Overview Configuration
Installation

Build up of material in active shield Mounting on a bypass

area does not affect switch
operation.

SITRANS LC300 is an inverse frequency shift capacitance con-
tinuous level transmitter for liquid, interface, and solid applica-
tions. It is ideal for standard industrial applications in chemical,
hydrocarbon processing, food and beverage, water, wastewa-
ter, and mining, aggregate, and cement industries.

Benefits

Install probe at least 50 (2) from tank wall.
Stilling well (ground tube) version for low dielectric media, Note angle of repose and adjust accordingly.
agitated materials, and non-metallic vessels

Application SITRANS LC300 installation, dimensions in mm (inch)

SITRANS LC300 is a 2-wire level measurement instrument com-

bining a sophisticated, yet easy-to-adjust microprocessor with
field-proven probes. It is available in four versions: rod, rod with
stilling well, cable with PFA insulation, and cable without PFA in-
sulation.
Materials with low or high dielectric properties are accurately
measured and Active-Shield technology helps in ignoring the ef-
fects of buildup or condensation near vessel nozzle.
Key Applications: conductive (dK 20) and non-conductive
(dK < 20) media including: liquids and solids in standard
industrial processes, bulk solids applications involving dust,
and chemical processes involving vapor

Probe Applications
