LM200 Laser level transmitter Overview The laser level transmitter (LM200) is a non-contact, level and distance measuring instrument designed for granular solid materials and opaque liquids. Based on pulsed laser technology, the LM200 embodies speed and accuracy in a single, easy to use and install product. The characteristic narrow beam divergence of the laser permits direct aiming to the target surface without interference from structure or falling material. With both continuous 4-20 mA and single point relay outputs, the LM200 can operate as a process control transmitter while...

User speciﬁed low level: 4 mA User speciﬁed high level: 20 mA Red laser pointer for alignment Continuous output Range to light colors Range Range to dark colors Basic settings Ultimate range The ultimate limit of range for the LM200 depends on the reflectivity of the material being measured, not on the height of the vessel. Dark colored materials can be measured over a shorter range than light colored materials. Using the chart on the left, a visual comparison between the graded “Visual range guide” strip and the surface to be measured tells you what range is practically possible....
