Siemens SITRANS LR110 80 GHz Radar Level Transmitter for Marine Tanks

Category:

Product overview

The Siemens SITRANS LR110 is a compact 80 GHz FMCW radar transmitter designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of liquids, slurries and bulk solids.

Its narrow radar beam, compact PVDF housing and high measurement accuracy make it suitable for smaller tanks, confined installation areas and demanding marine or industrial environments.

Key features

  • Non-contact continuous level measurement
  • 80 GHz FMCW radar technology
  • Up to 20-metre measuring range, depending on configuration
  • Approximately ±2 mm measurement accuracy
  • Narrow 8° beam angle
  • Bluetooth commissioning using SITRANS Mobile IQ
  • Chemically resistant PVDF enclosure
  • Compact design for restricted installation areas
  • 4–20 mA with HART 7 communication
  • Optional Modbus RTU communication
  • Hazardous-area versions available
  • Suitable for measurement through non-metallic tank covers
  • No moving components and minimal maintenance
