SITRANS LC500 is an inverse frequency shift capacitance level
or interface transmitter for extreme and critical process conditions, such as oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) as well as toxic
and aggressive chemicals and vapors.
■ Configuration
Installation
■ Benefits
• Active-Shield technology so measurement is unaffected by
material buildup in active shield section
• Simple push-button calibration and integrated local display
• Inverse frequency approach provides high resolution
• 2-wire loop powered 4 to 20/20 to 4 mA measurement signal
• Pre-detection alarm and full function diagnostics
• High temperature and pressure resistant (optional)
• Full-function diagnostics comply with NAMUR NE 43
• Easy calibration locally or via HART (using SIMATIC PDM
software)
Build up of material or condensation in active shield area
does not affect switch operation.
■ Application
SITRANS LC500’s advanced electronics provide one-step,
push-button calibration and local display for easy on-site installation and setup.
The unique mechanical probe design coupled with a high performance transmitter gives superior performance in toxic and
aggressive chemicals, acids, caustics, adhesives, and in viscous conductive and non-conductive materials.
The SMART 2-wire transmitter has HART communications for
remote commissioning and inspection.
• Key Applications: oil/water or foam/liquid interface
measurement in separators or coalescers, cryogenic applications including C02 and liquefied natural gas (LNG), distillation/regeneration tanks with high temperatures
