3 Product description Functional principle The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product and received by the antenna as echoes. The transit time of the radar pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and hence to the level. The determined level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value. Packaging Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.

VEGADIS 81 The VEGADIS 81 is an external display and adjustment unit for VEGA plics® sensors. For sensors with double chamber housing the interface adapter "DISADAPT" is also required for VEGADIS 81. You can find further information in the operating instructions "VEGADIS 81" (Document-ID 43814).
3 Product description You can find further information in the operating instructions "Electronics module VEGAPULS series 60" (Document-ID 36801). Supplementary electronics for double chamber housing The supplementary electronics is a replacement part for sensors with double chamber housing and 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire. You can find further information in the operating instructions "Supplementary electronics for 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire" (Document-ID 42764).
4 Mounting 4 Screwing in Mounting 4.1 General instructions On instruments with threaded process fitting, the hexagon must be tightened with a suitable wrench. For the proper wrench size see chapter "Dimensions". Warning: The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
4 Mounting Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with approved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs. 4.2 Mounting preparations The instrument is also available in versions with an antenna whose diameter is larger than the process fitting (thread, flange). In such cases the antenna must be disconnected from the process fitting before mounting. Horn antenna Proceed as follows: 1.
4 Mounting spring rings according to DIN 217 or wedge lock washers according to DIN 25 201. Parabolic antenna Proceed as follows: 1. Clamp VEGAPULS 62 with the flange, e.g. in a bench vice 2. Hold the connection piece (1) with a wrench on the flat surfaces (width across flats 22 mm) 3. Loosen counter nut (3) completely with a wrench (width across flats 36 mm) in the direction of the antenna 4.
4 Mounting 4.3 Mounting instructions Horn and parabolic antenna The illustrations with the following mounting instructions show a radar sensor with horn antenna. The mounting instructions apply analogously also to the version with parabolic antenna. Polarisation The emitted radar impulses of the radar sensor are electromagnetic waves. The polarisation is the direction of the electrical wave component.
4 Mounting Fig. 6: Mounting of the radar sensor on vessels with conical bottom Inflowing medium Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure that you detect the product surface, not the inflowing product. Fig. 7: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium The socket piece should be dimensioned in such a way that the antenna end protrudes slightly out of the socket. Fig.
> 10 mm (0.39") 4 Mounting Fig. 9: Recommended socket mounting with parabolic antenna When using a swivelling holder, keep in mind that the distance between antenna and socket gets smaller as the inclination of the sensor increases. Additional false reflections may be generated which can influence the measuring result at close range.

4 Mounting Vessel installations The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the radar signals. Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring point that the radar sensor has a "clear view" to the measured product.
4 Mounting As an alternative, sensors with guided microwave can be used. These are unaffected by foam generation and are best suited for such applications. Mounting in the vessel insulation Instruments for a temperature range up to 250 °C or up to 450 °C have a distance piece between process fitting and electronics housing. Ths distance piece is used for thermal decoupling of the electronics against high process temperatures.

5 Connecting to power supply 5 Safety instructions Connecting to power supply 5.1 Preparing the connection Always keep in mind the following safety instructions: Warning: Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage. • • Voltage supply The electrical connection must only be carried out by trained personnel authorised by the plant operator. If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installed. Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire cable.
5 Connecting to power supply Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with approved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs. With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert. Max. torque for all housings, see chapter "Technical data". Cable screening and grounding If screened cable is required, we recommend connecting the cable screen on both ends to ground potential.

Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan 36503-EN-161221 Information: Solid cores as well as flexible cores with wire end sleeves are inserted directly into the terminal openings. In case of flexible cores without end sleeves, press the terminal from above with a small screwdriver, the terminal opening is then free.
