Safety notes Safety marking symbols In man- Description product earth (ground) terminal (shield) protective conductor terminal Dispose of in an environmentally safe manner, and according to local regulations. WARNING: refer to accompanying documents (manual) for details. CAUTION: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions prior to handling electronic components within the wiring compartment.
Description Note • Installation, maintenance, and commissioning must be performed by qualified technical personnel. • The device must be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual. • This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to several frequency-based communications.
Installing/mounting Note • Installation shall be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with local governing regulations. • For heavy material, only top mounting of paddle switch is recommended. • Compact SITRANS LPS200 is recommended for side mounting on bins for low or intermediate levels.
Food grade material The materials are available for use under normal and predictable applications (according to directive 1935/2004 Art. 3). Other conditions can influence safety. After mounting and as a precaution against water ingress into the housing, turn the housing clockwise until the cable entries point downward.

Sensitivity ① Sensitivity spring ② High ③ Medium ④ Universal voltage version shown. To adjust the sensitivity of the device, use pliers to move the sensitivity spring to the appropriate position (factory setting is medium). The optional measuring vanes can also improve sensitivity.
Connection WARNING • Open device only when supply voltage is switched off. • For switch-selectable voltage version, select correct voltage using manual voltage jumper before switching on the power supply. Note • All field wiring must have insulation suitable for at least 250 V AC. •...
Note • Before opening the lid, ensure there are no dust deposits around the device. Ensure that the atmosphere around the device is settled. • Use a fuse for the signal output and power supply (max. 10 A, fast or slow, HBC, 250 V). •...

Switching logic (universal voltage, DPDT) FSH: Use this setting when sensor is used as a full detector. Power failure or line break is regarded as "full" signal (protection against overfilling). FSL: Use this setting when sensor is used as an empty detector.
Alarm output - fail-safe option (universal voltage, DPDT) ① Yellow or green ② ③ Fault ④ No fault Switching and timing behavior: If the vane is not covered, the rotating vane shaft will send pulses at 20 second intervals. In case of fault, the pulses are missed. After 30 seconds, the alarm relay will open.
Please note the following: ● The user is responsible for all changes and repairs made to the device. ● All new components must be provided by Siemens. ● Restrict repair to faulty components only. ● Do not re-use faulty components.

Technical reference Principle of operation A low revolution gearing motor drives a rotating measuring vane. When material reaches the rotating vane, rotation stops, actuating a switch. When the vane is no longer covered, rotation resumes and the switch reverts to its normal condition. The synchronous induction motor is freely suspended within the housing.
