As a standard feature, the VEGAPULS 64 is separate from the pro-

cess through its plastic antenna encapsulation.

Optionally, the instrument is available with a Second Line of Defense

(SLOD), a second process separation. It is located as gas-tight

leadthrough between the process component and the electronics.

This means additional safety against penetration of the medium fron

the process into the instrument.

4.2 Mounting versions, plastic horn antenna

The optional mounting strap allows simple mounting of the instrument

on a wall, ceiling or boom. Especially in the case of open vessels, this

Please keep this in mind when mounting or making changes later.

When mounting the device, keep a distance of at least 200 mm

(7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the device is installed in the center

of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However,

these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter

" Setup").

If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false

signal suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on

the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating

the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup.

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the

device in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible

down to the bottom.

The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no

otherequipmentorxturescrossthepathoftheradarsignals.

Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spi-

rals, 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.

In case of existing vessel installations, a false signal suppression

should be carried out during setup.

If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false

echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures.

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:

•

Carryoutelectricalconnectionbytrained,qualiedpersonnel

authorised by the plant operator

•

If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should

be installed

Warning:

Onlyconnectordisconnectinde-energizedstate.

Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire

cable.Theoperatingvoltagecandierdependingontheinstrument

version.

Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".

Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the

mains circuits according to DIN EN 61140 VDE 0140-1.

Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit acc. to IEC 61010-

1, e.g. via Class 2 power supply unit.

Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinuencetheoperat-

ing voltage:

•

Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load

(e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault)

•

Inuenceofadditionalinstrumentsinthecircuit(seeloadvaluesin

chapter " Technical data")

The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without

shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above

the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, shielded cable

should be used.

Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and

cable gland. Use a cable gland suitable for the cable diameter to

ensurethesealeectofthecablegland(IPprotectionrating).

Shielded cable generally necessary in HART multidrop mode.

Metric threads

In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable

glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic

plugs as transport protection.

Note:

You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.

NPT thread

In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is

not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The

free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust

protection caps as transport protection.

51141-EN-210219

Note:

Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-

proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.

On plastic housings, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube

must be screwed into the threaded insert without grease.

Max. torque for all housings, see chapter " Technical data".

If shielded cable is required, the cable screening must be connected

on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the cable screening

is connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground ter-

minal on the outside of the housing must be connected to the ground

potential (low impedance).

In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installa-

tion regulations.

In electroplating plants as well as plants for cathodic corrosion protec-

tionitmustbetakenintoaccountthatsignicantpotentialdierences

exist. This can lead to unacceptably high currents in the cable screen

if it is grounded at both ends.

Information:

Themetallicpartsoftheinstrument(processtting,sensor,concen-

tric tube, etc.) are connected with the internal and external ground

terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly via

the conductive metallic parts or, in case of instruments with external

electronics, via the screen of the special connection cable.

Youcanndspecicationsonthepotentialconnectionsinsidethe

5.2 Connecting

The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-

loaded terminals in the housing.

Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface

adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.

Information:

The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the

electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver

and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it

snap in.

Proceed as follows:

1. Unscrew the housing lid

2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-

ing it slightly to the left

3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind

plug

4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.

1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires

5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and

the [->] key.

Vessel height/Measuring range

Through this selection the operating range of the sensor is adapted

to the vessel height, which considerably increases measurement reli-

abilityunderdierentbasicconditions.

The min. adjustment must be carried out independently of this.

Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your

settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and

the [->] key.

Caution:

Ifliquidswithdierentdielectricconstantsseparateinthevessel,for

example through condensation, the radar sensor can detect under

certain circumstances only the medium with the higher dielectric

constant. Keep in mind that layer interfaces can cause faulty meas-

urements.

If you want to measure the total height of both liquids reliably, please

contact our service department or use an instrument specially de-

signed for interface measurement.

Since the radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, it is the

distance from the sensor to the medium surface that is measured. To

indicate the actual level, the measured distance must be assigned to

a certain height percentage.

To perform the adjustment, enter the distance with full and empty ves-

sel, see the following example:

In menu item " Current output, variable" you specify which measured

variable the current output refers to.

In menu item " Current output, adjustment" you can assign a respec-

tive measured value to the current output.

Note:

A false signal suppression detects, marks and saves these false

signals to ensure that they are ignored in the level measurement.

This should be done with the lowest possible level so that all potential

interferingreectionscanbedetected.

Note:

Check the distance to the medium surface, because if an incorrect

(too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as a false

signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area.

If a false signal suppression has already been saved in the sensor,

the following menu window appears when selecting " False signal

suppression":

Delete: An already created false signal suppression will be com-

pletely deleted. This is useful if the saved false signal suppression no

longer matches the metrological conditions in the vessel.

Extend: is used to extend an already created false signal suppres-

sion. This is useful if a false signal suppression was carried out with

too high a level and not all false signals could be detected. When

selecting " Extend", the distance to the product surface of the created

false signal suppression is displayed. This value can now be changed

and the false signal suppression can be extended to this range.

In this menu item you specify the HART mode and enter the address

for multidrop mode.

In the mode " Fixed current output" up to 63 sensors can be operated

on one two-wire cable (Multidrop operation). An address between 0

and 63 must be assigned to each sensor.

If you select the function " Analogue current output", a 4 … 20 mA

signal is output in multidrop mode.

We recommended writing down the adjustment data, e.g. in this op-

erating instructions manual, and archiving them afterwards. They are

thus available for multiple use or service purposes.

If the instrument is equipped with a display and adjustment module,

the parameter adjustment data can be saved therein. The procedure

is described in menu item " Copy device settings".

9.1 Maintenance

If the device is used properly, no special maintenance is required in

normal operation.

Insomeapplications,buildupontheantennasystemcaninuence

the measuring result. Depending on the sensor and application, take

measures to avoid heavy soiling of the antenna system. If necessary,

clean the antenna system in certain intervals.

The cleaning helps that the type label and markings on the instrument

are visible.

Take note of the following:

•

Use only cleaning agents which do not corrode the housings, type

label and seals

•

Use only cleaning methods corresponding to the housing protec-

tion rating

9.2 Measured value and event memory

The instrument has several memories available for diagnostic pur-

poses. The data remain there even in case of voltage interruption.

Up to 100,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring

memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective

measured value. Storable values are for example:

•

Distance

•

Filling height

•

Percentage value

•

Lin. percent

•

Scaled

•

Current value

•

Measurement reliability

•

Electronics temperature

When the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is

active and stores distance, measurement reliability and electronics

temperature every 3 minutes.

The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with

PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read

out and also reset.

Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the

sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type,

event description and value. Event types are for example:

•

Modicationofaparameter

•

Switch-onandswitch-otimes

•

Status messages (according to NE 107)

•

The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings

of the sensor. These are the options:

•

In the factory

•

Or on site by the user

In both cases, the serial number of the sensor is needed. 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,theorderdatamustrstbedownloadedfrom

the Internet (see operating instructions " Electronics module").

Caution:

Allapplication-specicsettingsmustbeenteredagain.That'swhyyou

have to carry out a fresh setup after exchanging the electronics.

Ifyousavedtheparametersettingsduringtherstsetupofthesen-

sor, you can transfer them to the replacement electronics module. A

fresh setup is then not necessary.
