  • Page 188: Technical Reference

    Electromagnetic waves are not attenuated by dust. SITRANS LR560 consists of an enclosed electronic circuit coupled to an antenna and process connection. The electronic circuit generates a radar signal (78 GHz) that is directed to the lens antenna.

  • Page 189: Echo Processing

    Echo processing A.3.1 Process Intelligence The signal processing technology embedded in Siemens radar level devices is known as Process Intelligence. Process intelligence provides high measurement reliability regardless of the dynamically changing conditions within the vessel being monitored. The embedded Process Intelligence dynamically adjusts to the constantly changing material surfaces within these vessels.
  • Page 190 Technical reference A.3 Echo processing ① default TVT ② echo profile ③ material level ④ echo marker The device characterizes all echoes that rise above the TVT as potential good echoes. Each peak is assigned a rating based on its strength, area, height above the TVT, and reliability, amongst other characteristics.
  • Page 191 Technical reference A.3 Echo processing CLEF (Constrained Leading Edge Fit) ● Uses the leading edge of the echo. ● Is used mainly to process the echo from materials with a low dK value. In an almost empty flat-bottomed vessel, a low dK material may reflect an echo weaker than the echo from the vessel bottom.

  • Page 192: Clef Range (2.4.5.4.)

    In radar applications, two measurement verification options are used: Lock Off SITRANS LR560 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected. Material Agitator A new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria before the window will move to include it.

  • Page 193: Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.)

    Technical reference A.3 Echo processing A.3.6 AUTO FALSE ECHO SUPPRESSION (2.4.8.1.) Note For detailed instructions on using this feature via the handheld programmer, see AUTO ECHO SUPPRESSION (2.4.8.1.) (Page 132). Auto False Echo Suppression is designed to learn a specific environment (for example, a particular vessel with known obstructions), and in conjunction with Auto False Echo Suppression Range to remove false echoes appearing in front of the material echo.

  • Page 195: Measurement Range

    Measurement range NEAR RANGE (2.4.1.) (Page 127) Near Range programs SITRANS LR560 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default blanking distance is 27.8 cm (0.91 ft) from the sensor reference point. Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But AUTO ECHO SUPPRESSION (2.4.8.1.) (Page 132) is generally recommended in preference to...

  • Page 196: Measurement Response

    Technical reference A.5 Measurement response Measurement response Note Units are defined in Quick Start Wizard (1.1.) and are in meters by default. RESPONSE RATE (2.3.6.1.) (Page 125) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to changes in the measurement. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast.

  • Page 197: Loss Of Echo (Loe)

    Technical reference A.7 Loss of Echo (LOE) Loss of Echo (LOE) A loss of echo (LOE) occurs when the calculated measurement is judged to be unreliable because the echo confidence value has dropped below the echo confidence threshold. CONFIDENCE (2.4.7.1.) (Page 132) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality.
