The new benchmark in ultrasonic level measurement accuracy: the Sitrans LUT400 ultrasonic controller. With world-leading accuracy of 1?mm (0.04 inches), the Sitrans LUT400 ensures that measurements are consistently precise.

The compact, single-point Sitrans LUT400 controller excels at continuous level monitoring and control in liquids, solids, or slurry applica­tions in a wide range of industries. The controller is a flexible solution for an array of applications, including water/wastewater monitoring and pumping, inventory management, crusher control, truck load-outs, or anything in between.

The Sitrans LUT400 is available in three models: Sitrans LUT420 Level and Volume Controller; Sitrans LUT430 Level, Volume, Pump, and Flow Controller; and Sitrans LUT440 High Accuracy Open Channel Monitor, providing a full suite of advanced level, volume, and pump controls.

High performance and precision

The new controller features a patented digital receiver, which provides improved echo signal strength and confidence, as well as digital band-pass filtering for better noise rejection. Next-generation Sonic Intelligence offers better echo processing for more accurate level readings.

Savings and safety

With the Sitrans LUT400, operations are more cost-effective: inventory monitoring is always precise, processes can be better controlled, and expensive spill cleanups can be avoided. A reliable ultrasonic level controller reduces the need to send operators to the application for maintenance. By keeping workers out of hazardous situations altogether, companies immediately reduce the chance of accidents and the consequences to their business. Sitrans LUT400 is programmable in under a minute with graphical Quick Start Wizards on the intuitive local user interface with local four-button programming and menu-driven parameters. Sitrans LUT400 controllers are compatible with the full line of Siemens Echomax transducers, with an operating range of 0.3 to 60 m (1 to 200 feet), depending on the transducer.

Siemens Sitrans RD500

Sitrans RD500 is a remote data manager providing integrated web access, alarm event handling and data capture for instrumentation, including flow, level, pressure, temperature measurement and weighing.

It enables remote monitoring of inventory levels, process and environmental applications, and provides web access to most types of field instrumentation.  With Sitrans RD500 it is as simple as typing an ip address into your web browser to access the data from remotely installed instrumentation.  It collects and sends sensor data to logistics systems providing up to date, timely and accurate information used in decision making.

Key Applications and Industries

Remote monitoring of inventory and industrial processes is applicable to most industries.  The RD500 is the solution for customers that need to monitor field instruments from anywhere, any time of the day.  These are just a few application examples:

• Hydro carbon processing - inventory monitoring for oil and gas distribution
• Oil and Gas - oil supply retail auto service stations
• Mining, aggregates and cement - pit monitoring of shift production results, monitoring of cement inventory levels on building sites
• Chemicals, e.g. ink supply at newspaper print locations
• Food and beverages - animal feed levels, grains, cereals, and other ingredients
• Environmental monitoring, such as overflow, water treatment and site remediation
• Logistics - reduction of transportation costs for trucking and supply companies
