Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPULS 11 is a radar sensor designed for non-contact level measurement in various industrial applications. It is particularly effective in water treatment, storage tanks with acids and lyes, and small bulk solids containers.

Benefits
  • Maintenance-free operation due to 80 GHz radar technology.
  • Accurate measurements regardless of medium properties and process conditions.
  • High plant availability with wear and maintenance-free operation.

Functionality
The sensor emits a continuous radar signal, which is reflected by the medium and received as an echo. The frequency difference between emitted and received signals is proportional to the distance, determining the filling height and converting it into an output signal.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring range: up to 8 m (26.25 ft)
  • Deviation: ≤ 5 mm
  • Beam angle: 8°
  • Output signal: 4 … 20 mA
  • Process fitting: Thread G1½, 1½ NPT, R1½
  • Process pressure: -1 … 3 bar (-100 … 200 kPa/-14.5 … 43.51 psig)
  • Process temperature: -40 … +60 °C (-40 … +140 °F)
  • Ambient temperature: -40 … +60 °C (-40 … +140 °F)
  • Operating voltage: 12 … 35 V DC

Materials and Housing
The wetted parts are made of PVDF with an FKM process seal. The housing is made of PBT plastic with IP66/IP67 protection rating.

Electronics and Adjustment
The device features two-wire electronics (4 … 20 mA) and supports wireless adjustment via Bluetooth using smartphones, tablets, or PCs with PACTware.

Dimensions
The sensor has specific dimensions for installation, including various thread options for process fitting.

Additional Information
Further details, including operating instructions and product information, are available on the VEGA website. The site also provides resources for instrument selection and contact information.

Specification sheet Two-wire 4 … 20 mA Radar sensor for continuous level measurement Technical data Measuring range Deviation Beam angle Output signal Process fitting Process pressure Process temperature Ambient temperature Operating voltage Materials The wetted parts of the instrument are made of PVDF. The process seal is made of FKM. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the "Configurator" at www.vega.com and "Products". Application area Housing versions The VEGAPULS 11 is the ideal radar sensor for non-contact level measurement in simple applications in a variety of industrial plants. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treatment, storage tanks with acids and lyes, additives in all industrial areas, or for level measurement through a plastic tank or IBC container. The sensor is suitable both for measuring liquids and for use on small bulk solids vessels or bulk solids containers. The housing is made of PBT plastic and is available in protection rating IP66/IP67. Electronics versions The devices are constructed with two-wire electronics 4 … 20 mA. Your benefit • Maintenance-free operation due to non-contact 80 GHz radar technology • Exact measurement results independent of medium properties and process conditions • High plant availability because wear and maintenance-free. Maintenance-free operation due to non-contact measuring principle Function The sensor emits a continuous radar signal through the antenna. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received as an echo by the antenna. The frequency difference between the emitted and received signal is proportional to the distance and depends on the filling height. The determined filling height is converted into a respective output signal and output as measured value. VEGA Grieshaber KG, Am Hohenstein 113, 77761 Schiltach/Germany, www.vega
