WARNINGS:
• Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel and in
accordance with local governing regulations.
• Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or
inertness) for general purposes. For exposure to specific environments, check
with chemical compatibility charts before installing.
• Handle the device using the enclosure, not the antenna or the device tag, to avoid
damage.
Notes:
• The Process Device Tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly6). In
the event the device package is replaced, the Process Device Tag shall be transferred to
the replacement unit.
• SITRANS LR200 units are hydrostatically tested, meeting or exceeding the requirements
of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European Pressure Equipment
Directive.

English
Pressure Application
Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC
Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process mounts
have no pressure-bearing housing of their own and, therefore, do not come under the Pressure
Equipment Directive as pressure or safety accessories, (see EU Commission Guideline 1/8).
Nozzle design
• The end of the shield section should protrude a
minimum of 10 mm (0.4”) to avoid false echoes being
reflected from the nozzle.
Location on a manhole cover
• A manhole cover is typically a covered nozzle with a
diameter 610 mm (24”) or greater.
• For optimum signal conditions, locate the antenna
off-center, typically 100 mm (4") from the side.
Nozzle location
WARNINGS:
• Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection or instru-
ment housing while vessel contents are under pressure.
• Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure.
Notes:
• For nozzles 100 mm (4") in length or shorter use the 100 mm (4") shield.
• For nozzles 250 mm (10") in length or shorter use the 250 mm (10") shield.
• For horn and waveguide versions see the full manual which can be downloaded from
www.siemens.com/LR200.
WARNING: For vessels with conical or parabolic tops, avoid mounting the
instrument at the centre. (The concavity of the top can focus echoes into the centre,
giving false readings.)
Note: Under certain circumstances, it may be acceptable to mount the device at the centre of
a flat-topped tank. Please discuss this with your local Siemens representative.

Environment
• Provide an environment suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction.
• Provide a sunshield if the device will be mounted in direct sunlight.
Access for programming
• Provide easy access for viewing the display and programming via the hand programmer.
(continued on next page)
Nozzle location (continued)
Beam angle
• Beam angle is the width of the cone
where the energy density is half of the
peak energy density.
• The peak energy density is directly in front
of and in line with the antenna.
• There is a signal transmitted outside the
beam angle, therefore false targets may
be detected.
Emission Cone
• Keep emission cone free of interference
from ladders, pipes, I-beams or filling
streams.
• Locate the antenna away from the side
wall, to avoid interference from indirect
echoes.
• Make allowance for the emission cone spreading: beam angle depends on horn size.
Mounting instructions
Threaded Version
1) Before inserting the device into its mounting connection,
check to ensure the threads are matching to avoid
damaging them.
2) Screw the device into the process connection, and hand
tighten.
3) To rotate the enclosure, first loosen the three set-screws
securing the locking ring. After positioning the enclosure,
retighten the screws.
WARNING: For pressure applications, use PTFE tape or other appropriate thread
sealing compound, and tighten the process connection beyond hand-tight (max. torque
40 N·m (30 ft.lbs).
Notes:
• There is no limit to the number of times the device can be rotated.
• Orient the front or back of the device towards the closest vessel wall.
• Do not rotate the enclosure after programming and device configuration (a polarity shift
of the transmit pulse may cause an error).

Passive Shunt Diode Barriers
How to select a passive barrier for SITRANS LR200
To make sure that the barrier safety description is suitable for the LR200 Intrinsically Safe (IS)
input parameters, carry out the following calculations:
Re-e = max. end-to-end resistance of the barrier
Rloop = loop resistance (total of cable resistance plus any additional series
resistance, for example, PLC inputs and/or displays)
Vbarrier = value of any non-linear voltage drops due to the barrier
1) Determine the value for Re-e from the data sheet.
2) Calculate the total value for Rloop.
Note: Selecting a suitable PLC input module, power supply, or barrier 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.
Note: A well regulated supply voltage is required.
