PRE LAUNCH INFO – Hygienic Process Connections for the Sitrans LR250
September 2014 – Siemens will be launching a new hygienic encapsulated antenna with a measuring range of up to 20 meters for the Sitrans LR250 radar level transmitter. The new antenna features FDA – and USP Class VI-approved TFM 1600 PTFE lens material, certified by 3-A and EHEDG for use in hygienic applications. Also featured is a selection of 17 standard hygienic process connections found in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries, among others. Advantage of this antenna for the user: minimal maintenance and easy cleaning as there is no need to remove the flush-mounted lens antenna during clean-in-place (CIP) cycles. The 2-wire, non-contacting 25 GHz pulse radar level transmitter has been designed to continuously monitor liquids and slurries in storage and process vessels. Sitrans LR250 is available immediately.
Sitrans LR250 is available with Hart, Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus communication protocols. Thanks to the graphical Quick Start Wizard, the Sitrans LR250 is operational within minutes, and the infrared handheld programmer supports local programming. Full function diagnostics comply with Namur NE 43. Sitrans LR250 has also achieved a SIL 2 functional safety declaration, making it suitable for use in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
