Key considerations
• Nozzle design and nozzle location are critical to a successful application.
• Avoid reflective interference from vessel walls and obstructions by following the
guidelines below.
Nozzle design
Nozzle location
• Locate antenna at least 1 meter away from
side wall.
• Keep emission cone free of interference
from ladders, pipes, I-beams or filling
streams.
• Make allowance for beam spread to avoid
interference with the emission cone.
Device orientation
Align the antenna so that the radar cone is
perpendicular to the surface of the monitored
material, if possible.
Easy Aimer Installation
1. Holding the electronics enclosure firmly,
loosen the Easy Aimer ball locking bolts and
gently reposition the enclosure (see
Nozzle
design
above).
2. Direct SITRANS LR460 so the horn antenna
is pointed at an angle perpendicular to the material surface, if possible. (As a guide, aim
the beam at a point approximately 2/3 of the way across the tank diameter.)
3. When the desired position is reached, re-tighten the 5 bolts to 15-23 N m (11 to 17 Lbf-ft).
Note: When the Easy Aimer ball is loosened,
the device is free to tilt to a maximum of 30°.
min. clearance
10 mm (4")
• Bottom edge of horn must project from nozzle.
• Nozzle must have adequate clearance to allow LR460 to be positioned at an angle (see

Wiring
Connecting SITRANS LR460
1. Release the cover lock on the enclosure with a 3 mm Allen key and unscrew the cover.
(Use a screwdriver for extra leverage, if required.)
2. Loosen the cable gland and push the power cable through until it reaches the terminal
strip.
3. Go to
SITRANS LR460 HART wiring on page 7 or SITRANS LR460 PROFIBUS PA wiring
on page 8 for next steps.
WARNINGS:
• Turn off power to the device before removing the cover in a hazardous area.
• All field wiring for AC models must have insulation suitable for at least 250 V.
• The DC input terminals shall be supplied from a source that provides electrical
isolation between the input and the output, in order to meet the applicable safety
requirements of IEC 61010-1.
• The equipment shall be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of up to 16 A in the
building installation.
• A circuit breaker or switch in the building installation, marked as the disconnect
switch, shall be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the
operator.
• To avoid short-circuits, do not connect a load resistance with bare wires inside the
connection box.
Notes:
• AC and DC input circuits: min. 14 AWG (2.5 sq. mm) copper wire.
• Lay power cables separately from communication wiring.
• Recommended torque on terminal clamping screws: 0.5 to 0.6 N m (0.37 to 0.44 Lbf-ft).

4. Connect the earth conductor of the power supply to
the earth terminal on the metal bracket inside
the enclosure. Adjust the cable length so that the
earth conductor would be last to disconnect if cable
is pulled.
5. Tighten the cable gland and check the strain relief
(pull and turn).
Note: LR460 HART requires no power from the 4-20 mA loop.

Power Demands
To determine how many devices can be connected to a bus line, calculate the combined
maximum current consumption of all the connected devices: 10.5 mA for SITRANS LR460.
Allow a current reserve for safety.
Bus Termination
PROFIBUS PA MUST be terminated at both extreme ends of the cable for it to work properly.
Please refer to the PROFIBUS PA User and Installation Guidelines (order number 2.092),
available from www.profibus.com.

Programming SITRANS LR460
To set up SITRANS LR460 for a simple application requires only the following settings:
• select application type (silo construction)
• select operation mode: level, distance or space
• set speed of response
• set high and low calibration points
A Quick Start Wizard groups together all the settings you need. There are two ways to access
the wizard:
•
Quick Start Wizard via the handheld programmer on page 10
•
Quick Start Wizard via SIMATIC PDM on page 13
Activating SITRANS LR460
Power up the instrument. SITRANS LR460 automatically starts up in RUN mode, and detects
the distance to the material level referenced from the sensor flange face. The LCD displays the
measurement and the default unit is meters. System status is displayed on the LCD, or on a
remote communications terminal.
RUN mode display
Quick Start Wizard via the handheld programmer
The Quick Start menu appears as soon as you activate PROGRAM mode.
Note: SITRANS LR460 only supports SIMATIC PDM version 6.0 with SP2 HF1 (or higher).
Notes:
• Keep infrared devices such as laptops, cell phones, and PDAs, away from
SITRANS LR460 to prevent inadvertent operation.
• Frequently switching the device off and on causes wear of the electronics. For details,
see the full manual.
Notes:
• The wizard is a complete package and the settings are inter-related.
• Do not use the Quick Start Wizard to modify individual parameters. See the full manual
for detailed instructions.
• Changes apply only after you select YES in parameter 1.8 (APPLY?).

1.7 Rate
Sets the reaction speed of the device to measurement changes in the target range.
Use a setting just faster than the maximum filling or emptying rate (whichever is greater).
Slower settings provide higher accuracy, faster settings allow for more level fluctuation.
1.8 Apply Changes (APPLY?)
In order to save the Quick Start settings it is necessary to enable Apply Changes.
Select YES. SITRANS LR460 is now ready to operate and returns to RUN mode.
Communication via HART or PROFIBUS PA
Quick Start Wizard via SIMATIC PDM
The graphical Quick Start Wizard groups together all the settings you need to make for a
simple application into 4 steps.
To use HART or PROFIBUS PA, you will need a PC configuration tool: we recommend
SIMATIC PDM.
Please consult the operating instructions or online help for details on using SIMATIC PDM.
(Application Guides for setting up SMPI HART and PROFIBUS PA instruments with SIMATIC
PDM are available on our website: www.siemens.com/processautomation.)
Device Description (DD)
You will need the most up-to-date DD for SIMATIC PDM version 6.0 with SP2 HF1 (or higher).
You can locate the DD in Device Catalog, under Sensors/Level/Echo/Siemens Milltronics/
SITRANS LR460. If you do not see SITRANS LR460 under Siemens Milltronics, you can
download the DD from the product page of our website at: https://pia.khe.siemens.com/
index.asp?Nr=14655, under Downloads.
Save the files to your computer, and extract the zipped file to an easily accessed location.
Launch SIMATIC PDM – Manager Device Catalog, browse to the unzipped DD file and select it.
