Operation
RUN Mode and PROGRAM Mode
SITRANS Probe LU has two modes of operation: RUN and PROGRAM.
SITRANS Probe LU automatically starts in RUN mode when power is applied, and detects the
material level. The primary reading displays the material level (in meters) referenced from
Empty (process empty level). This is the default start-up display mode.
System status is displayed on the LCD, or on a remote communications terminal.
RUN Mode Display
Use the hand programmer to control the display.12
1 – Primary Reading (displays level, distance, or volume1, in either units or percent).
2 – Secondary Reading (displays Parameter number for Auxiliary Reading2)
3 – Echo status indicator: Reliable Echo or Unreliable Echo
4 – Units or Percent
5 – Active bar graph represents material level
6 – Auxiliary Reading (depending on the parameter selected, it displays milliAmp value,
distance, or echo confidence, with units where applicable.)

8. Enable False Echo Suppression: set P837 (Auto False Echo Suppression)
Using P837 and P838 (perform this function at low tank levels)
The TVT (Time Varying Threshold) curve sets a threshold which screens out false echoes1. If
SITRANS Probe LU 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
transducer reflections, nozzle echoes, or other vessel false echoes2.
.Using P837 and P838 (continued)
a. Determine the actual distance from the transducer face to the material level.
b. Select P838 and key in [distance to material level – 0.5 m].

SITRANS Probe LU
SITRANS Probe LU er en sløjfeforsynet kontinuert niveaumåler, der anvender avanceret
ultralydsteknologi. Dette instrument består af en elektronisk komponent, der er forbundet til
transduceren og procestilslutningen.
Transduceren fås i ETFE (ethylen-tetrafluoroethylen) eller PVDF (polyvinylidenfluorid), hvilket
gør det muligt at anvende SITRANS Probe LU inden for et stort udvalg af industrier og
applikationer, hvor der bruges korrosive kemikalier.
Ultralydstransduceren indeholder en temperaturføler for at kompensere for
temperaturændringer i applikationen.
Kommunikationen foregår via HART1, og signalerne behandles ved hjælp af Sonic
Intelligence®.
