Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPULS C 23 is a radar sensor designed for continuous level measurement, suitable for both liquids and bulk solids. It is ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and protection, such as water treatment and industrial environments.

Key Benefits
  • Maintenance-free due to non-contact 80 GHz radar technology.
  • Accurate measurements regardless of product, process, or ambient conditions.
  • Excellent signal focusing minimizes interference from vessel installations.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring range: up to 30 m (98.43 ft).
  • Deviation: ≤ 2 mm.
  • Beam angle: 4°.
  • Output signal: 4 … 20 mA/HART.
  • Mounting connection: Thread G1, 1 NPT, R1.
  • Process pressure: -1 … +3 bar (-100 … +200 kPa/-14.5 … +43.51 psig).
  • Process and ambient temperature: -40 … +80 °C (-40 … +176 °F).
  • Operating voltage: 12 … 35 V DC.
  • Materials: Wetted parts made of PVDF, PUR insulated cable.

Housing and Electronics
  • Housing made of PVDF, optimized for water/wastewater industry, with IP66/IP68 protection.
  • Available in two-wire electronics with 4 … 20 mA/HART, and digital versions with SDI-12 and Modbus/Levelmaster protocol.

Approvals
The sensor is approved for use in hazardous areas, compliant with ATEX and IEC standards.

Adjustment and Connectivity

Specification sheet VEGAPULS C 23-1

Specification sheet Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART Radar sensor for continuous level measurement Technical data Measuring range Deviation Beam angle Output signal Mounting connection Process pressure Process temperature Ambient temperature Operating voltage Materials The wetted parts of the instrument are made of PVDF. The connection cable is PUR insulated. 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 C 23 is the ideal radar sensor for non-contact level measurement with high accuracy requirements in all standard applications where a high degree of protection and particularly good signal focusing are required. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treatment, in pumping stations and rain overflow basins, for flow measurement in narrow channels, for level monitoring in rivers and lakes and for many other industrial applications. The housing is optimized for applications in the water/waste water industry and manufactured of PVDF. Due to the encapsulated cable gland, protection rating IP66/IP68 (3 bar) is achieved. The sensor is suitable both for measuring liquids and for use on bulk solids silos or bulk solids containers. The instruments are available in different electronics versions. Apart from the two-wire electronics with 4 … 20 mA/HART, two digital versions with SDI-12 and Modbus/Levelmaster protocol are possible. Your benefit • Maintenance-free operation due to non-contact 80 GHz radar technology Depending on the electronics version, the instruments are suitable for use in hazardous areas and are approved, for example, according to ATEX and IEC. • Exact measuring results independent of product, process and ambient conditions • Unaffected by vessel installations due to very good signal focusing Electronics versions You can find detailed information at www.vega.com/downloads and "Approvals". 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 11
