Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
personnel qualified
for the specific

Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order 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 only form one element of such a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit:
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under:

1.5
Transportation and storage
To guarantee sufficient protection during transport and storage, observe the following:
●Keep the original packaging for subsequent transportation.
●Devices/replacement parts should be returned in their original packaging.
●If the original packaging is no longer available, ensure that all shipments are properly
packaged to provide sufficient protection during transport. Siemens cannot assume
liability for any costs associated with transportation damages.
NOTICE
Insufficient protection during storage
The packaging only provides limited protection against moisture and infiltration.
•Provide additional packaging as necessary.
Special conditions for storage and transportation of the device are listed in Technical
reference (Page 187).

2.1.7
Industry Canada
The SITRANS LR560 complies with Industry Canada standard RSS211 (March 2015).
1. The installation of the SITRANS LR560 shall be done by trained installers, in strict
compliance with the manufacturer's instructions.
2. The use of this device is on a “no-interference, no-protection” basis. That is, the user shall
accept operations of high-powered radar in the same frequency band which may interfere
with or damage this device. However, devices found to interfere with primary licensing
operations will be required to be removed at the user’s expense.
3. The installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km from the Penticton
radio astronomy station (British Columbia latitude: 49° 19' 12" N, longitude: 119° 37'12"
W). For devices not meeting this 10 km separation (e.g. the Okanagan Valley, British
Columbia) the installer/ user must coordinate with and obtain the written concurrence of
the Director of the Penticton radio astronomy station before the equipment can be
installed or operated. The Director of the DRAO may be contacted at 250-497-2300 or at
[e-mail]. (Alternatively, the Manager, Regulatory
Standards, Industry Canada, may be contacted.)
2.2
