C2.4 Measuring In "Direct" mode, the level signal is a Direct, TBF Auto, Direct
Mode reflection on the surface of the tank TBF Full
contents. If the dielectric constant is very
low, the device uses "TBF Auto" or "TBF
Full" mode. The device in "TBF" mode uses
the radar reflection on the bottom of the
tank (the signal goes through the tank
contents). The tank must have a flat bottom
for the device to operate correctly in TBF
mode. This menu item is set by default to
"Direct" for tank contents with an εr >1.4. If
εr is very low (<1.4), use "TBF Full". If εr is
low (εr = 1.4...1.5), use "TBF Auto" mode.
"TBF Auto" is an automatic mode that lets
the device make a selection between
"Direct" mode and "TBF" mode. If you use
"TBF Full" or "TBF Auto", enter the
dielectric constant in menu item C2.2
Epsilon R Product. Refer also to "Measuring
principle" on page 137.

Enable display smaller level readings. Installation
of the device on a manhole or at the centre
of a dome roof, and high dielectric products
(εr >5) can cause multiple reflections. A very
calm surface or a tank with a small convex
or flat roof can also cause multiple
reflections.
If this function is in operation, the device

looks for the first signal peak below the
process connection. This signal peak is then
used to measure the level of the tank
contents. If this function is not in operation,
the device looks for the largest signal below
the process connection.

setting: Expert

6.4.2 Empty spectrum recording

The empty spectrum recording procedure is important for the performance of the device. We
recommend that the tank is empty or only filled to the minimum level before you do the
procedure.
Use this procedure (menu item A4.2 Empty Spectrum) if there are fixed and moving objects in the
tank that can cause interference signals. The device does a scan for objects that do not change
their vertical positions in the tank (heating tubes, agitators, fuel assemblies etc.) and records the
data. The device can then use this data to put the measurement signal through a filter (empty
spectrum).
When the empty spectrum filter is on (when menu item C2.8 Empty Spectrum Enable is set to
"Enable"), it will ignore the interference signals.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the tank is empty or only filled to the minimum level.
NOTICE!
Because the device records the empty spectrum data, it is not necessary to do the procedure
again if you de-energize the device.
Before you do the empty spectrum recording procedure, install the device on the tank. For more
data about how to install the device, refer to Installation on page 24.

LR54 TECHNICAL DATA 8
8.1 Measuring principle

A radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected from the product surface and received after a
time t. The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave).
The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during
the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected on the
measuring surface and received with a time delay, t. Delay time, t=2d/c, where d is the distance
to the product surface and c is the speed of light in the gas above the product.
For further signal processing the difference Δf is calculated from the actual transmitted
frequency and the received frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance. A
large frequency difference corresponds to a large distance and vice versa. The frequency
difference Δf is transformed via a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and
then the distance is calculated from the spectrum. The level results from the difference between
the tank height and the measured distance.

8 TECHNICAL DATA LR54
Measurement modes
"Direct" mode
If the dielectric constant of the liquid is high (εr ≥1.4), the level signal is the reflection on the
surface of the liquid.
"TBF Auto" mode

If the dielectric constant of the liquid is low (εr 1.4...1.5, for long-distance measurement), you
must use "TBF Auto" mode to measure level correctly. "TBF Auto" is an automatic mode that
lets the device make a selection between "Direct" mode and "TBF" mode. If the device finds a
large radar reflection above the "tank bottom area" (the bottom 20% of the tank height), the
device will use "Direct" mode. If the device finds a large radar reflection in the "tank bottom
area", the device uses TBF mode. This mode can be used only in tanks with flat bottoms or in
stilling wells with a reference plate at the bottom.
"Full TBF" mode

TBF = Tank Bottom Following. If the dielectric constant of the liquid is very low (εr <1.4), you
must use "TBF Full" mode to measure level correctly. The device uses the radar reflection on
the bottom of the tank (the signal goes through the liquid). This mode can be used only in tanks
with flat bottoms or in stilling wells with a reference plate at the bottom.
CAUTION!
"TBF FULL" AND "TBF AUTO" MODES
It is important to enter the correct dielectric constant value in menu item C2.2 Epsilon R
Product. If this value is incorrect, the device will not measure level accurately.

9 DESCRIPTION OF HART INTERFACE LR54
9.1 General description

The HART® Protocol is an open digital communication protocol for industry. It is free to use by
anyone. It is included in the software embedded in signal converters of HART-compatible
devices.
There are 2 classes of devices which support the HART® Protocol: operating devices and field
devices. There are 2 classes of operating devices (Master): PC-supported workstations (Primary
Master) and manual control units (Secondary Master). These can be used in control centres and
other locations. HART® field devices include sensors, converters and actuators. Field devices
include 2-wire and 4-wire devices, and also intrinsically-safe versions for use in hazardous
areas.
There are 2 primary operation modes for HART-compatible devices: point-to-point mode and
multi-drop mode.
If the device is used in point-to-point mode, the HART® Protocol uses the Bell 202 Frequency
Shift Keying (FSK) standard to put a digital signal on top of the 4...20 mA signal. The connected
device sends and receives digital signals that agree with the HART® Protocol, and sends analog
signals at the same time. Only 1 device can be connected to the signal cable.
If the device is used in multi-drop mode, the network only uses a digital signal that agrees with
the HART® Protocol. The loop current is set to 4 mA. You can connect a maximum of 63 devices
to the signal cable.
An FSK or HART® modem is included in field devices and manual control units. It is necessary to
have an external modem for PC-supported workstations. The external modem is connected to
the serial or USB interface.

9.3 Connection variants

The signal converter is a 2-wire device with 4...20 mA current output and HART® interface.
• Multi-Drop Mode is supported

In a Multi-Drop communication system, more than 1 device is connected to a common
transmission cable.
• Burst Mode is not supported
There are two ways of using the HART® communication:

• as Point-to-Point connection and
• as Multi-Drop connection with 2-wire connection.
9.3.1 Point-to-Point connection – analogue / digital mode

Point-to-Point connection between the signal converter and the HART® Master.
The current output of the device is passive.
Also refer to Point-to-point connection on page 57.

9.3.2 Multi-Drop connection (2-wire connection)

Up to 63 devices may be installed in parallel (this signal converter and other HART® devices).
For an illustration of multi-drop networks, refer to Multi-drop networks on page 58.
For data on communication in multi-drop mode, refer to HART® network configuration on page
114.

10.5 Glossary
D
Dielectric constant An electrical property of the product. Also known as εr, DK and relative
permittivity. This property defines the strength of the wave reflected back
to the device's signal converter.
Distance The distance from the face of flange to the level (1 product) or the surface
of the top product (2 or more products). See the diagrams at the end of this
section.
Drop antenna A new generation of antenna made of PP. It has an ellipsoidal shape for a
more precise emission of radar signals.
DTM Device Type Manager. A driver for use in the PACTware™ program. All data
and functions of the device are included in it.
E
Electromagnetic compatibility Defines how much a device influences or is influenced by other devices that
(EMC) generate electromagnetic fields during operation. Refer to European
standard EN 61326-1 for further details.
F
FMCW Frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar technology. The signal is
continuously present, but the frequency is modulated, usually in
successive linear ramps over time (frequency sweeps).
H
Hazardous area An area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Trained personnel can
install and use a device in this area. The device must be ordered with the
appropriate options. The device requires approvals (ATEX, IECEx, cQPSus,
NEPSI etc.) related to site specifications. You can find more data about
hazardous areas in the Ex Manuals and Ex Certificates of Compliance.
Horn (cone) antenna A common antenna for most applications. It is used for the controlled
emission and collection of radar signals.
I
Interference signals False radar reflections usually caused by equipment in the tank.
L
Level Height from the bottom of the tank (user-defined) to the surface of the top
product (Tank height – distance). See the diagrams at the end of this
section.

LR54 APPENDIX 10
M
Mass Total mass of tank contents.
P
PACTware™
PACTware Software that operates and configures field devices from a remote
workstation. It is not necessary to use fieldbus software or programs
developed by the manufacturer.
R
Radar reflection Signal reflected from the surface of the tank contents.
S
Signal converter A set of electronic components in the device that send the measurement
signal through some signal filters. They identify and measure the level of
the tank contents.
T
TBF Tank Bottom Following (TBF) mode is an alternative measurement mode. It
allows the device to measure tank contents with very low dielectric
constants. TBF mode uses the reflection of the tank bottom to indirectly
measure the level of the tank contents.
U
Ullage volume Unfilled volume. See the diagrams at the end of this section.
V
Volume Total volume of tank contents.
