Safety notes 2
2.1 Authorised personnel
All operations described in this documentation must be carried out only by trained,
qualified personnel authorised by the plant operator.
During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment
must always be worn.
2.2 Appropriate use
SITRANS LR150 is a transmitter for continuous level measurement.
You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter " Product
description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the transmitter is properly used according
to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible
supplementary instructions.
2.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of this product can give rise to application-specific
hazards, e.g. vessel overfill through incorrect mounting or adjustment. Damage to
property and persons or environmental contamination can result. Also, the protective
characteristics of the transmitter can be impaired.
2.4 General safety instructions
This is a state-of-the-art transmitter complying with all prevailing regulations and
directives. The transmitter must only be operated in a technically flawless and
reliable condition. The operator is responsible for the trouble-free operation of
the transmitter. When measuring aggressive or corrosive media that can cause a
dangerous situation if the transmitter malfunctions, the operator has to implement
suitable measures to make sure the transmitter is functioning properly.
The safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the national installation
standards as well as the valid safety regulations and accident prevention rules must
be observed by the user.
For safety and warranty reasons, any invasive work on the device beyond that
described in the operating instructions manual may be carried out only by personnel
SITRANS LR150
Operating Instructions, 08/2020, A5E50352155 3

Safety notes
2.5Radar frequencies for worldwide use
authorised by the manufacturer. Arbitrary conversions or modifications are explicitly
forbidden. For safety reasons, only the accessory specified by the manufacturer must
be used.
To avoid any danger, the safety approval markings and safety tips on the device must
also be observed.
The low transmitting power of the radar transmitter is far below the internationally
approved limits. No health impairments are to be expected with intended use. The
band range of the transmission frequency can be found in chapter " Technical data".
2.5 Radar frequencies for worldwide use
Country specific settings for the radar signals are determined via the frequency. The
operating mode must be set in the operating menu via the respective adjustment
tool at the beginning of the setup (see chapter " Setup" resp. " Menu overview").
WARNING
Operating the device without selecting the frequency for the appropriate country
group constitutes a violation of the regulations of the radio approvals of the
respective country.
Further information can be found in the document " Regulations for radar level
measuring transmitters with radio licenses" on our homepage.
2.6 Installation and operation in the USA and Canada
This information is only valid for USA and Canada. Hence the following text is only
available in the English language.
Installations in the US shall comply with the relevant requirements of the National
Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70).
Installations in Canada shall comply with the relevant requirements of the Canadian
Electrical Code
A Class 2 power supply unit has to be used for the installation in the USA and
Canada.
2.7 Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that
support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
To protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement (and continuously maintain) a holistic, state-of-the-art
industrial security concept. Siemens products and solutions constitute one element
of such a concept.

Operating Instructions, 08/2020, A5E50352155

Safety notes
2.7Security information
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants,
systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should
only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent
such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g.
firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented,
please visit https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
Siemens products and solutions undergo continous development to make them
more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as
soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of
product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates
may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

Operating Instructions, 08/2020, A5E50352155

Description
3.3Adjustment
Functional principle
The transmitter emits a continuous, frequency-modulated radar signal through its
antenna. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received by the antenna
as an echo with modified frequency. The frequency change is proportional to the
distance and is converted into the level.
3.3 Adjustment
Local adjustment
On-site adjustment of the device is carried out via the optionally integrated HMI.
Wireless adjustment
Devices with integrated Bluetooth module can be adjusted wirelessly via
SiemensmobileIQapp.
