Radiometric level sensor SENSseries LB 480 L

for liquidsanalogdigital output

Next generation detectors for non-contact level measurement SENSseries LB 480 level measurement is particularly suited for demanding measuring tasks in safety-related applications. This line offers detectors certified for use in SIL 2 systems. Berthold is the first manufacturer of SIL certified radiometric level, level switch (min./max. alarm) and density measurement systems. SIL 3 can be achieved with the redundant installation of two LB 480 SIL 2 systems. Technological Highlights Simple and intuitive operation • Compact field probe with integrated transmitter • Quick start menu for easy start up • Continuous self-monitoring State of the art technology • SIL2 or SIL3 for level, level switch and density • Gas density compensation (GPC) • External radiation detection - XIP (X-ray interference protection) Safe for critical processes High reliability is supported by important diagnostic functions, such as permanent monitoring of the detector functionality by crosschecking the cosmic background radiation and much more. This guarantees outstanding operational safety. Cosmic radiation control also makes it possible to keep the required source activity very low. Berthold's LB480 SIL model is unique in the radiometric gauge market for being certified for density and low level switch measurements, in addition to high level switch and continuous level measurements. SIL certified option The SENSseries LB 480 detectors are certified for use in SIL2 applications. SIL3 is achieved by adding an identical redundant SIL2 detector for homogenous redundancy.
