Radar VEGAPULS

Product catalog summary
Overview:
The document provides a detailed overview of the VEGAPULS series 60 radar sensors, designed for non-contact continuous level measurement in various process conditions. These sensors use microwave impulses to measure levels in vessels by calculating the time taken for signals to be emitted and received.
Measuring Principle:
The sensors emit short microwave impulses that reflect off the product surface and are received back by the antenna system. The time taken for this process is proportional to the level in the vessel. They are available in different frequency ranges (C and K-band) with ECHOFOX signal processing for reliable detection.
Applications:
  • Liquids: VEGAPULS 61, 62, and 63 are suitable for high accuracy applications, while VEGAPULS 65 and 66 are ideal for challenging conditions like foam and condensation.
  • Bulk Solids: VEGAPULS 67 and 68 are used for bulk solids, offering reliable measurement even in dusty or turbulent environments.
Technical Specifications:
The document includes detailed specifications for various VEGAPULS models, such as measuring range, accuracy, process fitting, temperature, and pressure capabilities. For instance, VEGAPULS WL 61 is designed for water and sewage management with a measuring range up to 15 m and accuracy of +/- 2 mm.
Benefits:
The sensors offer maintenance-free operation due to their non-contact measuring principle, ensuring high plant availability and accurate results regardless of process conditions.
Approvals and Versions:
The document lists various approvals (e.g., ATEX, IEC Ex) and versions/materials available for different process temperatures and fittings, providing flexibility for diverse industrial applications.
VEGAPULS 67 and VEGAPULS SR 68:
  • VEGAPULS 67: Suitable for smaller silos and vessels under simple process conditions. Features include maintenance-free operation, high plant availability, and reliable measurement independent of vapour, dust, and noise. Technical data includes a measuring range up to 15 m, process temperature -40 to +80 °C, and process pressure -1 to +2 bar.
  • VEGAPULS SR 68: Suitable for high silos and large bunkers under difficult process conditions. It offers a measuring range up to 30 m, process temperature -40 to +250 °C, and process pressure -1 to +100 bar.
VEGAPULS 68:
Designed for continuous level measurement of bulk solids in challenging conditions. Specifications include a measuring range up to 75 meters, process temperature -196 to +450°C, and process pressure -1 to +160 bar.
Antennas and Process Fittings:
Includes horn antennas with diameters of 48 mm, 75 mm, and 95 mm, and a parabolic antenna of 245 mm. Process fittings include thread options like G1½ and 1½ NPT, and flange options like DN50, DN80, and DN100.
Electronics and Housing:
Options for two-wire and four-wire systems with HART® communication, Profibus PA, and Foundation Fieldbus. Housing options include plastic, aluminium, and stainless steel with IP66/IP67/IP68 ratings.
Additional Features:
Includes options for rinsing connections, reflux valves, and antenna covers made from materials like PP and PTFE to prevent dust accumulation.
Recommendations:
Suggests using antenna covers to avoid dust layers and includes necessary mounting materials.

Radar VEGAPULS-2

VEGAPULS Non-contact measurement under all process conditions Measuring principle Extremely short microwave impulses are emitted by the antenna system to the measured product, reflected by the product surface and received again by the antenna system. The time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the vessel. A special time spreading procedure enables the reliable and precise measurement of the extremely short signal running times. The radar sensors are available in different C and K-band frequency ranges, this ensures the optimum solution for the different...
