Siemens FI 01 · 2010
■
Overview
The SITRANS LU01 is an ultrasonic long-range level controller
for liquids and solids in a single vessel up to 60 m (200 ft).
Handheld programmer shown is an accessory and must be
ordered separately.
■
Benefits
• Single point, long-range level monitoring
• Easy to install; easy to program using removable infrared
keypad (optional)
• Compatible with all Echomax
®
transducers
• Backlit LCD display with reading in standard engineering units
• Automatic level-to-volume conversion for standard or custom
tank shapes
• Dolphin Plus and SmartLinx compatible
• High/low alarms
■
Application
The system consists of a SITRANS LU01 monitor linked to a non-
contacting ultrasonic transducer that can be mounted up to
365 m (1200 ft) away. The SITRANS LU01 will measure distance,
level or volume, and it features patented Sonic Intelligence
®
echo processing software for superior reliability.
Readings are displayed in user-selectable linear engineering
units on the backlit LCD.
An on-board communications port automatically configures for
RS-232, RS-485 or bi-polar current loop. The SITRANS LU01 will
connect to a DCS or PLC using Siemens SmartLinx
®
interface
modules, giving you remote 2-way communication and full pa-
rameter access. Modules for popular industrial buses can be
factory installed or added later to meet changing needs. No ex-
ternal gateway is required, reducing hardware and cabling
costs.
• Key Applications: chemical storage, liquid storage, bulk sol-
ids storage (gravel, flour bins, grains, cereals), plastic pellets
■
Overview
The SITRANS LU02 is a dual point ultrasonic long-range level
controller for liquids and solids in one or two vessels up
to 60 m (200 ft).
Handheld programmer shown is an accessory and must be or-
dered separately.
■
Benefits
• Dual point, long-range level monitoring
• Easy to install; easy to program using removable infrared
keypad (optional)
• Compatible with all Echomax
®
transducers
• Backlit LCD display with reading in standard engineering units
• Automatic level-to-volume conversion for standard or custom
tank shapes
• Dolphin Plus and SmartLinx compatible
• High/low alarms
■
Application
SITRANS LU02 will measure liquids, solids or a combination of
both in one or two vessels of different sizes, shapes and config-
urations up to 60 m (200 ft).
The system uses ultrasonic technology to measure level, space,
distance, volume or average/differential. It features patented
Sonic Intelligence
®
echo processing software for superior reli-
ability. Transducers can be mounted up to 365 m (1200 ft) from
the monitor.
Readings are displayed in user-selectable linear engineering
units on the backlit LCD.
It features an onboard communications port that automatically
configures for RS-232, RS-485 or bi-polar current loop. It will
connect to a DCS or PLC using Siemens SmartLinx
