SITRANS LC300
SITRANS LC300 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual,
otherwise protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications.
SITRANS LC300 is a cost-effective instrument for level measurement in applications such as
the processing of food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, detergents and pet food. It performs
in liquids, bulk solids and slurries, including viscous (conductive or nonconductive) materials,
even in challenging environments involving vapour and dust.
LC300 is a 2-wire instrument combining a sophisticated, yet easy-to-adjust, microprocessor
transmitter with field-proven probes.
The electronic component contains the measurement module (driver) and the
microprocessor module. This set of parts forms a calibrated pair that measures process
capacitance in pico Farads (pF) which is proportional to the level of material in the tank. An
optional safety barrier can be included in the electronic compartment for Hazardous Area
applications.
The probe comprises a measurement section and an active shield section that is a fixed
length. The probe is the primary system sensor, and it indicates the electrical capacitance
value of the measurement section relative to the environment (tank wall, stilling well, or
conductive material). This part of the probe connects to the electronic transmitter.
