SITRANS LR460
■ Overview
■ Application
SITRANS LR460 provides excellent results even during conditions of extreme dust. The integral Easy Aimer included on the
SITRANS LR460 allows for easy positioning for optimum measurement on solids.
Process Intelligence onboard SITRANS LR460 means advanced
signal processing is harnessed for reliable operation on both
simple and difficult solids application.
SITRANS LR460 features a robust enclosure, flange and horn
components. It is virtually unaffected by atmospheric or temperature conditions within the vessel.
An optional dust cap is available for sticky solids. Optional air
purging is also available for extremely sticky applications.
Safe on-site local programming is simple using the Intrinsically
Safe handheld programmer. SIMATIC PDM can be used for easy
remote programming using HART or PROFIBUS PA.

The SITRANS LR460 is a 4-wire, 24 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter with extremely high signal-to-noise ratio and advanced
signal processing for continuous monitoring of solids up to
100 m (328 ft). It is ideal for measurement in extreme dust and
high temperature.
The characteristics of 24 GHz and high signal-to-noise ratio contribute to exceptional signal reflection, regardless of the dielectric value of the medium.
• Key Applications: long-range dusty applications, cement
powder, fly-ash, coal, flour, grain, plastics
■ Benefits
• Process Intelligence for advanced signal processing and
quick and easy adjustment
• Self-guided quick start wizard for plug and play start-up
• 24 GHz provides superior reflective properties on solids
surfaces
• 100 m (328 ft) range for long-range and difficult applications
• Easy Aimer optimizes signal quality on sloped surfaces
• Programming using infrared Intrinsically Safe handheld
programmer or with SIMATIC PDM or HART handheld device
