Application The Probe LR is ideal for applications with chemical vapours, temperature gradients, vacuum or pressure, such as tank farms, chemical storage, digesters and long-range applications. SITRANS Probe LR has a range of 0.3 to 20 m (1 to 65 ft).Probe LR is designed for safe and simple programming using the Intrinsically Safe handheld programmer without having to open the instrument’s lid. It has a standard Uni-Construction polypropylene rod antenna that offers excellent chemical resis- tance and is hermetically sealed. The Uni-Construction antenna includes an internal, integrated shield that eliminates vessel noz-zle interference. SITRANS Probe LR incorporates Process Intel-ligence
® signal processing. The Probe LR also has a high sig-nal-to-noise ratio leading to improved reliability.Start-up is easy with as few as two parameters for basic opera-tion. Programming is simple using SIMATIC PDM, HART
