VEGAMIP Microwave Barrier

Reliable level switching under rough conditions Abrasive bulk solids like minerals, coal or ores require robust measurement technology. Through many years of experience, VEGA knows these difficult operating conditions well and has designed the VEGAMIP microwave barrier particularly with the requirements and needs of the bulk solids industry in mind. Wear-free measurement with highest reliability Reliable and maintenance-free The VEGAMIP microwave barrier detects point levels tive to dirt, dust and buildup, enabling it to detect the limit without direct contact to the medium. This...

“As a partner of industry, we also feel obligated to find solutions to the difficult problems posed by rough operating conditions. We have already proven this as a pioneer in microwave level measurement with radar. Many customers want robust and simple solutions. That’s why we’ve worked intensively with the technology of the microwave barrier, developed it further and finally perfected it as VEGAMIP.” VEGAMIP: All advantages at a glance ▪ Apply as a minimum or maximum sensor ▪ Maintenance and wear free, non-contact technology ▪ Reliable level detection even with buildup, dust, fog, rain or...

VEGAMIP – as dependable as VEGA Like all developments at VEGA, the new VEGAMIP microwave barrier was well thought out and designed with the customer in mind. As a non-contact operating system, it guarantees reliable detection of limit levels, uninfluenced by dirt, buildup or baked-on deposits as well as independent of changing medium properties. Mounting options Mounting in the silo wall Mounting in threaded flange ▪ Simple mounting in 1½" welded sleeve ▪ Easy adaption to existing sockets ▪ Low wear due to front flush installation in the vessel Measurement through window Measurement through...

Configuration and function A VEGAMIP T61 transmitter and a VEGAMIP R61 receiver form the VEGAMIP microwave barrier. The microwave signals emanating from the transmitter are detected by the receiver. If the microwave signal is interrupted by the medium, the receiver generates a switching signal. Technical data Operating voltage Transmitting frequency Measuring range Process fitting Process temperature Process pressure Approvals Output 20 … 253 V AC or 20 … 72 V DC 24 GHz (ISM Band) up to 100 m G1½ A or 1½ NPT -40 … +80 °C (with mounting adapter up to +450 °C) -1 … +4 bar (-100 … +400 kPa)...

Ruggedness for all operating conditions No matter how rough and diverse the operating conditions are, VEGAMIP detects bulk solids just as well as liquids. Objects like vehicles and ships in loading zones are also reliably detected. Blockage detection of conveyor transfer points Feed shaft in the waste incineration plant Limit level monitoring in the coal silo ▪ Wear-free measurement ▪ Wear-free measurement ▪ Wear-free measurement ▪ Independent of medium properties ▪ Robust and maintenance-free Mounting possibilities: Measurement through windows ▪ Independent of product composition ▪...

“At VEGA we are always conscious of our responsibility and understand how important our measurement technology is for the security of people, processes and plants. The heavy demands we place on our own reliability and performance are also reflected in the VEGAMIP microwave barrier.” Level detection in the lime kiln Level detection in a plastic container Position detection of vehicles ▪ Independent of temperatures and ▪ Non-contact, no openings in ▪ Microwave barrier signals when ▪ Measurement through fire-proof ▪ Independent of product ▪ Independent of ambient condi- ▪ Non-contact and...

Simplified to the utmost: setup and operation “A microwave barrier must be, more than anything else, reliable. Through its robust technology, adaptability to any kind of process conditions and simplified adjustment concept, VEGAMIP meets this demand optimally. Like every new product, it represents VEGA’s philosophy: continuous progress from the technology leader – innovative, uncomplicated and guaranteed for the long term.” 10

VEGAMIP is designed to be as a compact sensor, i.e. as a standalone device without an auxiliary signal conditioning instrument. When it comes to process installation, users also profit from VEGA’s philosophy: simplify the technology and increase security. Setup and commissioning with the press of a button Easy adaption to existing systems The switching point of VEGAMIP is adjusted with two know-how gained from market-leading radar tech- buttons directly on the instrument. Sensitivity can be very nology and its use under extremely demanding op- precisely adjusted over a wide range. This...
