Product catalog summary
Overview: The VEGAPULS 42 is a radar sensor designed for non-contact level measurement in factory automation, particularly suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. It offers simple integration into control systems via IO-Link and features Bluetooth adjustment capabilities.
Specifications: The sensor has a measuring range of up to 15 meters with a deviation of ≤ 2 mm. It supports output signals such as IO-Link, PNP/NPN, and 4-20 mA. The process fitting options include Thread G¾, ¾ NPT, and G1 for hygienic adapters. It operates under process pressures from -1 to 16 bar and temperatures from -40 to +130 °C. The device is protected under IP66/IP67/IP69 standards.
Materials and Housing: Wetted parts are made of PTFE and stainless steel 316L, with seals available in FKM or EPDM. Housing options include stainless steel 316L or PBT/PC, with protection classes up to IP69.
Approvals: The VEGAPULS 42 has worldwide approvals for use in hygienic applications, with detailed certificates available online.
Adjustment and Operation: The device can be adjusted via IO-Link, Bluetooth, or on-site using an optional display. The VEGA Tools app and PACTware software facilitate wireless adjustments.
Electrical Connection: The sensor uses an M12 x 1 plug for electrical connections, supporting three-wire configurations with IO-Link.
Dimensions: Detailed dimensions are provided for versions with and without display, accommodating various thread types.
Additional Information: Further details, including operating instructions and product information, are available on the VEGA website.

Designed for food and pharmaceutical applications. The optional universal connection for hygienic adapters reduces the installation effort and stockkeeping. The device has an optional display with on-site operation and a coloured 360° status indication. The sensor is suitable both for measuring liquids as well as bulk solids. Your benefit • Simple integration into control systems by means of IO-Link • Simple setup via Bluetooth adjustment • Clearly visible coloured 360° status indication, display and on-site adjustment optional • Optional universal connection for hygienic adapter The wetted parts of the instrument are made of PTFE and stainless steel 316L. The process seal is made of FKM or EPDM. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the " Configurator" at www.vega.com and " Products". Housing versions The housing is made of stainless steel 316L or PBT/PC and is available in protection classes IP66/IP67 and up to IP69. Approvals Worldwide approvals are available for VEGA instruments, e.g. for use in hygienic applications. You can find detailed information in the available certificates on our homepage under " Downloads". Function The device emits a continuous radar signal through its antenna which is modulated in its frequency. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received by the antenna as an echo. 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, 777
