SITRANS LC300 is a continuous capacitance level transmitter

SITRANS LC300 is an inverse frequency shift capacitance continuous level transmitter for liquids, solids, or liquid interface applications.

SITRANS LC300 provides continuous, reliable level measurement for liquids, solids, and interfaces. Using inverse frequency shift capacitance, it accurately measures materials with low and high dielectric constants, even in challenging vessels, while local operation and diagnostics simplify setup and maintenance.

Active Shield provides high-resolution level measurement across a wide range. It compensates for material buildup at the nozzle or process connection, reducing measurement errors and ensuring reliable, accurate performance.

Highly accurate PFA-lined probes enable continuous level measurement of liquids, solids, and interfaces. They are compatible with materials ranging from low- to high-dielectric constant, are resistant to chemicals, reduce buildup, and lower the tensile load on the probe.

An integrated LCD with push-button calibration simplifies configuration and commissioning, while NAMUR NE-compliant current signaling ensures clear and reliable communication.

Rod: 5.5 m (18 ft); Cable: 25 m (82 ft)

Standard industrial applications in the chemical, hydrocarbon processing, food and beverage, mining, aggregate, and cement industries

Provides a unified solution from a single supplier, simplifying device selection, commissioning, and ongoing support for successful level measurement applications.

Use Active Shield technology to help ensure stable level detection while ignoring material buildup near the process connection.

Uses capacitance technology to support level measurement of liquids, solids, and interface applications across a wide range of dielectric properties, including small vessels and interfaces with thick emulsion layers.

PFA probes offer good chemical resistance and resilience to material buildup, as well as reduced tensile force on the probe.

Use a cable version of the SITRANS LC300 when measuring level in tall vessels, silos, or applications with long measuring ranges. Cable probes are flexible, making them ideal for tall tanks and bulk solids where rigid rods may be impractical or subject to mechanical stress. They also perform well in applications with significant material movement or vibration.

Choose a rod version of the SITRANS LC300 for shorter measuring ranges, compact vessels, or applications requiring maximum mechanical stability and fast response, such as liquid level or interface measurement. Rod probes are rigid and well-suited for tight installations or vessels with lower heights.

In short, cable probes offer flexibility and extended reach, while rod probes provide rigidity and simplicity—helping ensure the right fit for your vessel design and process conditions.

A properly engineered level measurement system should also include a level switch for alarm or backup purposes. Typically used for high-level overfill prevention and/or low-level dry-run protection, these safeguards help ensure safe operation and process reliability.

Supplementary components are designed to work in conjunction with most types of instrumentation to enhance functionality, such as by enabling remote displays and remote monitoring solutions. They help expand system visibility and accessibility.
