Two new models have been added to this company’s Sitrans LR100 series of 80-GHz radar transmitters (photo). These high-frequency, compact transmitters deliver reliable measurements even in challenging environments. Sitrans LR140 features 4–20-mA simplicity and is configured via Bluetooth wireless technology and the Sitrans mobile IQ App. Sitrans LR150 offers a four-button user interface on an optional human-machine interface (HMI) for configuration or monitoring. Configuration is also available via Bluetooth wireless technology and the Sitrans mobile IQ App or remotely with 4–20-mA HART using Simatic PDM. The easy-to-use Quick Start Wizard will have the transmitter operational in minutes. Custom microchip technology delivers fast response and extremely high sensitivity to detect even the weakest of signals. — Siemens AG, Munich, Germany
