What does it mean when Siemens SITRANS LR560 is nearing its lifetime limit according to Maintenance Required Limit?
Replacement of the Siemens Transmitter is recommended as the device is nearing its lifetime limit according to the value set in Maintenance Required Limit.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS LR560 cannot be programmed via the handheld programmer?
If the Siemens Transmitter cannot be programmed via the handheld programmer, ensure that Write Protect is set to the unlock value.
What causes a device error on Siemens Transmitter?
If your Siemens Transmitter shows a device error, it could be due to: * Low voltage at the LR560. * A hardware defect. To resolve this: * Confirm the voltage is within specifications and modify the wiring or increase the source voltage accordingly. * If it's a hardware defect, contact your local Siemens representative for repair.
Why can't I set a SITRANS LR560 parameter via remote communications on my Siemens Transmitter?
If you're unable to change a SITRANS LR560 parameter via remote communications on your Siemens Transmitter: * Ensure Write Protect is set to the unlock value, then try setting the parameter via the handheld programmer. * Some parameters can only be changed when the device is not scanning. Try pressing Mode to put the device into PROGRAM mode.
What to do when Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter PV exceeds user configured min/max range for mA output?
If a fault occurs on your Siemens Transmitter because the PV exceeds the user-configured minimum or maximum range for mA output, you can: * Adjust the process to fall within the limits of the min./max. mA values. * Adjust the limits of mA if possible.
How to fix invalid user configuration on Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter?
If the user configuration is invalid on your Siemens Transmitter because parameters like Low Calibration Point, High Calibration Point, Volume breakpoints, or Auto False-Echo Suppression are set to invalid values, you should: * Reconfigure the unit. * Ensure that the difference between the High Calibration Point and Low Calibration Point is not less than or equal to zero. Perform a Master Reset if needed.
How to remove material build-up on Siemens Transmitter antenna?
If the display shows material build-up on the antenna of your Siemens Transmitter: * Use the air purge feature to clean the antenna * Relocate the SITRANS LR560.
How to troubleshoot Siemens SITRANS LR560 when it fails to get a measurement within the Fail-safe LOE Timer period?
If your Siemens Transmitter fails to get a measurement within the Fail-safe LOE Timer period, it could be due to several reasons: * Incorrect installation. * Antenna material buildup. * Foaming or other adverse process conditions. * Invalid configuration range. To resolve this: * Ensure the installation details are correct. * Check for and clean any antenna material buildup. * Adjust the process conditions to minimize foam or other adverse conditions. * Correct the configuration range. If the issue persists after these steps, contact your local Siemens representative.
What to do if EEPROM is corrupt on Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter?
Reset power. If fault persists, contact your local Siemens representative.
What to do if there is an internal error on Siemens Transmitter?
Reset power. If fault persists, contact your local Siemens representative.
