Product catalog summary
Overview
VEGAPULS radar sensors are designed for non-contact level measurement of liquids and bulk solids. They are effective in extreme conditions, including high pressure, extreme temperatures, and aggressive liquids, and are suitable for applications with strict hygiene requirements. The sensors provide reliable measurements even in dusty and noisy environments.

Measuring Principle
The sensors operate by emitting microwave signals towards the medium. These signals are reflected back to the sensor, which calculates the level based on the signal's travel time and the tank height.

Advantages
Non-contact radar technology offers high measurement accuracy unaffected by changing medium properties or process conditions. The sensors are maintenance-free and allow for user-friendly adjustments without the need for vessel filling or emptying.

Product Specifications
  • VEGAPULS C Series: Suitable for simple process conditions with measuring ranges from 8m to 30m. They feature integrated plastic horn antennas and operate within a temperature range of -40 to +80°C.
  • VEGAPULS 61/62/63: Designed for various process conditions, including aggressive liquids and hygienic requirements, with measuring ranges up to 35m. They offer different antenna options and operate in temperatures from -196 to +450°C.
  • VEGAPULS 64/66/67: Ideal for liquids under various conditions and bulk solids in vessels of average height, with measuring ranges up to 35m. They provide high plant availability and are insensitive to buildup and contamination.
  • VEGAPULS 68/69: Suitable for bulk solids in average to large vessels, with measuring ranges up to 120m. They offer extreme signal focusing for narrow or large containers.


Technical Details
All models feature non-contact radar technology with frequency ranges of 26 GHz or 80 GHz, depending on the model. They support various signal outputs, including 4-20 mA/HART, Profibus PA, and Foundation Fieldbus. The sensors are approved by multiple international standards, ensuring safety and reliability in diverse applications.

Benefits
The VEGAPULS sensors provide maintenance-free operation, user-friendly setup via Bluetooth, and are cost-effective solutions for simple measuring tasks. They are designed to handle a wide range of applications due to their versatile antenna options and robust construction.

Level l Radar-1

Level l Radar Area of application Radar sensors in the VEGAPULS series are used for non-contact level measurement of liquids and bulk solids. They measure all kinds of liquids, even under high pressure and extreme temperatures, in solvents as well as a ggressive liquids, they are also suitable for use in applications with stringent hygiene requirements. VEGAPULS sensors can also measure the lightest to the heaviest of bulk solids with absolute reliability, even in the presence of dust and noise, without being affected by buildup or condensation. Measuring principle The measuring instrument sends out short microwave signals toward the m edium via the antenna system. The product surface reflects the signal waves, which are then received back by the antenna system. The instrument calculates the level from the running time of the microwave signals and the entered tank height. Advantages Non-contact radar technology is characterized by a particularly high measurement accuracy. The measurement is not affected by changing medium properties or by changing process conditions such as temperature, pressure or intense dust generation. User-friendly adjustment without vessel filling and emptying saves time and the sensors are maintenance free.
