LST300 compact ultrasonic level
transmitter
Level measurement made easy
The most powerful ultrasonic level transmitter
in a compact form
LST300 represents the future of level measurement. Today’s
plants demand low power, easy to use instruments that deliver
great performance even in difficult conditions. Intelligent
compact transmitters have always been attractive, but certain
limitations previously prevented their use in many applications.
Let us introduce LST300 from ABB – the device that removes
the need for compromise on accuracy, power consumption,
ingress protection, chemical resistance, HMI capabilities or
measurement range. LST300 is the first to offer the benefits of
remote devices in a compact instrument.
Whether used in municipal water applications or industrial
processes, LST300 delivers enhanced reliability and
performance, reducing the cost of ownership and delivering
operational benefits.
A powerful low power device
With the most advanced technology in electronics, LST300 allows
you to perform measurements and add features that required
4-wire power in the past. The new LST300 measures up to 10 m
range while powering a graphic HMI, and still manages to function
using only loop power without any special requirements.
Automatically adapts to process conditions
The LST300 takes the already powerful GAP technology of the
LST400. The LST300 constantly monitors measurement data,
optimizing the system for the best signal to noise at any tank size.
This function ensures the LST300 always runs at its highest
accuracy. The LST300 is easy to install in both small areas like
stilling wells, and large tanks in difficult conditions.

Graphic echo display and full diagnostics
LST300 is the first to have full graphic capability and allows you to LST300
visualize the process on the instrument, while other compact Measurement range 0.25 to 6 m (10 to 20 ft)
instruments have simple character display systems only. Detailed 0.35 to 10 m (14 to 32 ft)
tracking of signal quality, noise levels and many other important Beam angle 7° (1 to 20 ft version) / 5° (1 to 30 ft version)
diagnostics make LST300 the easiest level transmitter to install. (@ -3dB, half angle)
