The Sitrans LR560 is available with Hart, Profibus PA, or Foundation Feldbus connectivity. Local programming is performed using integrated keys or a handheld infrared programmer. The Sitrans LR560 also supports remote configuration and diagnostics via Siemens Simatic PDM (Process Device Manager), Emerson AMS, or PACTware when using Siemens DTM. The backlit display can be rotated to four positions for optimal visibility. A newly developed lenticular antenna is used for the first time in the Sitrans LR560. In addition to its compact design, it is notable for its high immunity to material deposits; furthermore, its integrated sweep connection allows for the rapid removal of adhering bulk materials. Due to the high operating frequency, precise instrument aiming is not usually required. An adjustable flange is available as an option to direct the beam to a specific point, such as the silo outlet.
