SITRANS LR 300.book Page 28 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Rod Assembly Notes: Teflon paste (supplied) Optional Extension • If water or process fluids enter the connecting threads, this can cause reflections at the connection. These reflections will appear as false echoes. • Apply Teflon paste to the threads, and tighten slowly. Ensure that the rod sections mate securely with no gaps. Do not apply too much Teflon paste or the parts will not mate securely. • Do not use wrenches or pliers.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 29 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM If the mounting illustrated on page 28 is not suitable due to the minimum blanking requirements, consider the shielded rod or horn antenna options. Nozzles that are 200mm (8”) or larger in diameter provide excellent signal conditions. Under these conditions you can use the standard rod without extensions for nozzle lengths of up to 610mm (24”). Mounting: Threaded Rod Antenna You can use 1.5” or 2” threaded process connections.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 30 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Mounting: Horn Antennas or Shielded Rod The end of the horn, or the end of the shield section, should protrude a minimum of 10mm (0.5”) to avoid interference with the nozzle. 10 mm (0.5") 10 mm (0.5") Mounting: Waveguide Antenna This option is recommended for products with εr lower than 3. See P655 on page 68 for the related propagation factor.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 31 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Mounting: Stillpipe or Sidepipe This is an alternative to the waveguide antenna option, used for products with an εr less than 3 or for extremely turbulent or vortex conditions. This mounting arrangement can also be used to provide optimum signal conditions on foaming materials. Suitable pipe diameters are 50mm (2”) to 250mm (10”). A rod antenna or a horn antenna may be used.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 32 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Mounting: Horn with Waveguide Extensions Use this combination if the nozzle is long and the diameter is small. For example, if the nozzle is 100mm (4”) in diameter and 460mm (18”) in length), the rod antenna is not suitable due to nozzle interference. Waveguide extensions are available in custom lengths. If the horn diameter is too large for the nozzle opening, you need to insert it from inside the vessel.

SITRANS LR 300.book Page 45 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Operation Overview The SITRANS LR 300 is an advanced level-measuring device for liquids and slurries. Using advanced pulse radar technology, the device calculates material level by emitting a series of radar pulses and then analyzing their reflections. The device consists of an enclosed electronic component mounted to a flanged antenna component. The electronic component generates a 5.8 GHz (U.S.A. 6.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 46 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Loss of Echo (LOE) A loss of echo (LOE) occurs when the calculated measurement is judged to be unreliable because the confidence (P805) is less than the threshold (P804). Refer to Operation Troubleshooting on page 92. If the LOE condition persists beyond the time limit set by the Fail-Safe timer (P070), the Confidence icon will change from full to partial: Operation mmmmm to The response to LOE is set by P072 and P219.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 47 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Analog Output The SITRANS LR 300 can be programmed to provide an analog output (P200) of 4 to 20 mA, and for proportional or inverse span. Programming When the unit is put into PROGRAM mode, the analog output level holds its prior value unless the mA output function is the common output or HART is the communication protocol. Run P001 = 2 (space a.k.a.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 48 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM RUN/PROGRAM When you select PROGRAM mode, the SITRANS LR 300 stops responding to the process. It stores the most recent measurement, and holds the associated readings and mA signal output. The unit reverts to the parameter last addressed during the previous program session. When you select RUN mode, the transceiver resumes operation. The reading and mA output default to the last measurement taken.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 49 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Application Examples These SITRANS LR 300 application examples can be used as set-up references. The parameter value tables relate the values to the functions.

Values Range: 0 to 99999 Pre-set: 1 For devices connected with a serial Modbus slave protocol, this parameter is a number from 1-247. The network administrator must ensure that all devices on the network have unique addresses.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 74 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM P799 Communications Control (F = 1) This parameter determines the read/write access to parameters via remote communication. Index 1 controls serial communications via the RS-485 port, (Modbus only). Index 2 controls Profibus PA or HART.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 75 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM P801 Range Extension (F = 5%) Sets the amount of range extension as measured from the empty distance (P006) and extending beyond the measurement range. See Blanking on page 46. Range: 0 to 99% Values Pre-set: 5% Enter the value as a percentage of P006. The distance below empty is not blanked. For tanks with conical or parabolic bottoms, increase this parameter to ensure that an empty tank reads empty.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 76 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Algorithm Parameter (P820) P820 Algorithm (F = 8) Selects the algorithm to be applied to the echo profile in order to extract the true echo. Values 3 L = Largest only 8 bLF = best of Largest or First 12 F = First only Select 8 (bLF) for most applications and all mounting locations except the center of the vessel. Select 12 (F) for the center of the vessel mounting location and for still pipes and waveguide antennas used as stillpipes.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 77 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Adjust this parameter while viewing the echo profile with Dolphin Plus. Refer to the Dolphin Plus online help for details. The TVT curve is divided into 40 breakpoints, which you can access via the index field. Each breakpoint is normalized to a value of 0, as displayed in the parameter value field. By changing the breakpoint value up or down, the intensity of the bias applied to that breakpoint of the curve is changed accordingly.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 78 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM P837 Auto False Echo Suppression (F = 1)1 Use P837 and P838 during start up, if possible. It works ideally if the tank is empty or at low levels. Only use this function if there is a minimum 2m distance from the radar unit to the material. The agitator should be running, if the vessel contains an agitator. Use this feature to adjust the TVT Curve height to ignore false echoes on the Echo Profile by placing the TVT above the current signal.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 79 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Example After Auto False Echo Suppression TVT curve (Learned) Liquid level False echo If the SITRANS LR 300 displays a full level, or if the reading fluctuates between a high level and a correct level, set this parameter to elevate the TVT in this region and to desensitize the receiver from any ‘base noise’ caused by internal antenna reflections and/or nozzle echoes. Entry: 0 = Off (not used). 1 = Use Learned TVT.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 80 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM P838 Auto False Echo Suppression Distance (F = 1.0m) Defines the endpoint of the Learned TVT distance. Set this parameter with P837, as above. P839 TVT Hover Level (F = 40) Defines (in %) how high the TVT is placed above the profile, with respect to the largest echo. When the SITRANS LR 300 is located in the center of the vessel, this parameter may be reduced to prevent multiple echo detections.

SITRANS LR 300.book Page 85 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM The parameters are usually all read/write. However, before a parameter can be read or written to, the format (where decimal place is) and the indexes must be defined. Notes: • Parameter P999 is read only. • Parameter P999 (Master Reset) cannot be used via Modbus.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 86 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Primary Index (R43,999) and Secondary Index (R43,998) Many parameters are indexed. There are two possible indexes, a primary index and a secondary index. A secondary index is a sub-address of the primary index. If there is not an index, enter a value of 1. Reading Parameters 1. Write the primary index value into R43,999. This is a value between 1 and 40 that specifies the primary index on the parameter. This value is normally 1. 2.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 87 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Communications: Data Types The SITRANS LR 300 parameters do not always use integers to hold values. For the convenience of the programmer, those values are converted to and from a 16-bit integer number. This section describes the conversion process. Numeric Values Numeric parameter values are the most common.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 88 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Text Messages If a device parameter returns a text message, that message is converted to an integer and is then provided in the register.
SITRANS LR 300.book Page 89 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Error Handling Modbus Responses When polled by a Modbus Master, a slave device will do one of the following: 1. Not reply. This means that something went wrong with the transmission of the message. Echo back the command with the correct response (see the Modbus specification for more details). This is the normal response. Return an Exception Code. This reflects an error in the message. 2. 3.
• If the host attempts to write one or more registers that are out of range, an exception response code 2 or 3 is generated depending on whether the start address is valid. • If the host used an unsupported function code, an exception response code of 01 should be generated. However, this is not guaranteed and there may be no response. Communications mmmmm SITRANS LR 300.

SITRANS LR 300.book Page 122 Monday, June 10, 2002 7:18 PM Function Blocks – Analog Input The Analog Input (AI) function blocks produce the device outputs for Profibus. They utilize the outputs from the Level TB (PV, SV1, SV2, … SVn) and then apply any required scaling and quality checks. There are four AI blocks, which each use one of the TB outputs and modify it to produce the Level, Space, Distance and Volume OUT values. Note: These AI OUTs are not the same as the TB outputs available to the LCD.: .
