Why SITRANS Probe LU240?

SITRANS Probe LU240 delivers reliable, low-maintenance ultrasonic level measurement for demanding environments. Advanced echo processing, rugged IP68 construction, and flexible power and connectivity options enable accurate data, easy installation and lower lifetime costs — helping you maximize uptime and asset efficiency.

Achieve reliable, intelligent measurements

Leverage state-of-the-art Process Intelligence echo processing to separate true level signals from false echoes, delivering accurate, repeatable measurements with fast response — even in challenging applications.

Reduce maintenance in harsh environments

Eliminate buildup with maintenance-free active face technology and rely on an IP68 fully potted, encapsulated PVDF sensor that withstands corrosion, chemicals, and extreme shock.

Simplify powering and connectivity

Support battery and solar installations with low start-up current and 10.5 V operation, while enabling easy commissioning through HART 7, push-button setup, remote configuration, and optional Bluetooth.

Featured Capabilities

Reliable ultrasonic level with minimal blanking

SITRANS Probe LU240 shows why ultrasonic level measurement isn’t limited by blanking distance. Smart installation uses top-of-tank buffer zones, safety point level backup, and proven engineering practices to prevent overflow. The result: reliable, accurate performance in real-world applications.

Flexible system integration

SITRANS Probe LU240 fits seamlessly into Siemens’ integration ecosystem. Commission and configure via Bluetooth with SITRANS mobile IQ, remotely using the SITRANS LT500 controller or through SIMATIC PDM. Easily turn level data into actionable insights — from local displays and control rooms to cloud monitoring and digitalization apps.

Self-cleaning ultrasonic performance

SITRANS Probe LU240 is designed to perform in real-world conditions. The self-cleaning ultrasonic face resists build-up, cobwebs, wind, temperature variation, and vibration. With encapsulated electronics and proven Siemens ultrasonic technology, SITRANS Probe LU240 delivers reliable, accurate level measurement — even in harsh and demanding environments.

High-accuracy open channel measurement

SITRANS Probe LU240 delivers proven ultrasonic accuracy for open channel measurement applications. Built on decades of Siemens expertise, it provides reliable level data in environmental and water applications. Paired with Siemens controllers and communication options, it supports precise measurement, diagnostics, alarms, and seamless integration — helping ensure consistent, trustworthy flow monitoring.

Easy Bluetooth setup

Add Bluetooth wireless connectivity to SITRANS Probe LU240 with the SITRANS AW050 adapter. Using the SITRANS mobile IQ app on your handheld device, you can commission, monitor, and maintain your ultrasonic level transmitter quickly and safely, with intuitive diagnostics and real-time access, right at your fingertips.
