Overview
SITRANS LU10 is an ultrasonic long-range level monitor for liq-
uids and solids, offering 10-point monitoring in a single unit.
Handheld programmer shown is an accessory and must be or-
dered separately.
■
Benefits
• Ten point, long-range level monitoring
• Automatic level-to-volume conversion for standard or custom
tank shapes
• Dolphin Plus and SmartLinx
®
compatible
• Backlit LCD display with reading in standard engineering units
• Easy to install, easy to program using removable infrared key-
pad (optional)
■
Application
It can be used in a wide range of applications to scan liquids,
solids or a combination of both contained in vessels of differing
size, shape and configuration up to 60 m (200 ft).
SITRANS LU10 uses ultrasonic technology to measure level,
space, distance, volume or average/differential. Transducers
can be mounted up to 365 m (1200 ft) from the monitor. The
SITRANS LU10 features patented Sonic Intelligence
®
echo pro-
cessing software for superior reliability. Readings are displayed
in user-selectable linear engineering units on the LCD.
SITRANS LU10 will connect to a DCS or PLC using Siemens
SmartLinx
®
interface modules, giving you remote 2-way commu-
nication and full parameter access. Modules for popular indus-
trial buses can be factory installed or added later to meet chang-
ing needs. No external gateway is required, reducing hardware
and cabling costs.
• Key Applications: chemical storage, liquid storage, bulk sol-
ids storage (sugar, flour bins, grains, cereals), plastic pellets,
tank farms
