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.
Echo processing A.4.1 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 168
Technical reference A.4 Echo processing 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. ALGORITHM (2.4.5.1.) (Page 100) The true echo is selected based on the setting for the Echo selection algorithm.

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 171
Technical reference A.4 Echo processing Auto False Echo Suppression Range Auto False Echo Suppression Range specifies the range within which the learned TVT is applied. Default TVT is applied over the remainder of the range. The learned TVT screens out the false echoes caused by obstructions. The default TVT allows the material echo to rise above it.
Measurement range NEAR RANGE (2.4.1.) (Page 98) 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 104) is generally recommended in preference to...
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 96) 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.
Technical reference A.7 Loss of Echo (LOE) Loss of Echo (LOE) A.7.1 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 103) describes the quality of an echo.
