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.
