LLT100
Laser level transmitter
Quick start instructions for
LLT100 laser level transmitter
Measurement made easy
Introduction
The LLT100 is a high performance laser level
transmitter that accurately measures level, distance,
and position over long ranges in industrial
environments. The LLT100, using an eye-safe pulsed
laser beam, features advanced timing and
sophisticated signal processing for pinpoint
accuracy.
Features
• Range up to: 100 m (330 ft) for level of solids /
30 m (100 ft) for level of liquids / 200 m (660 ft)
for positioning applications
• Narrow, easy-to-aim laser beam
• Measures solid surface even at wide angles
• Measures liquid levels even for clear liquids
• Robust aluminum or stainless steel enclosure
• Easy and intuitive setup / no calibration required
• Explosion proof class 1 / division 1 (zone 1)
• 2-wire power from the 4 to 20 mA loop
• HART communication
• Embedded HMI / Display

1 Health & Safety
WARNING
Bodily injury
Read the LLT100 Operating Instruction OI/LLT100 - EN
carefully before working with the product.
For personal and system safety, and for optimum
performance, make sure that you thoroughly understand
the contents before installing, using or maintaining this
instrument.
NOTICE
• All servicing of the equipment is to be performed at
factory by qualified service personnel only.
• No user / operator adjustments inside the LLT100 level
transmitter are recommended by the manufacturer.

3 Mounting
Install away from falling
material for easiest
configuration
For solids laser beam can
be aimed at any angle
Also typically applies to other
scattering surfaces such as
slurries and some turbulent
liquids
For typical liquid applications
laser beam must be as
perpendicular as possible,
not exceeding 90° ± 5° to
the surface
4 Easy setup
1 Rotate the housing: unscrew the stop tang-screw by
approximately 1 rotation (do not pull it out) before removing
the housing. When the desired position is reached,
re-tighten the stop tang-screw.
2 Connect the cables (15.5 to 42 V DC) to the LLT100 laser level
transmitter – if using HART the minimum input voltage is
21 V DC.
3 Power on the transmitter.
4 Press the Right arrow key ( ) on the display and select your
access level using the Up and Down arrow keys ( ).
5 Set the main parameters at the Easy Setup menu:
a Select the required language.
b Select the measurement mode:
standard, clear liquid, positioning or dust/vapor.
c Enter the vessel height (URP).
d Set the sensor offset from the vessel top.
e Select the primary variable (PV) for the 4 to 20 mA output:
level, ullage, volume.
f Choose the unit of the primary variable (PV):
m, cm, mm, ft.
g Set the value for vessel empty (LRV).
h Set the value for vessel full (URV).
i Enable or disable the filling rate.
j Enter the Tag name.
6 Once the settings are completed, press Exit to return to the
Distance view.
Refer to Operating Instruction OI/LLT100 -EN for detailed
configuration / setup information.
