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 delivers continuous, dependable level measurement for liquids, solids and interfaces. Using inverse frequency shift capacitance, it accurately measures low- and high-dielectric materials, 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 enabling reliable, accurate performance.

Highly accurate PFA‑lined probes enable continuous level measurement of liquids, solids and interfaces. They work with low- to high-dielectric materials, resist chemicals, reduce buildup and lower tensile load on the probe.

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

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

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

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

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

Applies 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 large emulsion layers.

PFA probes provides good chemical resistance and resilience to material buildup and reduced tensile force on probe.

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

Choose a rod version of 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 lower vessel 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 back‑up. Typically for Hi level overfill prevention and/or low‑level for dry‑run protection, these safeguards help ensure safe operation and process reliability.

Supplementary components are designed to work alongside most types of instrumentation to enhance functionality, such as enabling remote displays and remote monitoring solutions. They help extend system visibility and accessibility.
