Easy Operation and Flexible Configuration

The SITRANS LG260 is designed for continuous level measurement in bulk solids using a cable or rod probe. It operates by emitting high-frequency microwave pulses along a guided steel cable or rod. When these pulses reach the surface of the product, they are reflected back, and the time it takes for the reflection to return is processed by the instrument to calculate the level of the material. This principle ensures reliable measurement even in challenging conditions like dust or buildup on the sensor.

In terms of configuration, the SITRANS LG260 comes with a range of documentation and optional accessories to support various application needs. The delivery includes the sensor, operating instructions, and any necessary safety or certification documents for Ex versions. The manual covers hardware versions from 1.0.0 and software versions from 1.3.0. Additionally, the type label on the instrument provides critical data for identification and use, ensuring easy configuration for specific operational requirements.

Simple and Versatile Installation for Reliable Measurement

For optimal performance, the SITRANS LG260 should be mounted with a minimum distance of 300 mm (12 in) from vessel walls or installations, ensuring the probe does not touch the vessel sides. In non-metallic vessels, the distance should be at least 500 mm (19.7 in) to maintain measurement accuracy. For vessels with conical bottoms, centering the sensor can allow for level measurement down to the lowest point. Special considerations, such as using a metallic surface for plastic vessels and ensuring the probe is fastened when necessary, help achieve reliable results across a wide range of installation environments.
