  • Page 5: Introduction To The Sitrans Lc 300

    Introduction to the SITRANS LC 300 The SITRANS LC 300 is a cost-effective instrument for level measurement in high accuracy 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 non-conductive) materials, even in challenging environments involving vapour and dust.

  • Page 6: Safety Notes

    The Manual Notes: • Please follow the installation and operating procedures for a quick, trouble-free installation and to ensure the maximum accuracy and reliability of your Siemens Milltronics instrument. • This manual applies to the SITRANS LC 300 only. This manual will help you set up your LC 300 for optimum performance. We always welcome suggestions and comments about manual content, design, and accessibility.

  • Page 18: Interconnection

    Interconnection Signal Amplifier/Power Supply The SITRANS LC 300 uses a switched power supply circuit that makes the most efficient use of the available power present on the terminals. If the signal current is low (4 mA), the terminal voltage will increase due to a voltage drop of other components in the loop, and if the signal current is high (20 mA), the terminal voltage will decrease.

    (:) is displayed when the debounce delay timer has expired and the new value has been accepted. Positions 0 (Primary Variable in pF) and 3 (corresponding loop-current values in mA) are the recommended positions during normal operation. 7ML19985HE01 SITRANS LC 300 – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 15...

    LCD will read C:An. System errors that would trigger a fault are a checksum error, an absence of measurement signal, or a primary variable beyond 1.66 pF (low) or 3300 pF (high). 7ML19985HE01 SITRANS LC 300 – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 17...
  • Page 22 For example: If fault value 1 and fault value 2 occur together, the display will read fault value 3. If the display reads fault value 10, it means fault value 8 and fault value 2 have occurred together. Page 18 SITRANS LC 300 – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985HE01...

  • Page 24: Maintenance

    Maintenance The SITRANS LC 300 requires no regular maintenance or cleaning. Even with significant build-up on the SITRANS LC 300 probe, the level controller will continue to operate. Note: Build-up of material on the active shield area has little or no effect on the performance of the SITRANS LC 300.
