• Approved dust-tight and water-tight conduit seals are required for outdoor NEMA 4X /
type 4X / NEMA 6, IP67, IP68 locations.
• The maximum input voltage to the barrier must not exceed 250 V rms.
• Recommended intrinsically safe barriers are listed on page 9.
• Refer to
Instructions specific to hazardous area installations on page 10.
EU Equivalency (barrier selection)
Any zener diode safety barrier, certified by an EU approved certification body to [ EEx ia ] IIC,
its output voltage (Uo) not exceeding 30 V and its output current (Io) limited by load resistance
(Ro); such that Io= Uo/ Ro, does not exceed 120 mA.
IS Safety Barrier Selection
Selecting a suitable barrier or power supply requires knowledge about Intrinsic Safety and the
application. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the intrinsically safe
installation complies with both the apparatus approval requirements and the relevant national
code of practice.
How to select a passive barrier for SITRANS LR200
1. Make sure that the barrier safety description is suitable for the LR200 Intrinsically Safe
(IS) input parameters.
2. Determine the maximum end-to-end resistance of the barrier (Re-e) from the data sheet.
3. Determine other loop resistance (Rloop): for example, sense resistance, displays, and/or
PLC inputs.
4. Calculate Rworking = Re-e + Rloop.
5. Determine any non-linear voltage drops due to the barrier (Vbarrier) from the barrier data
sheet (for example, voltage drops due to diodes).
6. Calculate Vworking = Vsupply – Vbarrier.
7. Using Vworking and Rworking, confirm that operation is within the shaded area of the
graph
Loop Voltage versus Loop Resistance on page 5 of Appendix A.

8. Components to be incorporated into or used as replacements in the equipment shall be
fitted by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the manufacturer’s
documentation.
9. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that manual override is possible in order to
shut down the equipment and protective systems incorporated within automatic
processes which deviate from the intended operating conditions, provided that this does
not compromise safety.
10. The ‘X’ suffix to the certificate number relates to the following special conditions for safe
use:
a. Parts of the enclosure may be non-conducting and may generate an ignition-
capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. The user
should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be
subjected to external conditions (such as high-pressure steam) which might cause
a build-up of electrostatic charge on non-conducting surfaces.
b. As either Aluminum, Magnesium, Titanium or Zirconium
may be used at the
accessible surface of the equipment. In the event of rare incidents, ignition sources
due to impact and friction sparks could occur. This shall be considered when the
SITRANS LR200 is being installed in locations that specifically require group II,
category 1G equipment.
11. The certification of this equipment relies upon the following materials used in its
construction:
Aluminum alloy ANSI ref. A380.0 (aluminum enclosure option)
Valox 365 (injection moulded plastic enclosure option)
Ultem 1010 (window on plastic enclosure option)
Stycast 2651-40FR encapsulant, catalyst II
The detailed composition of Aluminum A380.0 as used in the metal enclosure (threaded
lid option only) is as follows:
Si – 8.5%, Fe – 1.3%, Cu – 3.5%, Mn – 0.5%, Mg – 0.1%, Ni – 0.1%, Zn – 3%,
Sn – 0.35%, others – 0.5%, Al - balance
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, then it is the
responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely
affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
Aggressive substances:e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals, or
solvents that may affect polymeric materials.
Suitable precautions: e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or
establishing from the material’s data sheet that it is resistant
to specific chemicals.

Notes:
• Setting P006 resets Span, if it has not
previously been set to a different value.
• The default setting for Span is based
on Operation (P001) and Empty (P006).
Span is set to Empty minus 110% of
Blanking distance1unless Operation is
set to distance (P001=3). In this case,
Span is set to Empty distance.
• Always prevent the monitored surface
from approaching within 0.3 m (1 ft) of
the reference point, as this is the
minimum distance detectable.

Using P837 and P838 (perform this function at low tank levels)
If SITRANS LR200 displays an incorrect full level, or if the reading fluctuates between a false
high level and a correct level, use P838 and P837 together to elevate the TVT (Time Varying
Threshold) in this region and de-sensitize the receiver from any ‘base noise’ caused by internal
antenna reflections, nozzle echoes, or other vessel false echoes1.
a. First rotate the instrument for best signal (lowest false echo amplitude).
b. Determine the distance from the reference point to the material level.
c. Select P838 and key in [distance to liquid level – 0.5 m].
d. Select P837, then press 2(Learn) and ENTER . P837 will automatically revert to 1
(use Learned TVT) after a few seconds.
9. Return to RUN
Press PROGRAM to return to RUN mode: setup is complete.
SITRANS LR200 Communications: HART
• You will need the full manual to acquire the list of applicable parameters.
• The HART Device Descriptor (DD) may be obtained from the HART Communication
Foundation at www.hartcomm.org
• We recommend that you use SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) to program your
instrument.
Maintenance
SITRANS LR200 requires no maintenance or cleaning under normal operating conditions. If
cleaning becomes necessary under severe operating conditions:
1. Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that
will not react adversely with either.
2. Remove the instrument from service and wipe the antenna clean using a cloth and
suitable cleaning solution.
Unit Repair and Excluded Liability
For detailed information, please see the inside back cover.
Notes:
• Use this function only if there is a minimum distance of 2 meters from SITRANS LR 200 to
the material.
• Set P837 and P838 during start up, if possible.
• If the vessel contains an agitator, the agitator should be running.
