LM80.A | ABB laser level meter

Description

The LM80.A from ABB is a laser level meter or level transmitter used for non-contact measurement of liquid and solid levels in various industrial applications. Here are some key features and details about the LM80.A:

### Key Features:
1. **Non-Contact Measurement**: The LM80.A uses laser technology, which allows for precise measurement without needing to come in contact with the material being measured. This is particularly useful for corrosive or viscous materials.

2. **High Accuracy and Reliability**: The laser measurement principle provides high accuracy, making it suitable for a variety of applications, especially in difficult environments where traditional level measurement methods may struggle.

3. **Flexible Measurement Range**: It typically has a wide measurement range, allowing it to be used in different tank sizes and configurations.

4. **Robust Design**: The LM80.A is designed for industrial applications and is usually rugged enough to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as dust, humidity, and temperature variations.

5. **User-Friendly Interface**: Many models, including the LM80.A, offer intuitive interfaces for easy setup and configuration, often including digital displays and user-friendly menu navigation.

6. **Communication Interfaces**: The transmitter may support various communication protocols (such as 4-20 mA output, HART, etc.) for integration into existing control systems.

### Applications:
– **Water and Wastewater Treatment**: Monitoring levels in various tanks and basins.
– **Food and Beverage Industry**: Measuring levels in silos or storage tanks without contamination.
– **Chemical Processing**: Monitoring liquid levels in tanks where contact sensors may degrade.
– **Mining and Mineral Processing**: Measuring solids in large heaps or stockpiles.

### Installation and Maintenance:
– Proper installation is crucial to ensure accurate measurements; this includes positioning the device correctly, avoiding obstacles that could interfere with the laser beam.
– Regular maintenance may involve checking calibration and ensuring that the optics are clean to maintain measurement accuracy.
