Product catalog summary
Overview: The VEGAPULS series of radar sensors are designed for non-contact level measurement of liquids and bulk solids. They are suitable for extreme conditions, including high pressure, extreme temperatures, and aggressive liquids, and meet stringent hygiene requirements.
Measuring Principle: These sensors use microwave signals to measure levels. The signals are emitted towards the medium, reflected back, and the level is calculated based on the signal's travel time and the tank height.
Advantages: The radar technology offers high measurement accuracy unaffected by medium properties or process conditions like temperature and pressure. The sensors are maintenance-free and allow for user-friendly adjustments without needing to fill or empty the vessel.
Product Specifications:
  • VEGAPULS C 11, C 21/C 22, C 23: Suitable for simple process conditions with measuring ranges from 8m to 30m. They feature integrated plastic horn antennas and operate within -40 to +80°C and -1 to +3 bar pressure. They offer wireless setup via Bluetooth.
  • VEGAPULS 61, 62, 63: Designed for various process conditions, including aggressive liquids. They have a measuring range up to 35m and can handle temperatures from -196 to +450°C and pressures up to 160 bar.
  • VEGAPULS 64, 66, 67: These models cater to liquids under various conditions and bulk solids, with measuring ranges up to 35m. They offer high accuracy and are suitable for narrow vessels due to extreme signal focusing.
  • VEGAPULS 68, 69: Ideal for bulk solids in large vessels, with measuring ranges up to 120m. They are designed for high temperature and pressure conditions, offering maintenance-free operation.
Common Features: All models utilize radar technology with frequency ranges of 26 GHz or 80 GHz, and signal outputs of 4-20 mA/HART. They support various communication protocols and are approved by multiple international standards, ensuring reliability and safety in diverse applications.

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 aggressive 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 medium 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.
