3 Product description The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received by the antenna as an echo. The frequency of the received signal always deviates from the actual emitting frequency. The frequency difference is proportional to the distance and thus to the filling height. This difference is calculated via special algorithms in the sensor electronics. The determined filling height is then converted into a corresponding output signal and outputted as the measured value. Packaging 3.
3 Product description parameter adjustment of these instruments, the adjustment software PACTware with VEGA-DTM is required. You can find further information in the operating instructions "Interface adapter VEGACONNECT" (Document-ID 32628). 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.
3 Product description You can find additional information in chapter "Mounting" of this operating instruction. Electronics module Electronics module "VEGAPULS series 60" is a replacement part for radar sensors of VEGAPULS series 60. A different version is available for each type of signal output. You can find further information in the operating instructions "Electronics module VEGAPULS series 60" (Document-ID 36801).
4 Mounting 4 Protection against moisture Mounting 4.1 General instructions Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following measures: • • • Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") Tighten the cable gland Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland This applies particularly to: • • • Outdoor mounting Installations in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g.
4 Mounting is a simple and effective way to align the sensor to the surface of the bulk solid material. The following versions are available: • • Mounting strap - Ceiling mounting Length 300 mm Length 170 mm The instrument is normally mounted vertically with a bracket on the ceiling. This allows swivelling the sensor up to 180° for optimal orientation and rotating for optimal connection. Fig. 3: Ceiling mounting via the mounting strap with length 300 mm Fig.
4 Mounting > 200 mm (7.87") Fig. 5: Wall mounting horizontally via the mounting strap with length 170 mm Fig.
4 Mounting 1 Fig. 7: Combi compression flange 1 Combi compression flange The adapter flange is available in different flange sizes. It is permanently connected with the radar sensor and sealed. 1 2 3 Fig. 8: Adapter flange 1 2 3 Connection screw Adapter flange Process seal You can find drawings of these mounting options in chapter "Dimensions". 4.
4 Mounting 1 2 Fig. 9: Mounting strap for screwing to the sensor 1 2 For angle of inclination in steps For angle of inclination, infinitely variable Depending on the selected variant, the sensor can be rotated in the strap: • • Polarisation Single chamber housing –– Angle of inclination in three steps 0°, 90° and 180° –– Angle of inclination 180°, infinitely variable Double chamber housing –– Angle of inclination 90°, infinitely variable –– Angle of inclination in two steps 0° and 90° 4.
4 Mounting these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter "Setup"). If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false signal storage during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the false signal storage at a later date with existing buildup. > 200 mm (7.87") Fig.
4 Mounting Fig. 13: Mounting of the radar sensor with inflowing medium The socket piece should be dimensioned in such a way that the antenna end protrudes at least 5 mm (0.2 in) out of the socket. ca. 5 mm Socket with threaded fitting Fig. 14: Recommended socket mounting h If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGAPULS 64 on sockets which are higher than the length of the antenna. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration.
4 Mounting Socket with flange connection Socket diameter d Socket length h 50 mm ≤ 250 mm 80 mm ≤ 300 mm 100 mm ≤ 400 mm 150 mm ≤ 500 mm Socket diameter d Socket length h 1½" ≤ 7.9 in 2" ≤ 9.9 in 3" ≤ 11.8 in 4" ≤ 15.8 in 6" ≤ 19.7 in The mounting socket should be as short as possible and its end rounded. This reduces false echoes from the vessel mounting socket. Fig.

Fig. 18: Alignment in liquids 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.
4 Mounting Fig. 20: Agitators Foam generation Through the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel, compact foam can form on the product surface, damping the emitted signals considerably. If foam is causing measurement errors, the largest possible radar antenna should be used. As an alternative, sensors with guided microwave can be used. These are unaffected by foam generation and are best suited for such applications. Flow measurement with rectangular overfall 4.

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 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, the cable screen must be connected on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen is connected directly to the internal ground terminal.

The serial numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument, on the inside of the housing as well as on the delivery note. When loading on site, first of all the order data must be downloaded from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronics module"). Caution: All user-specific settings must be entered again. Hence, you have to carry out a new setup after the electronics exchange.
