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.

These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Process fitting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasion and mechanical influences
4.2 Mounting versions
Mounting bracket
For a rigid mounting, a mounting bracket with opening for thread G1 is
recommended. The mounting of the device in the bracket is carried out via the
supplied G1 counter nut of plastic. Take note of chapter " Mounting instructions" for
the recommended distance to the wall.

4.3Mounting instructions
Figure4.1 Mounting via a mounting bracket
4.3 Mounting instructions
Installation position
When mounting the device, keep a distance of at least 200mm (7.874in) from the
vessel wall. If the device is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops,
multiple echoes can arise. However, these can be suppressed by an appropriate
adjustment (see chapter " Setup").
If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a auto false echo
suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is
expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the auto false echo suppression at
a later date with existing buildup.
Figure4.2 Mounting of the radar transmitter on round vessel tops
Reference point
The centre of the antenna lens is the beginning of the measuring range and at the
same time the reference point for the min./max. adjustment, see following diagram:

Inflowing medium
Do not mount the transmitters in or above the filling stream. Make sure that you
detect the medium surface, not the inflowing product.
Figure4.4 Mounting of the radar transmitter with inflowing medium
Nozzle
For nozzle mounting, the nozzle should be as short as possible and its end rounded.
This reduces false reflections from the nozzle.
With threaded nozzle, the antenna end should protrude at least 5mm (0.2in) out of
the nozzle.
Figure4.5 Recommended threaded nozzle mounting of SITRANS LR110
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount SITRANS LR110
on nozzles longer than the antenna. The nozzle end should be smooth and burr-free,
if possible also rounded.
Note
When mounting on longer nozzles, we recommend carrying out a auto false echo
suppression (see chapter " Parameter adjustment").
You will find recommended values for nozzle heights in the following illustration or
the table. The values come from typical applications. Deviating from the proposed
dimensions, also longer nozzles are possible, however the local conditions must be
taken into account.
