SITRANS LU150
■ Overview
■ Configuration
4
SITRANS LU150 is a short-range integrated ultrasonic level
transmitter. This general purpose, 2-wire, 4 to 20 mA loop powered transmitter is ideal for liquids, slurries, and bulk materials in
open or closed vessels to 5 m (16.4 ft).
■ Benefits

SITRANS LU150 is easy to install and maintain, and can be
quickly removed for cleaning as required by the food, beverage
and pharmaceutical industries.
The reliability of the level data is based on the Sonic Intelligence
echo processing algorithms. A filter discriminates between the
true echo and false echoes from acoustic or electrical noises
and agitator blades in motion. The ultrasonic pulse propagation
time to the material and back is temperature-compensated and
converted into distance for display, analog output.
• Key Applications: chemical storage vessels, filter beds, mud
pits, liquid storage vessels, food applications
