressionThe TVT adjustment parameters allow you to set a TVT (Time Varying Threshold) curve, so that SITRANS LR250 will ignore false echoes.The default TVT curve hovers above the echo profile, and effectively screens out small false echoes. But if an obstruction is causing a large echo before the material level echo, that echo will rise above the default TVT curve. You can use Auto False-Echo Suppression to filter it out. If possible, rotate the instrument before using Auto False-Echo Suppression, to lower the amplitude of false echoes. When you set 2.2.5.6 to Learn, the instrument learns the echo profile at that moment1. Then it uses the learned profile instead of the default TVT curve, for the distance set in 2.2.5.7. The learned profile (Learned TVT curve) follows the echo profile, so that no large false echoes rise above the learned TVT curve. From the end of the Auto False-Echo Suppression Distance, the default TVT curve is used. The material level echo rises above this, and is selected as the true echo.For examples, see Display before Auto False Echo Suppression  on page 109 andExample after Auto False Echo Suppression  on page 109.1. Set 2.2.5.6 to ’Learn’ when the material level is substantially lower than process full level (ideally when the tank is empty or almost empty).

Generally, the output is set so that the output for 0% is 4 mA, and the output for 100% is 20 mA. 0 and 100% are percentages of the full-scale reading (m, cm, mm, ft, in). When SITRANS LR250 is put into PROGRAM mode it stops responding to the process. It stores the most recent measurement, and holds the associated readings and mA signal output. The instrument reverts to the parameter last addressed during the previous program session.When the instrument 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 the response rate (2.2.7.1).If SITRANS LR250 is left in PROGRAM mode for 10 minutes without input, it automatically reverts to Measurement mode.Level Space DistanceDistanceSpaceLevel20 mA100%0%4 mAHigh CalibrationPoint4 mA0%100% 20 mA4 mA0%100% 20 mASensorreferencepointLow CalibrationPoint

Parameter 3.14.1 is required to monitor the Internal Temperature. It gives you an excellent indication of how reliably the product will perform thermally when installed on your process vessel.3.14.1 also allows you to decide whether or not attention should be focussed on redesigning the installation. For example, if the internal temperature exceeds the maximum allowable limit, a sun shield or a longer nozzle may be required. Engineering will use this temperature reading (3.14.1) to gauge the extent of change required to the installation in order to provide a reliable thermal-operating zone for the SITRANS LR250.Note: The chart below is for guidance only: WARNING: Internal temperature must not exceed 80 °C (176 °F).
