Maximum Process Temperature Chart
WARNING: Internal temperature must not exceed +80 °C (+176 °F).
Notes:
• The chart is for guidance only and does not represent every possible process connection
arrangement. (It will NOT apply if SITRANS LR250 is mounted directly on a metallic vessel
surface.)
• The chart does not take into consideration heating from direct sunshine exposure.
• Parameter 3.2.1 Current Internal Temperature monitors the internal temperature.
